Descrição

Most of us have only learnt the description of the basic 28 Pulse Qualities without realizing the Nan Jing gives a very different approach to determine the nature of the 5 Phase relationships.

In this course, Paul Movsessian will examine how to apply this to treating the channels.

Themes and Topics will include:

(1) History, Origin, and Development of Meridian Therapy (Keiraku Chiryo);
(2) Purpose of Treatment with Meridian Therapy;
(3) Study of LingShu 1 & Nan Jing 69;
(4) Sho (Presenting Pattern) & Akashi (Constitutional) determination;
(5) Meridian Therapy Primary Patterns & Secondary Patterns;
(6) Five Phase/Element Theory;
(7) The Four Diagnoses – Looking, Touching, Listening/Smelling, and Questioning assessment;
(8) Abdominal (Hara) & Channel assessment;
(9) Finding the Middle Pulse – the Stomach Qi Pulse, the Yin Level and the Yang Level;
(10) Six Position Comparative Pulse Method from Nan Jing 18;
(11) Clarifying a difficult Pulse and a difficult Sho;
(12) Generative and Controlling cycles;
(13) The Nine Classical Needles;
(14) How the Practitioner feels the Arrival of Qi;
(15) Specialized non-insertion tools of the Teishin and Enshin;
(16) Point Selection Theory and the Alive Point;

You will come away from this course knowing how to select the Sho Pattern based on Five Phase theory and Pulse assessment. You will also have a clear introduction to the Kozato Method – a group study method used to improve ones protocol of using Teishin and Enshin, point location and pulse evaluations. Finally, you will gain clarity on Shisei – proper posture for optimal non-insertion needling; Oshide and Sashide – training point location hand and needling hand; Live point location – this differs from the anatomical locations.
