Cultivating the Thirteen Ghost Points

Leta and Jaye's latest book-written with clarity and their inimitable open-hearted warmth-offers their unique take on Sun Si Miao's marvelous ghost points. Bringing together many aspects of their training, this book leads beyond clinical practice toward the use of this famous point set as stepping stars for self-cultivation. A delight to read! -- Ann Cecil-Sterman, author of Advanced Acupuncture, Tongue Diagnosis, and The Art of Pulse Diagnosis No matter where we are in the world, where we are in time, or where we are in our lives, the promise of Alchemy is that absolute freedom is the true inherent nature of each one of us. From all I have witnessed, Leta and Jaye's apparent mission in this life is the teaching of this ancient possibility to the modern world. In their latest book, Leta and Jaye show us that the Thirteen Ghost Points of old are as relevant now as they ever were. They demonstrate that what appears to hold us back from what we truly want to be is exactly the material from which we fashion both the Alchemical cauldron and the Alchemical fire for our own transformation. This book is a wise and experienced instruction on the modern Alchemical practice of the Ghost Points, but more than that, this book is, in fact, a transmission of the possibility of true freedom. - -- Leora Esterra, MD, MAc, DiplAc Herman and McElroy's book will be a seminal classic for acupuncture students in their last year of training: required reading in advanced acupuncture point selection classes... so poignant and true that in places it made me weep. --Mary Friedman Ryan, PhD, author of Healing Anxiety: A Tibetan Medicine Guide to Healing Anxiety, Stress, and PTSD
