I am very interested in the systems of human formation. How we are composed of five bodies, or rather four 'bodies' and a fifth condition which is beyond embodiment whether subtle or physical.

During a shamanic ritual I had a moment of great fear and I thought I was dying . It was as if, once I realized i was dying, that in that moment I realized I could also see 'of what I am formed', my origins. A part of me has always wanted to know the architecture of this majestic human system, to understand it. What I got was to be turned back around facing in towards incarnation and I started to get the answer to the question "of what am I made?"

This has lead to an exegesis - a revealing of the architecture of the human system. In the last seven years I have examined many topics related to the four bodies, the Five Forces, the Eight Extraordinary Channels, the Zang-Fu organs and the 24 regular acupuncture channels

I have wanted to understand the 12 acupuncture channels for a long time! It is exhilarating to finally see what you have wanted to see for a long time. But then I realized that it doesn't neccessarily have value unless this information can be used to help the world and our suffering. So my intent is that this information and the healing techniques and insights which arise from it, can alleviate some of the suffering of the world and lead us to a deeper understanding of our right relationship with nature, ourselves, our fellow humans and the legions of beings, both physical and in the subtle realms, who are also connected to this Earth.
