These "Channel Odes" are for memorizing Acupuncture Channel lines and point names. I compiled them here, with my novice translations of the Odes themselves, with point names' translations selected from a few different sources: Deadman, Cleaver, Ellis/ Boss, and Worsley. This is an ongoing work in progress, which will evolve and improve as my understanding of the points deepens over time, with increased clinical exposure, and dialogue. I hope that this is interesting/ helpful to you, and hope to hear your input/ insights!
(Note that the Google doc has better formatting than what Blogger let's me copy and paste. It's a 17 page document, which doesn't fully paste well, and I'm loathe to carefully reformat again, on Blogger.)
