grains removed from the plants

10th heavenly stem. Two plants (木) stacked on top of each other in a diagonal 乂 orientation (denoting regulation; on the lunisolar calendar the four diagonal nodes mark the intermediate times when the seasons begin/end, and correspond to earth). In this case, the 10th stem marks the end of the agricultural cycle.

About Ev

Universal Qi is a project by Dr. Evren “Ev” Juniper, Doctor of East Asian Medicine (DAcCHM, LAc). Ev’s work explores the relationship between embodied clinical experience and the scholarly study of early Chinese language and classical medical texts.

By pairing lived practice with careful study of the roots of the medicine, she seeks to clarify concepts that have often been mistranslated or misunderstood in modern interpretations. Her doctoral thesis, Embodied Universe, can be found on Academia.edu.

​Ev practices clinically at ECHO Acupuncture, in Gladstone, Oregon.
