Spirits of the Points: Advanced Lectures - Course 3
The Earth Element: Stomach and Spleen Meridians
This session will cover the Earth element in depth - Stomach and Spleen: the two Earth meridians, the diagnostics, Spirits, meanings, and uses of the points. This knowledge is essential in treatment of the mental and Spiritual levels in patients.
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 Earth element and its Officials (organs) with Professor Neil R. Gumenick.
It begins with an introduction of how the practitioner can enter into the state of internal emptiness and receptivity - to be fully present to the patient, and to perceive their needs at the levels of mind, emotion, and Spirit. This is essential in choosing the correct Spirit points for the patient. Neil will explain the roadblocks to entering this state and how to overcome them. As each patient is a unique individual, we do not treat any two patients the same, regardless of the similarities of their symptoms. With this as a foundation, the session continues with descriptions of the Earth element as a whole, the diagnostics of odor, color, sound, and emotion, the functions of the two Earth Officials (organs), 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: Stomach and Spleen.
