The web that has no Weaver



Its the start ! The beginning of the journey that I have had my heart set on for many years! Feel free to join me on my journey and learn a little bit about Chinese medicine along the way!
So finally I have a booklist and now a few books to read through before my start date on the 27th of this month!
So far my readings have told me this much.I am studying something that is congruent with my own beliefs!


In order to contract,
It is necessary to first to expand.
In order to weaken,
It is necessary first to strengthen.
In order to destroy,
It is first necessary to promote.
In order to grasp,
It is first necessary to give.

Chinese Medicine works very much on the theory of Yin and Yang. The harmonies of nature and those within ourselves.The inevitability of our lives.The darkness of night and the light of day.The patterns from birth to death.The patterns of the seasonal year. A pattern that operates within us and without and is seen in everything and will continue wether we like or not!Thus the web that has no weaver!

My first semester is very foundation based .I will have 7 subjects. Biology,Chemisry,Muscular Skeletal Anatomy,Chinese language,Point location,History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine and Philosophy of Chinese Medicine.
Sp far I have been very clever with my book searching and found my most important book on ebay.Paying a grand 100 dollars less than I should have!
The books being very specialised are expensive,there are some I need, some I can refer to and some I can paw over in the library.So with 3 weeks to go several books bought I am getting the old grey matter up and running!

I do have a concern though........I am wondering what my other college friends will think when I start humming twinkle twinkle little star in the middle of a chemistry lecture.

Dear Ms. Indigoweavergirl,

Please weave us a wee web of chinese medicine, im very curious! I was planning to do something similar with my studies... here we have a perfect forum for the beginnings of ideas, directions, essays even...?
