Product Description

The Ling Shu, considered to be the Canon of Acupuncture, is the second part of the Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). These conversations about heaven, man, and earth and their dynamic relationships are attributed to the Yellow Emperor circa 2600 B.C., and his ministers. The first part is called the Su Wen, or Simple Questions. The second part, the Ling Shu, is translated here by Wu Jing-Nuan in its context as the first known treatise about acupuncture with its associated medical procedures and for its philosophical beauty. The title itself expresses a world vision and reality where material and structure are secondary to the living energy of Ling Shu, the Spiritual Pivot.

Ling Shu or Spiritual Piviot
Dr. Wu Jing-Nuan's book, "Ling Shu or The Spiritual Pivot" is perhaps one of the best English translations on the "Ling Shu" classical text. Being the second part of the "Huang Di Nei Jing" text, (a standard for understanding Asian Traditional Medicines), the "Ling Shu" expresses some of the most compelling aspects of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I consider this text "a must read" for any serious student of Chinese Traditional Medicine.

One of the better translations out there
This translation includes valuable information in physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual issues that arise with illness. Often the more esoteric information is "lost in translation"
