Spirits of the Points: Advanced Lectures - Course 4
The Metal Element: Lung and Large Intestine Meridians
This session will cover the 3 levels of: physical, mental, and Spiritual and how to diagnose and treat. It will cover the Metal element in depth - Lung and Large Intestine, including the diagnostics, Spirits, meanings, and uses of the points.
Course Overview
The work of a truly wholistic practitioner is to address the needs of patients at all levels. The majority of patients, aside from their physical symptoms, are often also imbalanced at the levels of mind and Spirit. Every acupuncture point has a name, translated from the ancient Chinese characters, which suggests the mental and Spiritual connotations of the point. This knowledge is essential to reach the mental and Spiritual needs of patients.
This course is an in-depth exploration into the Metal element and its Officials (organs) with Professor Neil R. Gumenick. It begins with an explanation of the three levels of a human being: body, mind, and Spirit. Neil presents a historical perspective, explaining how the Spirit level has become the most challenged, damaged, and in need of treatment in our present culture. He explains why the vast majority of patients are primarily imbalanced at the Spirit level, regardless of the severity of their physical symptoms, and how only treating the physical level leaves out this most crucial part.
He discusses how we diagnose the most affected and damaged level in patients - mental or spiritual - and how we use this knowledge to choose the needed points for healing the whole person. The session continues with descriptions of the Metal element as a whole, the diagnostics, functions of the two Metal Officials, particularly as they manifest at the mental and Spirit levels, and in-depth descriptions of the Spirits, meanings, and uses of selected points on each meridian: Lung and Large Intestine.
