Foreword. It is an honor and privilege to write the foreword for this book. I was first made aware of the existence of the chakras in relation to acupuncture at one of John's excellent seminars for physiotherapists. The challenges faced by practitioners to improve the efficacy of treatments and to explore the underlying reasons for successful outcomes are infinite. This book addresses the theory and practice of acupuncture and relates acupuncture points with the sites of the chakras, an important concept in Ayurvedic medicine. This in itself has been a breakthrough in finding the connection between two different traditional medicine concepts. John has further addressed this basic relationship to include a comprehensive system of diagnosis and treatment. This approach has influenced a great number of therapists, including myself, who have found their practice enhanced by using these techniques. This book does not offer a large reference of controlled trials; however, it gives the reader the opportunity to learn from John's vast clinical experience. The knowledge it contains is invaluable and demonstrates how the manipulation of subtle energies of the body can contribute toward successful treatments. John comprehensively writes of the many similarities and differences in chakra energy and acupuncture theory. In the following pages there is much to take "on board." The journey, though, will be very worthwhile.
