Which of the Classics do you find most relevant to your practice?
How did you come to this?
What sources and resources do you use to learn more about the Classics?
How do you study the Classics?
I'd love to hear what people have to say on this
Joe Mussia
great questions, Joe...
I have found that Shang Han Lun offers me great insights in formulas and the mechanisms of disease. My formulas have gotten smaller and more effective.
I would like to study Nei Jing more, but all of the translations...leave something to be desired...
how to study?
I study by studying...I keep reading and re-reading and when I see patients, I might remember this or that...then I go back and look that part over again...it's not easy to find good teaching programs.
I have been looking at the Shen Nong Ben Cao to get an idea on herbs that guided the thinking of the time...it is somewhat different than the "modern" view that we learn today.
