Understanding

Sacred acupuncture is a system of understanding which views humans as being comprised of five parts: a physical body, an etheric or Qi body, a mental or Shen body, a causal or Ling body and a universal or Tao nature, which is not really a 'body' except in the universal sense. Sacred acupuncture asserts that in this new 2,500 year historical cycle it is the understanding of the inter-relationships between these 'bodies' that is an important key to harmony and to healing. Sacred Acupuncture is thus an understanding of our four-bodied, five-fold nature, and it is a way of healing by using the inter-relationships between our four-bodies, and our non-embodied nature.

Sacred Acupuncture involves a detailed examination of the mysteries of embryology. At conception, the beginning of human life, there is an unfolding of the Five Forces (Five elements) . This is a sequential and experiential penetration of the five realms of animal evolution. What happens is that the newly incarnating human being experiences life as unicellular, then as insectoid, then as reptilian, then as mammalian and then finally as human. These five stages of evolution correspond to five different types of consciousness, and to the classical five elements of Taoist philosophy, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire. These are better translated from the Chinese as the Five Forces. These five forces also generate the biological guiding intelligences of the body design.

Sacred Acupuncture is based on the understanding that the human system is a replication of the five-fold universe itself; that we consist of a physical body, three subtle bodies - the etheric, mental and causal bodies; and finally a non-embodied consciousness.

Sacred Acupuncture is an examination of how we are formed from the moment of conception; how we are formed by the underlying forces of the five-fold nature of the universe, and how these forces give rise to the various layers of the energy system, generating the three Dan-Tian, the four bodies, the four primary modifications of consciousness,  the five Zang organs, the five primary emotions, the seven chakras, the eight extraordinary channels, and finally the 12 regular acupuncture channels.
