What more can these books give?

• Improve your practice of acupuncture
• Discard useless notions
• Focus on efficient actions
• Modify – for the better – your way of working

To all of you who are not satisfied with the results you obtain, it is for you that I have created this site. Why ? Because my life is a crusade for acupuncture. Because I have gone through the same dissatisfactions as you. Because a life of practice, of reading, of teaching, of reflecting, has sharpened my way of thinking and proceeding in front of a patient. And because I want to share with you my experience and my knowledge.


There are more reasons which make me write this:

• Too many students give up a course in the middle, often because they feel lost.
• Too many students who have finished a course don’t apply the techniques they made such an effort to learn simply because they don’t know how to put what they have learnt into practice.
• Too many practitioners are disillusioned because they don’t obtain the results they were hoping for or that their teachers promised them.
• Too many practitioners get wrapped up in traditional theories, complicated methods or sophisticated techniques to apply needles.

Learn:

• How to create a relationship of exchange with your patient.
• How to know and detect your own limits.
• How not to promise the moon without underestimating the power of acupuncture.
• How to put to practice the theory that you have learnt.
• How to make a diagnosis or prognosis and apply acupuncture in a simple, sober yet highly effective way.
• How to discern between the useful and the fanciful in the education that you have received.
• And many other “how tos”…

There are no secrets. There is only experience. To explain, to hand down.

I will tell you everything I do, and I guarantee that I do myself exactly what I say and what I write.

So many times in the course of my career I have felt at lost, overstepped, blocked. Each time I tried to find why, maybe not immediately but later, through reading, listening to colleagues, in seminars. I thought and thought and made efforts to detect where the problem was and which was the eventual solution. In this way I have enriched my savoir-faire.

It is this whole lot that I propose to you in a serie of volumes, on the practice of acupuncture and on everything surrounding it. The origins, the legends, the cultural context, the Chinese coloring, the weight and importance of Tradition … and the pragmatic aspect.
