Course Description       

In this two day workshop we will explore through lecture, partner massage and treatment, group exercises and inner meditation, the energetic qualities and intelligence of the spine and the Shu point zones of the back. The back Shu-point system can be used both to diagnose and to treat the whole body.

Course Outcomes

After completing this seminar participants will be able to both diagnose and treat whole body imbalances by assessing and working on the spine and back Shu point zones. Participants will also gain tools to treat problems of the back and spine directly.

COURSE OUTLINE:

 

In this workshop we will explore:

• The ancestor influences which move from the G. B. channel zone to the outer U.B. line
• The Hun influences which move from the outer U.B. line to the inner U.B. line
• The P’o influences  which move from the inner U.B. line to the Hua-To Jia-Ji line
• QI and Jing consolidation moving from the Hua-To Jia-Ji line to the Du channel

 

This understanding presents a schema for connecting the intelligence of the organs back into the body.

 

We will also examine the horizontal ‘layering’ of influence which starts with embryological somite distinctions and is represented in the adult as the individual vertebrae and the exiting spinal nerves. We will explore:

• 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 pattern of imbalance
• the energetic code of each of the cervical vertebrae
• the energetic code of each of the thoracic vertebrae
• the energetic code of each of the lumbar vertebrae
• Working with the sacrum, the sacroiliac joints and the pelvis
• Working with the shoulder blades and shoulders
• Working with the cranium and skull
• Acupuncture techniques to work with the inner bladder line Shu points
• Acupuncture techniques to work with the outer bladder line
• Acupuncture techniques to work with the hua to Jia Ji line
• Acupuncture techniques to work with the Governor vessel and the vertebrae
• Acupuncture techniques to work with the G. B. channel zone
• Treatment strategies for the neck
• Treatment strategies for the lumbar spine
• Treatment strategies for the hips
• Treatment strategies for the thoracic spine region
