Distant Memories 
It was long ago, soon after the end of the Stone Age. I canremember the Court. Red and Yellow, the rugs laid over thestone. Gold; laughter; the drumbeat; and of course the gongthat was struck when matters of importance were about to beconducted. I can remember when it was asked of Qi Bo, Iam emperor, but the people are dying. Modern medicineand lifestyles are not working; in fact, they are killing people. Iwish to revive the medicine of long ago, when thin needleswere placed into the caves of the body, harmonizing theblood and qi, managing flow, and guarding the entrancesand exits. Please! You must unravel the mystery forhumankind once again. Transcend time and space andexplain to us how it works!”Qi Bo answered, “As an eternal student of Tao, I will deliver toyou, Huang Di, the principles and methods. You must keep tothe path and develop spiritually in order to properly handlesuch knowledge. To this ancient method of Acupuncture areNine Needles and Nine Techniques (9*9=81). These methodsare easy to discuss yet difficult to master. Wondrous are thefew who possess the unique skill. The average healer treatsthe physical body; the true Taoist healer treats the spiritualbody, using his or her own spirit to reveal the patient’s spirit andany evil influences at the front door before they havepenetrated into the body. Having a complete understandingof the cyclical rhythms of nature, the true Taoist healersactions are without hesitation.” (
