This seminar introduces both the theory and clinical application of the five sets of channels and vessels.
These sets of channels and vessels provide the conceptual foundation for Neijing (Inner Classic) style acupuncture. They offer a rich conceptual framework for clinicians to use in understanding both physiological and pathological processes. This one-day seminar introduces the basic model of individual life that was explored in the Neijing (Inner Classic) — jing-essence contains an individuated shen-spirit, and that shen-spirit animates jing-essence to disseminate and provide a dynamic foundation for the vital functions of life. While our personalities consider the symptoms and signs of disease to be afflictions, they are also the embodied spirit’s gestures to express its distress.
The acupuncture theory of Neijing is particularly focused on the development and evolution of pathology, rather than simply classifying the nature of manifest imbalances. Learning to work with the five systems of channels and vessels of Neijing gives clinicians new and powerful tools for treating their patients with challenging or persistent ailments. I’m committed to teaching the soul of Chinese medicine.
