David Twicken is a licensed acupuncturist and professor and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Qi Gong, feng shui and Chinese astrology. He has studied the Asian arts for 30 years. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
I Ching Acupuncture is a great read for acupuncture practitioners
with an understanding of the theories and philosophies that are
used in the art of TCM.

I am most delighted to welcome David Twicken's new book I Ching
Acupuncture - The Balance Method. This book lays a solid foundation
for understanding the background theories of acupuncture. The
simplicity and clarity of presenting a profound subject is truly
fantastic

I have followed David Twicken's work since 1998. He has authority
of lineage and direct knowledge, which brings clarity and accuracy.
This work is mature and it is my number one recommendation when
learners ask me what resources there are for I Ching theory as it
pertains to acupuncture.
*William R. Morris, PhD, President, AOMA Graduate School of
Integrative Medicine, Austin, Texas*
The most brilliant, concise, penetrating synthesis of Taoist cycles
ever done. Suddenly I Ching trigrams, ten-stem/twelve-branch
Chinese calendar, yin-yang, five-phase, twelve hour body-clock and
six channel medical theories all leap into sharp, unified focus.
More amazingly, Twicken turns theory into easily grasped 'how-to'
practice. Finally we have a clear map of Taoist body channels,
natural models of healing and life-balance that acupuncturists,
taiji and qigong players, energy healers, and feng shui and
astrology adepts cannot do without.

Tao books with Mantak Chia*
In Classical Chinese Medicine, the highest level doctors utilize
the Yijing to deepen their understanding of the medicine itself,
and to enhance their clinical results. In his book I Ching
Acupuncture - The Balance Method, David Twicken provides the
serious practitioner a method for far-reaching healing through the
guidance of the Yijing.

martial arts, and author of Vital Breath of the Dao, Seeking the
Spirit of the Book of Change and Chinese Shamanic Cosmic Orbit

There have been many books on the I Ching and Acupuncture, but
rarely with such clear integration of a deeper and thorough
understanding of this ancient philosophy and wisdom. David
Twicken's book has given the readers what we need to know, 'The
Balance Method' in learning and partaking in these treasures from
the sages of the old China.
*Master Chungliang Al Huang, founder of Living Tao Foundation and
author of Embrace Tiger, Return To Mountain, Essential Tai Ji,
Quantum Soup and The Chinese Book of Animal Powers*
Practitioners and enthusiasts of feng shui alike will discover
far-reaching new insights about its underpinning elements in this

complex theoretical information into easily read, practical
applications with clarity and simplicity... the information he
shares will be of direct value to feng shui practitioners... A
