DOWNLOAD EBOOKTianGan (Heavenly Stems) and DiZhi (Earthly Branches), commonly abbreviated to GanZhi, originated in the ancient Chinese cosmological sciences and is a complex calendrical system which was created to codify the patterns of life and of the universe itself. The ten symbols of Gan express the Yin or Yang perspective of Five Elements and embody the Way of Heaven. The 12 symbols of Zhi, made manifest in the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, hold the root of each Element and embrace the Way of Earth. This set of study cards beautifully presents the key characteristics of each of the 22 GanZhi symbols, making it a unique learning tool and reference guide. The Chinese character of each Stem or Branch is shown, and for calligraphers and those who want to draw the characters correctly the stroke order is clearly illustrated on separate cards. This accessible learning tool offers essential information on the fundamental building blocks upon which Chinese classical texts, classical Chinese medicine, Fengshui, Chinese astrology, traditional Chinese cosmology, Qigong, Neigong, Taiji, and other inner cultivation practices are built. These cards provide a key starting point for the beginning student and offer invaluable information for the seasoned practitioner to deepen their practice. A companion book (9781848191518), also published by Singing Dragon, is available.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this essential text, the authors explore concepts from the Su Wen, Ling Shu and Nan Jing to bring us a view of ideas that flowered in an age rich with Chinese medical history. They discuss the philosophical and theoretical development of the five-phase system, in particular the relationship of five phases to the I Ching, Tao Te Ching, and other classical Chinese texts, then present the correspondences that a practitioner can apply to the problems of diagnosis and treatment. The diagnostic section is a complete and practical discussion of technique, including pulse, body type, visual diagnosis, and hara or abdominal diagnosis. The treatment section describes basic exercises, breathing techniques, treatment principles, and techniques from eminent classical texts. Modern treatment protocols are presented in clear, easy to use tables. It is one of the best sources of technique currently available and it reaches beyond technique to the art of healing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAcupuncture practiced in China since time immemorial has in recent years become widely known the world over and acupuncture treatment is now obtainable outside China almost everywhere. The general experience gained from acupuncture treatment in recent years however, has often not been satisfactory, which has lead to the widespread, but incorrect view that acupuncture sometimes works, but often not and the misguided idea has spread that acupuncture is suitable only for the treatment of physical pains. There are of course reasons for these mistaken views. It is ignorance of the acupuncture rules, which are indispensable for successful treatment that causes failure. These rules were laid down in the Huang-ti Nei ching of the legendary Yellow Emperor (about 2700 BC). The book explains the secrets of these rules for successful acupuncture treatment which the author has researched and practiced for more than 50 years and demonstrates how to apply them.
