“In this seminar we will examine the following Five Element zones in the body and their relevance to acupuncture, acupressure, and medical qigong treatment:

 

The Five Element horizontal zones of the arms and legs:  how and where they intersect the regular vertical channels, how they potentiate effects in zones across multiple channels, and how they form zones of trigger point activity.

The Five Element process expressed in the sacrum and the lumbar vertebrae, and their corresponding Back Shu points.

The Six Phase process expressed of the 12 thoracic vertebrae, their elements, and their corresponding Back Shu points.

The Motility ordering of Six elements expressed in the structure of the chest and the 12 ribs.

The element ordering of the points of the Ren Mai on the belly and the element zones of the belly.

Seven Elements / Chakras in the cervical spine and the Nei Jing seven-step spiraling of Window of Heaven points up the neck

Anyone passionate about the ancient paradigm of the Five Elements and how it expresses in the human energetic matrix.
