About The Medical I Ching: Oracle Of The Healer Within
Product Description This book is a special version of the timeless Chinese classic of philosophy and metaphysics written especially with the health care practitioner in mind. It includes diagnostic and prognostic indication for each of the 8 trigrams, 64 hexagrams, and all changing lines. Dr. Shima also includes extensive instructions on using all types of casting methods and the pros and cons of each, interpretation of readings, and an entire chapter of case histories. Review For the first time in English, Dr. Miki Shima has synthesized the age old wisdom of the I Ching and the vast body of Chinese Medicine. I strongly recommend this exciting, original work. -- Dr. Janet Zand, ND OMD I firmly believe that this volume is the first of its kind in the West and will further the understanding of this ancient book of wisdom. I have no problem in recommending Dr. Shima's work on the I Ching to anyone interested in practicing medicine, Western or Oriental. -- Grandmaster Sango Kobayashi From the Back Cover Chinese doctors of antiquity have strongly asserted a great many times that, "Medicine is connected to the I Ching." Sun Si-Miao said, "Without understanding the I Ching, it is not possible to become a supreme doctor. Zhang Jie-bin said, "The theory of the Nei Jing is based on the theory of the I Ching." And, "If the theory of the I Ching is not clear, neither can one know the Nei Jing clearly." Based on these statements, a literature developing in China called yi yi or medical I (Ching). This is exemplified by Tand Zong-hai's Clarifying Words on Medicine and the I Ching; Li Yu-cun's A Guide to the Reasoning of the Medical I Ching; and Shao Tong-zhen's medicine and I Ching, One Theory amongst a number of other books. The importance of the I Ching in medicine is still reiterated today. Sifu Tsuei Wei has said, "If the Nei Jing is the door to the treasure house of Chinese medical classics, then the I Ching is its key." Now, with the publication of Dr. Miki Shima's The Medical I Ching: Oracle of the Healer Within, perhaps the most clinically useful part of the medical I Ching literature is being introduced to the West.

He has also produced three clinical video-tapes from his past workshops on the subject of Japanese needling techniques.
