Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Ling Shu, considered to be the Canon of Acupuncture, is the second part of the Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). These conversations about heaven, man, and earth and their dynamic relationships are attributed to the Yellow Emperor circa 2600 B.C., and his ministers. The first part is called the Su Wen, or Simple Questions. The second part, the Ling Shu, is translated here by Wu Jing-Nuan in its context as the first known treatise about acupuncture with its associated medical procedures and for its philosophical beauty. The title itself expresses a world vision and reality where material and structure are secondary to the living energy of Ling Shu, the Spiritual Pivot.

About the Author
After spending fifteen years in the U.S. as a venture capitalist on Wall Street, Wu Jing-Nuan returned to Asia to train in healing modalities. He has studied and been associated with Dhammasaro Bhikku, Yang Chia, and Professor Hsu Hung. Wu has been in private practice in Washington, D.C., since 1973 and is the founder of the Taoist Health Institute, which provides both traditional and modern medical services.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ling Shu or Spiritual Piviot, January 23, 2009
By M. J. Morgan "Qigate Acupuncture" (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Wu Jing-Nuan's book, "Ling Shu or The Spiritual Pivot" is perhaps one of the best English translations on the "Ling Shu" classical text. Being the second part of the "Huang Di Nei Jing" text, (a standard for understanding Asian Traditional Medicines), the "Ling Shu" expresses some of the most compelling aspects of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I consider this text "a must read" for any serious student of Chinese Traditional Medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better translations out there, January 21, 2008
By Heretic (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This translation includes valuable information in physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual issues that arise with illness. Often the more esoteric information is "lost in translation"
