They cover topics that are important to acupuncturists, bodyworkers, massage therapists, doctors, energy workers, and anyone who is interested in making a healing contact with others. They talk about skin-to-skin Contact, needling style, what practitioners experience when they're needling. Brian demystifies the movement of qi (while keeping it pretty mystical!). He also talks about the similarities between teaching and healing, the risks of standardized medicine (both in Ancient China and today), and the difference between rational and empirical knowledge.
