. . . chiropractor and acupuncturist Dr. Steven Schram attended a Manhattan seminar hosted by Soho Herbs and Acupuncture on "treating psycho-emotional disorders with traditional Chinese acupuncture."(The paper version also has diagrams.)
". . . we're getting to the point that runs up the spine and goes over the head," Schram said. "When Sinonneau reached this point, I sort of realized that that's exactly where the tefillin knot is placed. I pretty much had an 'Aha!' moment." The diagrammed, footnoted version of that "Aha!" can be found in the October issue of the Journal of Chinese Medicine. Schram's article, "Tefillin: An Ancient Acupuncture Point Prescription for Mental Clarity," posits that when worn properly, the leather straps of phylacteries, or tefillin, stimulate acupuncture points associated with improved concentration.
Something tells me this guy will be leading a workshop at Elat Chayyim this summer. . . .
