Acupuncture As A Path of Self Cultivation

A Blue Poppy blog post by Bob Quinn

If you know what you are doing, you can do what you want. Moshe Feldenkrais The way we do anything is the way we do everything. Martha Beck

In 1995 as I entered Chinese Medicine college I did not realize that in pursuing acupuncture, I was entering a career that would directly tie in with my longstanding interest in meditation, which is to say that I did not know Chinese Medicine could be pursued as a dao, a way. The 23 years since those early student days have clearly revealed to me over and over again that, if one is to get anywhere worth getting in acupuncture, it needs to be approached in this manner. Acupuncture is a path with no end, and we progress by elevating our perception abilities and our manual skills.

One can sit on a one-legged stool; it is a bit of a balancing act, but it is possible. A two- legged is a bit easier but also not really so relaxing. It is not until one gets three legs on the stool that real comfort and stability is possible. The triangle is after all the smallest stable structure in nature. This is a big part of what Buckminster Fuller used to formulate his ideas on how the universe works.
