Spirits of the Points: Advanced Lectures - Course 6
The Wood Element: Gall Bladder and Liver meridians
The session will cover the essential skill of rapport and how it leads us to a patient's real and deepest needs. It will cover the Wood Element in depth - Gall Bladder and Liver, 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 Wood element and its Officials (organs) with Professor Neil R. Gumenick. It begins with an explanation of the critical skills of practitioner/patient rapport, how to achieve it, and how it can lead us to the real and deepest needs of the patient, particularly at the levels and mind and Spirit. Neil will cover the real meanings of "no judgment", compassion, and the significance of symptoms in a truly holistic context.
The session continues with descriptions of the Wood element as a whole, the diagnostics, functions of the two Wood Officials, particularly as they manifest at the mental and Spirit levels, and in-depth descriptions of the names, Spirits, meanings, and uses of selected points on each meridian: Gall Bladder and Liver.
