Course Overview
This recorded webinar is the next best thing to spending time in the clinic with Professor Neil Gumenick. Videos of actual patients are presented prior to treatment. Next, Neil discusses his diagnostic findings: Causative Factor, physical, mental, and/or spiritual level of the disease; pulse diagnosis, and point selection, including explanations of the choice of points in the context of the Law of Five Elements; the pulse findings, the spiritual connotations of the points, the action performed on each point, and the rationale for the precise order is discussed. Post treatment videos follow, after which, Neil analyzes the changes in the patient, particularly from the viewpoint of the vocal sound and emotion. Neil will then share the post treatment pulse findings, and strategize the next several treatments, with full explanations of each point chosen. Different videos, patients, diagnoses, and treatment plans are presented in each session, offering a wide range of case studies, diagnoses, and strategies to be discussed and analyzed. Notes for download are provided.

I recommend Neil Gumenick's webinar For anyone who has studied the Five Elements or is currently using this technique in their practice. His explanations fill in spaces I did not know were there! The in-clinic interviews give you amazingly clear examples of how to be present to receive the Causative Factor clues necessary to serve people at the level of spirit as well as body and mind. Excellent value.

I attended a 5 Element school and this helped to deepen what I learned. It was wonderful to be able to be present in the treatment room. I also liked how Neil explained his point selection. I will be taking more of his classes! I've gained confidence in my ability as a 5 Element practitioner.
