Talking About Acupuncture in New York (Memorial Edition)
This beautiful book is the transcript of a seminar given by Professor JR Worsley in 1980 to members of the Arica Institute and the public. First published in 1982 this memorial edition includes many pages of tributes, giving an account of the deep impact Professor Worsley and this amazing system of medicine have made on so many thousands of peoples' lives.

JR Worsley was an internationally acknowledged Master, a true pioneer in his field and a truly extraordinary teacher. His presentation was a tapestry of the range of human emotion, sometimes utterly unpredictable, and his radiant humour would always shine through.

Delivered with his inimitable wit, deep passion and understanding, the atmosphere of that day in 1980 comes alive. Professor Worsley reminds us of how we can gain so much by observing the signs that nature is showing us, and learning to use our senses as nature intended us to use them. He explains how the foundation of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture lies in nature.

"I put it to you that neither man nor woman can improve upon nature. This system of medicine is based on the most solid foundation of any system of medicine in the world. It is wholly based on natural laws."

JR talks us through these natural laws, showing us how a practitioner of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture would be able to influence a person's energy with acupuncture treatment so that they might live in accordance with these natural laws, and thus in better health.

He talks about the profound impact on our health of particular times of the day, of the seasons, of extremes of temperature, of dependency on medication, of painful relationships, of diet and colour. He tells us what we can do to help ourselves. He reminds us above all that we are unique individuals, with individual needs. He teaches us that there is no value in continuing to treat and suppress symptoms, as if they had the same root cause in one patient as in another. This system of acupuncture can go to the root cause, and enable deep change and transformation, so that symptoms might disappear completely and forever.

This book will fascinate and delight anyone interested in learning something about the way acupuncture works, and in beautiful language that a lay person can easily understand.
