Pulse Taking and Classical Non-Insertion Tools
by Paul Movsessian
Most of us have only learnt the description of the basic 28 Pulse Qualities without realizing the Nan Jing gives a very different approach to determine the nature of the 5 Phase relationships. We will study how to apply this to treating the channels.
Pulse Taking and Classical Non-Insertion Tools
Course Overview
Most of us have only learnt the description of the basic 28 Pulse Qualities without realizing the Nan Jing gives a very different approach to determine the nature of the 5 Phase relationships.In this course, Paul Movsessian will examine how to apply this to treating the channels.
Themes and Topics will include:
(1) History, Origin, and Development of Meridian Therapy (Keiraku Chiryo);
(2) Purpose of Treatment with Meridian Therapy;
(3) Study of LingShu 1 & Nan Jing 69;
(4) Sho (Presenting Pattern) & Akashi (Constitutional) determination;
(5) Meridian Therapy Primary Patterns & Secondary Patterns;
(6) Five Phase/Element Theory;
(7) The Four Diagnoses - Looking, Touching, Listening/Smelling, and Questioning assessment;
(8) Abdominal (Hara) & Channel assessment;
(9) Finding the Middle Pulse - the Stomach Qi Pulse, the Yin Level and the Yang Level;
(10) Six Position Comparative Pulse Method from Nan Jing 18;
(11) Clarifying a difficult Pulse and a difficult Sho;
(12) Generative and Controlling cycles;
(13) The Nine Classical Needles;
(14) How the Practitioner feels the Arrival of Qi;
(15) Specialized non-insertion tools of the Teishin and Enshin;
(16) Point Selection Theory and the Alive Point;
(17) Supplementation and Drainage Methods;
(18) Selection of Side of Treatment.
You will come away from this course knowing how to select the Sho Pattern based on Five Phase theory and Pulse assessment. You will also have a clear introduction to the Kozato Method - a group study method used to improve ones protocol of using Teishin and Enshin, point location and pulse evaluations. Finally, you will gain clarity on Shisei - proper posture for optimal non-insertion needling; Oshide and Sashide - training point location hand and needling hand; Live point location - this differs from the anatomical locations.
