Reviews of this DVD:
In this totally practical and immediately useful DVD, Dr. Wei Liu provides a means for restoring intention (Li) to the practice of needling which focuses on the feedback loop created between the acupuncturist and the patient. In this loop, the achievement of DeQi revolves around tonifying and reducing techniques stressed in the Ling Shu but often ignored in western practice as many practititoners opt for neutral stimulation.
There is nothing neutral in Dr. Liu's masterful manipulation techniques. It is my hope that this DVD will spark a revival of interest in the science and the discipline of focused needling technique as a central factor in effective acupuncture treatment, both in the training of students and in their lifelong relationship with needles and fire.

Dr. Liu has opened a doorway to a dimension of acupuncture experience that few Western practitioners have had the opportunity to explore: the art of needle manipulation. This DVD is a powerful self-training tool that provides demonstrations of numerous techniques, both classical and modern, from the simplest to the most complex, all vividly demonstrated by a master practitioner.
