The Beauty and Magic of the Acupuncture
Channel Interrelationships a two day Seminar at Five Branches University,
San Jose, California July 24 - 25 2010 16 Hours CEU's approved
To all non-acupuncturists, warning! this newsletter gets very acupuncture-technical. Please enjoy the crop circles anyway!
I am excited to present for you a study of the architecture behind the acupuncture channel system. This study affords us insight into numerous clinical strategies to improve acupuncture treatments.
In this seminar we will explore both the logic of the design of the acupuncture channel system and the resulting clinical strategies which are made evident. In this way the choice of needles reflects an attempt to harmonize between the pathology and imbalance of the patient's condition and the complex harmony of the channel system.
We will examine the following:
- The One energy behind all energy systems
- The Yin and Yang of channel distinctions
- Three Dan-Tian, Three Hun, Three embodiments of Consciousness
- The Four types of channel
- The Five Elements within the channels as related to:
- Inner pathways and divergent channels
- The Shu Transport points
- the element phases of the limbs
- Integrating treatment with Five Element phases on the Belly, Chest and Back.
- The Six phases, their architecture in mirroring and balancing systems:
- balancing within a phase e.g. 'Jue Yin-Jue Yin' Liver balances Pericardium
- balancing the Yin-Yang pair e.g. 'Shao-Yang -Jue Yin' Gallbladder balances Liver
- balancing according to the Bie Jing or 'fifth balancing cycle' e.g. 'Yang Ming - Jue Yin' Large Intestine balances Liver
