Course Overview
In this abbreviated introductory course, students will expand their knowledge and application of the Balance System and discuss Seasonal and annual problems, and Four-Section timing. This is an advanced method of point selection based on the rhythms of nature, the Yi Jing/I Ching and channel theory. Students will expand their understanding of the Yi Jing/I Ching and discuss how we can create a balance in the seasons by using the hexagram of the current season to balance the hexagram associated with an affected channel in order to treat a variety of internal and external disorders. Particular attention will be paid to disorders that are caused or exacerbated by seasonal changes such as allergies, joint pain, muscle aches and certain types of depression. Students will be able to formulate safe and effective therapeutic plans incorporating Balance System Acupuncture.
Participants will be able to apply the concepts immediately in practice and develop effective treatments. The Balance System Acupuncture as taught by Dr. Sonia F. Tan is based on the culmination of her education, research and experience with various teachers including the late Dr. Richard Tehfu Tan, Master Joseph Yu, Dr. Daoshing Ni, Dr. Yvonne Farrell and Master Jeffrey Yuen.
