How things are connected, names of points etc.. knowledge that I took for granted but hadn't really deeply looked into. It was like listening to Eckart Tolle in Chinese Medicine terms.

Returning to the source of the medicine through even a basic understanding of certain character etymologies and Daoist philosophies is often a missing piece or weak point in practice, especially in the west. Peter begins to bridge this disconnect through potent information and imagery, helping to bring new life and a sense of purpose to the practice of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.</span><span class="name">Gavin L.</span><span class="country">Canada</span></p><p class="testimonialmobile"><span class="text">I found Peter Firebrace able to address the course information in a successful and sometime dramatic fashion which helped the attendee to grasp the knowledge with ease.
