Some of the gems that will be dusted off and polished up into clinically useful protocols.
1. The thirteen ghost points of Sun Simiao.
(The connection with acupuncture’s ancient Shamanistic origins.)
2. The sadly neglected Five Shen points (Po, Shen, Hun, Yi, and Zhi) on the outer Bladder Meridian.
3. Triple Heater and Circulation Sex. (A look at various names and myriad functions attributed to these concepts from both historic and modern commentators and their unique place in modern clinical practice).
4. The Six Curious (Extraordinary) Organs
(Highlighting and revealing their significance as a parallel system to the more well known Zang-Fu and their unique connections to the eight “influential” points.)
The above theories will be woven into multi-purpose treatment protocols which serve as a basis for a fresh look at treatment style and aims in Chinese Medicine.
The weekend as a whole is structured to provide several useful new tools for practitioners to apply ancient healing practices to complicated modern patients. Simultaneously this seminar will allow practitioners to deepen their original commitment to the vital currents of internal alchemy which shine so brightly from within our living tradition of healing.
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the locations and functions of Sun Simiao's ghost points and be able to apply both needle and digital stimulation.
2. Understand the meaning and energetics of the 5 Shen points, and how to utilize them in clinical practice.
3. Have a deeper understanding of theory and practical usage of “Triple Heater” and “Circulation Sex” meridians.
4. View the curious organs as a parallel system to the Zang-Fu, and how to incorporate with 8 influential points in treatment protocols.
5. Employ new practical tools based on Ancient Esoteric wisdom to treat difficult modern complaints.
