Seminars and clinic hours in Santa Cruz

This is a weekend seminar about the esoteric anatomy of the human spine and each of the vertebrae.

This seminar is appropriate for any healer who wants to work more consciously with the spine,
including acupuncturists, Qigong practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths and bodyworkers.

The code of the spine is the evolutionary map represented in the spine and the para-spinal points. This map is the underlying system which gives rise to the TCM Back Shu point locations.

In this seminar we will explore:

The relationship of the sacrum and the lumbar spine to the Five Elements of Chinese medicine. Each of the sacral and lumbar vertebrae corresponds to a specific element.

The relationship of the thoracic spine to the six phases
(Tai Yang, Tai Yin etc)

The relationship of the cervical spine to the seven chakras
of the Indian Yoga system

The exiting cranial nerves and their relationship to the 12 earthly branches - cosmic energies of Chinese Taoist thought which move from Heaven to Earth.

The ancestor realm influences which move from the G. B. channel zone to the outer U.B. line

The Hun influences which move from the outer U.B. line to the inner U.B. line

The P'o influences which move from the inner U.B. line to the HuaTo JiaJi line

QI and Jing consolidation moving from the HuaTo JiaJi line to the Du channel and spinal cord

We will also examine the following 'laddering' of evolutionary influences which starts with embryological somite distinctions and is represented in the adult thus:

the cocccygeal segments representing the unicellular stage of consciousness and the fundamental bliss-consciousness of the body
the sacral vertebrae representing the insectoid stage of consciousness and the structural integrity of the physical body
the lumbar vertebrae representing the reptilian stages of consciousness and the five forces within the Qi body
the thoraccic vertebrae representing the mammalian stage of consciousness and the 12 personality distinctions of the human personality
the cervical vertebrae representing the seven developmental levels of the human Shen
the cranial plates of the skull representing the evolutionary encoding of the mind of God or 'higher' human consciousness

This picture is a link to a new talk about the Back-Shu Point system and the evolutionary energies of the spine. This is 70 minute talk which serves as an introduction to the workshop.
