Characters of Wisdom - Taoist Tales of the Acupuncture Points

Over four thousand years ago the great Chinese Emperors knew that life was regulated by energy meridians running through the body. Along each of these energy channels were special points that could be stimulated to bring life into balance and harmony. Each of these points was given a very special name that told a story about both how the energy flowed and how it could be used to bring harmony to our lives. It is amazing to think that each of us has over 700 magical points bringing balance and harmony. Acupuncturists stimulate these points in various ways to bring the energy into balance again. This book is about the Taoist tales of the Chinese characters of 361 of these acupuncture points. It is an introduction to the beauty of this ancient form of healing medicine and will be a delight to practitioners, students and anyone interested in Chinese calligraphy and the healing spirits of each of these special points.
