Reader Reviews
I would hate for someone who could be helped by this book to read a couple misinformed reviewers and shy away from trying it. So, just to jump into the discussion, I am a teacher of kinesiology and acupressure, and to the reviewer who found incorrect information, I wish to say the following: It is indeed valid for the authors to say that points for a specific meridian are the same on both hands, because there are so many different schools of acupuncture that it would be ridiculous to claim that one is right and the other wrong. The exact location of acupuncture points is today and has been debated throughout history. Additionally, the exact path of each meridian is extremely intricate and impossible to illustrate. Hence, books for lay people only show general paths, which are the same on both sides of the body. These are useful but not exact, and millions of people use these very general interpretations every day with great results. Additionally, it would in most cases be impossible for a layperson to flood a meridian with the "wrong" Qi, for 2 reasons: a) they are not a professional and therefore do not know the specific steps that would cause an imbalance, and b) contrary to the teachings of many "new age" methods, a healthy meridian can handle energy going in any direction. I would encourage anyone who is interested in the subject to try the simple methods in this book, and see if it works for them.
