Sun's Dance of The Channels: Sun’s Dance of the Channels

When the train comes to a stop a new adventure would begin. Sun was returning to their grandparents for another summer. Expectations were high. They wanted to explore how the channels and the acupuncture points on them worked.

Written in an accessible, story-telling format in the context of a child, Sun, visiting their grandparents and having lessons over afternoon tea, this book targets practitioners looking to go beyond the foundations to acquire a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine theory, philosophy, and concepts. This is the second book in the series and focuses on distal needling techniques and Unified Acupuncture Theory as well as Dr Richard Tan's Balance Method, Master Tung acupuncture and Japanese Manaka acupuncture styles. Along with an overview of the theoretical basis for holography, it also presents a logical explanation of the channel interaction systems and covers how they can be applied in practice.

With this second title, Jonathan Shubs has managed to bring us deeper ancient wisdom. Sun guides us along their journey to practitioner excellence. Using practical and qualitative methods, very much pointed towards the journey of learning, he has written a masterpiece that we can all enjoy, appreciate, and learn from as an inquisitive child would learn! Making all acupuncture more accessible to students and masters a like, he is opening us to the full implications of interactions between the channels.

What an engaging read! Jonathan Shub's use of narrative makes this book fun and accessible. He develops for the reader a clear and coherent approach to understanding how the channels interact as well as the concepts of imaging and mirroring. Whether you are a seasoned balance method practitioner, a classic TCM acupuncturist or a beginner, this book is for you. A great mix of theory, logic, clinical applications and fun.

The "Unified Acupuncture Theory" is a wink at Einstein's search for the "Unified Field Theory"! In fact, all of us practitioners of Acupuncture have imagined the channel concept through our own unique perceptions. Jonathan Shubs's original approach was born out of his personal vision and interpretation of several acupuncture systems that he transmits in a simple and visual language, accessible to all.
