{"product_id":"9781590560921","title":"Five Spirits: Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological and Spiritual Healing","description":"The Five Spirits are the Taoist map of the human psyche. The system provides a mythical view of the nervous system and forms the  basis of Chinese medical psychology. It also describes a precise and efficient technology for spiritual transformation, the process  through which a human being rediscovers their essential wholeness and innate connection to the divine. \u003cp\u003e    The Five Spirits can be understood as the Taoist version of the Chakra System of Vedic India. Like the chakras, the spirits exist as  centers of consciousness in the subtle body rather than as structures in the physical body. Just as each chakra relates to a  particular level of consciousness, each spirit relates to a particular aspect of human awareness, a particular vibration or  frequency of psychic energy. An understanding of the Five Spirits is the key that opens the doorway to the mysteries of Taoist  psycho-spiritual alchemy. By taking advantage of the discoveries of Western archetypal psychology and new discoveries about the mind  and nervous system, we can decipher the Five Spirits and reorganize the system in a way that has proven to be clinically invaluable  in treating psychosomatic, emotional, and psychospiritual distress.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rudolf Steiner Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055675031792,"sku":"9781590560921","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590560921_p0.jpg?v=1763803947","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590560921","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
