Meditations on the Meridians
Hands-on Hara Diagnosis

Class Handouts
Musings

In 1992 I founded the Acupuncturists Support Group in San Francisco, to promote education and collaboration amongst acupuncturists. The ASG routinely sponsored seminars with Jeffrey Yuen, Elisabeth Rochat, Kiiko Matsumoto, Jian Fu Jiang, and many others. As a result colleagues would often ask for technical advice or explanations on these masters’ styles, and the articles offered below followed.

These articles are provided to assist you with technical information. You may use them in any way you see fit. I do not regard the information provided as mine: it becomes yours when it becomes part of who you are and how you practice, thus copyrighting is not enforced. In the case of unpublished articles, please note that these had not been fully edited.

Meditations on the Meridians


These articles are based on the work of Jeffrey Yuen. They are meant to encourage us to deepen our understanding of the meridian system, and were originally part of a proposed book of the title Meditation on the Meridians.
