Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Your reasoning is completely flawed... 2 + 2 = 5 Get one issue and read it for yourself. What else can I say?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Steve, NAJOM is one of the best reads you'll probably ever have! As John suggests: Get a copy and enjoy! :0) Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Gentlemen, Thanks for the positive support of NAJOM. Through the untiring relentless work of Junji Mizutani, Stephen Brown, and Hideo Takahashi NAJOM, for 15 years, has been a unique journal for Japanese style acupuncture and the only bi-lingual journal giving us access into the contemporary practices in Japan. For the past year I and Andrew Fitzcharles, as editors of NAJOM, have worked hard to raise the standard of publication and I'm gratified to see that these efforts have not gone unnoticed. I encourage readers to to NAJOM, and if you are a r and have an interesting personal, clinical or research piece, we encourage you to submit it for publication, and it also be translated into Japanese so that our colleagues over there can appreciate our interests and directions. Junji does have a CD of back issues available for sale, but I must admit that does not have a searchable database which makes it somewhat less useful and absolutely more time consuming. However, until we are able to construct a searchable CD, it is still a worthwhile reference resource.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I can't say enough how much I've enjoyed reading the journals from the very beginning. In the first issue, Mizutani writes about his mind-opening experience sleeping on the ground on the Pulitzer Prize winner Gary Snyder's land in the Sierra Nevadas of CA. It is a very authentic and universal story. In the second and third issues, Manaka's treatment methodologies are displayed and very practical acupuncture and moxibustion techniques are shared, including the making of purple cloud ointment. I'm trying these now and they keep me inspired with fresh perspectives and fertile ground to keep expanding the practice... to go both broader and deeper. Thanks for keeping it going and thriving. I hope that we can support this endeavor and the others like it, which continue to bring the best out of our medicine !

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Z'ev, I will quote from the 1st issue of NAJOM July 1994 pg. 3 " Looking Forward by Junji Mizutani In the summer of 1977, I spent a night in the mountains near Nevada city, CA. It was after I had searched out a cabin in the woods to meet a poet named Gary Snyder. In the evening, Gary led me to an open space out behind his mediation hut. He offered me a goza, a simple Japanese straw mat, for a bed. Laying on the goza, I could feel the warmth of the earth seeping into me. The firmness of the ground beneath me actually felt good and I became absorbed in the view of the star filled sky. The moonlight streamed down on me, filtering through the pine branches overhead. After a time, I felt as though my body were floating free out in space. It was as if I were a fetus floating out in the vastness of space. The warmth of the earth on my back felt like an umbilical cord connecting me to my mother, so I felt at peace. This was just an experience I had sleeping outdoors one night while visiting the U.S.A. It is clear in retrospect, however, that it was the beginning of a major shift in my life. Gary had succeeded in giving me an experience of the universe. My journey back to the Orient started from that moment. If I hadn't met Gary, I would probably still be an Oriental person without a real identity or knowledge of the Orient, although I am Japanese. I returned to Japan shortly after that experience and discovered my connection to the Orient though Oriental medicine... " Without this singular experience, we may not have had NAJOM or have been able to have as much access to some of the great practitioners from Japan, which would have changed the course of our medicine in this country entirely. Gary's book, " Turtle Island " had a profound impact on me as well. So, I named my clinic Turtle Island Integrative Health....

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Fran, Yes... that was the coolest intro I've ever read from the first edition of NAJOM. Helping people is great... helping ourselves too is icing on the cake.
