In our last conversation with Poney, we talked about the neurological view of acupuncture points. In this Part Two
conversation we’re exploring what got Poney interested in medicine in the first place and how he ended up
becoming an acupuncturist when his first interest was in herbs, philosophy and metaphysics.
In this conversation we talk about the deep structure of Chinese medicine, kung fu movies, the Yi Jing, feng shui
and how life takes unexpected turns. Poney also shares how Chinese medicine allowed him to grow as a person and
how it helped him do things he never thought would be doing.
