A look at the Lightbody, the interconnected field of physical, energetic and emotional systems that acupuncture, Chinese medicine and sound healing all engage with, each in its own way. Drawn from a live Q&A with Sonic Harmony Sound Healing, this piece covers group energy fields, altered states, trauma and dissociation, and what this work can honestly offer for addiction, and where its limits are.

Steven Booth's account of how a back injury at twenty, one that made stairs impossible, led him into a twenty-year career in Chinese medicine. This piece explores what actually happens in a treatment: the physiology of needling, the real history behind "Traditional" Chinese Medicine, pulse diagnosis, the five elements, and why a good treatment can open an altered state. This journal grew from a conversation with Jacob Gossel on his podcast, Awake Aware Alive.
