Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 For what is definitely the best english language discussion of the divergent channels, Miki Shima and Charles Chace have just put out a wonderful book - blue poppy press - which explores the significance of the Divergent channels, the strategies of various Japanese Divergent Channel specialists - just a wonderful book for anyone who tends to use the various Japanese styles of Acupuncture out there. TCM books available in English generally make a very passing mention of these very important channels. According to Shima and Chace they enable access to a very deep level, somewhat equivalent to the 'internal medicine' of chinese herbs.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone please explain to me the significance of the Fifteen Major Collaterals and the Twelve Divergent Channels? I know that one relates to the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and the other to the Twelve Primary Channels, but, what are their functions? Why should I learn about them? These are the only two sets of channels that i am not familiar with and have just found out about. Are there any other sets of channels I should know about?
