Alchemy of the Extraordinary: A Journey into the Heart of the Meridian Matrix

Harmonize your ying and your wei, bro.

still in the process of "reading" this book if the word "reading" is an accurate description of engaging the information presented in this book -the author states in his preface that the book is meant to be read in small sections to inspire a reflective state of mind, and also, "to support the experimental awareness of ourselves as spirit embodied in form" - so far, the information that I have accessed, and am pondering, is "extraordinary" and it feels like it is alive! - quite different from information I've accessed in other books - I find it incredibly engaging and quite enlightening about what I am beginning to understand as the "Inner Tradition" - enjoy!

Arrived as promised. In perfect shaped. I found out my instructor wrote a book and I got it. Its an awesome book !

Mr. Shea's book is a gift to acupuncturists. There are so few books written in English that explore the psychological and spiritual underpinnings of the Secondary Vessels. His book is clear, thorough and inspires a deeper exploration of heart and soul of acupuncture.

This book synthesizes and weaves a deep understanding of the 8 extraordinary vessels-absolutely fascinating and powerful.

If you are interested in the truth of authentic healing, here is your guide within the context of Chinese Medicine. Well written by someone who has clearly walked many people through the journey.

Remarkable! The most profound treatise on healing that I have encountered. Peter Shea has made a profoundly important contribution to the art of healing.

Thank you for the item.

Absolutely brilliant. Inspired and inspiring.

Fascinating.

Interessting informations about the subjects!

Es un libro magnífico e inspirador. Ofrece una hermosísima explicación del ser humano y del Cosmos, sintetizando los conceptos de la Filosofía Daoísta y la Medicina Tradicional China. Está escrito como un tratado, directo y ordenado; sin circunloquios personalistas propios de otros autores. Es toda una reflexión compartida sobre una forma de concebir el mundo y la experiencia vital humana al servicio de la Medicina. Para todos los conocedores del pensamiento y las artes orientales, sobre todo terapeutas, una lectura asombrosa, una joya, entre la multitud de textos contemporáneos.

What a beautifully written book. It is eloquent, with poetic imagery and symbolism... Yet also succinct and informationally-replete. It occupies the niche where art and science co-mingle. A right balance of Yin and Yang. It is rare to find a book written so pleasingly.
