This captivating book by Lorie Dechar delves into the intricate world of acupuncture, blending traditional Taoist and Chinese texts with the author's background in psychology and psychotherapy. Through her profound insights, Dechar demonstrates how practitioners can harness the essence of acupuncture points in modern practice.

The concept of "kigo," a Japanese word meaning "season word," plays a central role in understanding the seasonal energy of these points and how they connect with the universal flow. By embracing the spirit of the acupuncture points, practitioners gain a heightened focus and potency in their needlework, enabling them to not only address the physical body but also tap into the soul and spirit of their patients.

Kigo weaves a profound macrocosmic connection between the body and the universe, infusing acupuncture with a poetic resonance that amplifies and deepens its effects. It serves as a valuable companion for acupuncturists, chiropractors, psychotherapists, doctors, nurses, and other practitioners who incorporate acupuncture points into their clinical work. By integrating the wisdom of traditional texts with the author's psychological expertise, Kigo offers a holistic and comprehensive approach to healing, promoting balance and well-being on all levels.
