John Cross  FCSP Dr Ac Fellow of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, Doctor of Acupuncture (British College)  has been involved in both orthodox medicine (physiotherapy) and complementary medicine for over 40 years at the forefront of his clinical field and education. His orthodox medical background coupled with a comprehensive knowledge of complementary therapies designates his work as definitive, authoritative, practical teaching. As far as he is aware  no one else teaches the chakra energy system with bodywork or acupuncture in such a down to earth and comprehensive manner. He has attempted to take the mystique out of this esoteric energy system and has been called a ‘world authority’ by his peers.

The Lesser Major and Minor Chakras – The Hidden Gems of Energy Medicine –
How to use them with Acupressure and Reflexology

My latest offering concludes the set on the chakra energy system that began in 2006 with ‘Healing with the Chakra Energy System’ (North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, USA – 2006) in that it deals with the little known Lesser Major and Minor chakras. My work is all self-researched and based on interpretations of traditional writings. Due to my background as a chartered physiotherapist, I have always been of the persuasion that the touch therapies of acupressure and reflexology are just as effective as acupuncture. This system can use acupuncture but with six of the eight Lesser Major chakras located on the skull, it much easier to use the fingers and hands. Each of these energy centres is linked with a specific aspect of the central nervous system, as well as having many other correspondences and associations. I place emphasis on the body’s aura and its various subtle layers and compare each of the Major, Lesser Major and Minor Chakras – as well as the important Command Points used in acupuncture and how some are more ‘powerful’ than others by its influence in reaching different layers of the aura. The material in this book is new and not found anywhere else.

The final chapter is dedicated to reflexology, and this can be used as a ‘standalone’ for reflexologists who don’t wish to use ‘body’ acupressure and reflexology.  As you can see from the diagrams, pinpoint accuracy is required to affect and treat imbalance in each one. 

The book is available as a pdf through my web site or via Amazon as Kindle – both at £7.95. I hope to produce a paperback edition later in the year. 

The Holistic Spine – Book ONE consists of Two Parts: Part One – Anatomy Overview and the Cause of Spinal Conditions, Part Two – Energetic Considerations. It is 120 pages and contains scores of colour illustrations.
The Holistic Spine – Book TWO is the Sequel to Book One with sections on Practical Considerations of each Vertebra and Treatment of Spinal Conditions. As with Book One, it will teach the practical therapist how to use acupressure and reflexology to treat spinal conditions and to think ‘outside the box’ for inspiration.

His published works encompass the fields of Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reflextherapy and the Chakra Energy System plus three Clinical posters - 'Healing with the Chakra Energy System', 'The Holistic Spine' and 'Light Touch Reflextherapy' which are available to purchase from his website.

John's 3rd self-published book was Distance Analysis and Healing with the Chakra Energy System - My Way! What is Healing? What is Distance Analysis? What is Distance Healing? How can you possibly effect changes in the bodies and psyche of a fellow human by not even being in the same room, or even in the same country? All of these questions, and many more, are answered in this book by Dr John Cross.
