Acupuncture and the Chakra Energy System

Acupuncture and the chakra energy system have both become increasingly mainstream but rarely have the two approaches been joined, except by Donna Eden. By comparing the approaches of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture with the chakra energy system, John Cross offers proven strategies for treating the causes of conditions, not just the symptoms.This book describes the seven major and twenty-one minor chakras in detail and explains how each is related to the body's aura, meridians, Key points, endocrine glands, autonomic nervous system, and varying symptomatology. Focusing on how to use the chakras in the treatment of chronic physical and emotional conditions —osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, sciatica, insomnia, hypertension, depression, menopausal symptoms, frozen shoulder, and others — clear, in-depth explanations make techniques easy for anyone to follow.Includes appendices on how to use the chakras with copper and zinc needles and biomagnets, as well as which types of patients respond to such treatments, Acupuncture and the Chakra Energy System is a well-rounded guide for acupuncturists and other practitioners as well as interested students.
