Five Spirits Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological And Spiritual Healing

Hidden at the heart of Chinese medicine is a little-known treasure called the Five Spirits. Similar to the Hindu chakra system, the Five Spirits are a map of the human psyche that describes a precise and efficient technology for psychospiritual transformation. Here acupuncturist Lorie Eve Dechar shows how the spirits can be worked with to heal physical, emotional and psychological distress as well as trigger deeper spiritual transformation. This practice emerges from the Taoist tradition of "the mysterious feminine," the yin nurturing mother energy within all of us that needs only to be called upon to heal us at the deepest levels of our being. This aspect of Chinese medicine goes beyond the healing of pain and disease, beyond the maintenance and repair of the physical body. Its goal is transformation-the reorganization and spiritual upgrading of organic life.
