In the third weekend you’ll be building upon all the skills you have learned so far, and you’ll start working with the Yin Tide and the Fluid Body as a means to access the deepest states of stillness and coherence, and as way to tap into profound self-regulatory mechanisms. As a means to work with the Fluid Body you will be presented with the Morphology of the Extraordinary Vessels and how to work with it in clinic.
Engaging Vitality Module 2
Intermediate Techniques in Qi Palpation in the Practice of Acupuncture
Clerkenwell Being on Gosling Road, London
2nd & 3rd February 2019
With Rayén Antón & Ferdinand Beck
In the second weekend additional palpation techniques are introduced which build upon the techniques from the first weekend. You’ll be presented with a global way of listening to the entire body in just a few seconds! This global assessement can quickly guide you to the problem area where you can apply your already learnt tools – Local Listening, Yang Rhythm listening, Manual Thermal Evaluation etc. You’ll also discover and learn how to determine whether a channel is actively involved in a problem area, and understand how it changes when the disturbance is resolved.
