Rooted in the Su Wen and Ling Shu, Dr. Twicken’s book integrates Chinese and Taoist medical philosophy, theories, and principles to show that the divergent channels are an essential aspect of the clinical practice of acupuncture. He takes a step-by-step approach to assist practitioners in “working out” the channels, and shows how this versatile channel system can be used in any acupuncture treatment. Dr. Twicken also includes instruction of Five Shen Nei Dan inner meditation to help practitioners gain a more profound emotional and spiritual understanding.

Praise for Divergent Channels Jing Bie
“David Twicken presents a detailed description of the energy flows of the divergent channels and how to apply them in clinical practice. Twicken also presents a comprehensive ancient Taoist Nei Dan meditation to transform emotions into vitality and rejuvenating Qi… I highly recommend The Divergent Channels – Jing Bie: A Handbook for Clinical Practice and Five Shen Nei Dan Inner Meditation to healers of all traditions.”

“I’ve had the great honor of learning directly under Dr. Twicken and the results of his treatment approaches, including divergent channel treatments, have been phenomenal. Patients have not only reported having significant improvement in chronic symptoms but also profound spiritual experience that I haven’t found with other treatment approaches.”
-Stephen Chee, M.D., Board Certified Family Physician and Faculty at two Chinese Medicine programs.
“In this text David Twicken, an experienced practitioner of both Chinese medicine and Taoist (Daoist) inner alchemy, offers readers both a working clinical model of divergent channels and a window into his own deep exploration of these topics.”

“This is my new favorite of Dr. Twicken’s many books displaying his masterful grasp of Taoist cycles, I Ching, and Chinese bio-psycho-spiritual medicine. It’s a brilliant summary of how divergent channels integrate the 14 major treatment strategies and nine needling methods.”
