The Code of the Spine
Exploring the Evolutionary Intelligence of the spine and the Back Shu-Point zones
 This is a 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 and the seven elements.
- 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
- 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
Other topics covered in this seminar:
- How to diagnose the health of the whole person based on imbalances in the paraspinal muscles relative to the Shu points
- Massage and palpation to identify the patterns of imbalance
- Qi diagnosis of the channels relative to the back Shu points
- Working with the sacrum, the sacroiliac joints and the pelvis
- Working with the shoulder blades and shoulders
- working with the neck and the skull
- Acupuncture techniques to work with the spine and the
back Shu points

How I Teach:
Seminars are divided between Qigong, lecture, guided meditation specific to the subject, demonstration of clinical applications and hands-on practice of clinical skills in a clinical setting.
I have found that this multi-sensorial and levels-of-consciousness approach is the best method of teaching the depth of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have noticed that learning Chinese medicine is a spiral process; you may pass by the same material many times, at each pass integrating more.
Notes and Audio recordings of the lectures will be available.
