Clinical success in Traditional Chinese Medicine depends not just on intellectual understanding, but also on one's skills in communication, attitude, and compassion. Dr. Maoshing Ni discusses how to have connectedness with your patient through being present, mirroring, questioning, listening, and body language. Though you need to have skillfulness in knowledge, techniques, diagnosis and application, you also need to empower your patient. The mind and heart play a role in becoming a healer because you'll need to use intuition, be observant of and be able to calm your own mind, and be effective using inner visioning. Dr. Mao also discusses aspects of wellness medicine such as prevention, self-healing, the healing partnership, and East-West medical integration.
