The turning of the great Wheel of Dharma- the cycle of human evolution, requires that we reinvigorate the ancient knowledge its workings in relation to how we are made, and of what we are made. This is an elucidation of human evolution, human form and the processes of healing. If we can heal ourselves wholly, we can all become servants of the Good and responsible caretakers of our beautiful planet Earth. Our future can be glorious" - Adam Atman Sacred Acupuncture is a description of how the principles which give rise to the Universe also generate human beings, and how these principles are mapped within the human system. This understanding is anything but new, but its expression sometimes needs renewing. Sacred Acupuncture is a series of revelations about the true nature of the human energy systems. It is my understanding that the ideas expressed within Traditional Chinese Medicine are not mere cultural artifacts or superstitions. They are an elucidation of a cosmic order that we humans are an expression of. However the original seeing of the internal structures of the Qi and the Shen needs to be re-expressed as much has been lost with the passage of time. In my experience the subtle architecture of the energy channels is universal, and it’s imprint can be discovered within modern western anatomy and physiology. This architecture can also be traced within other knowledge systems and described relative to the chakras, the subtle bodies, psychology and many other fields of knowledge from many different cultures. These insights have come to me as a result of 28 years of Qigong practice, culminating in a series of revelations arising from the enquiry “of what am I made?” I believe that at this time there is a turning of the great Wheel of Dharma- the cycle of human evolution- which requires that we reinvigorate the ancient knowledge of acupuncture described by the seers of 2,500 years ago. Sacred acupuncture 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 as the Five Forces. These five forces also generate the biological guiding intelligences of the body design - the P'o or spirits of the five internal organ systems. 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. Healing Sacred Acupuncture is both a system of understanding and a system of healing.
