Course Overview
Our medicine expresses and unfolds through resonance and reflection as it is capable of attending to the changes and expression of complex interactive systems, like human beings within their environment.
Reading the pulse and investigating the abdomen are both tried and true methods that, for good reason, have come down to us over course of time.
In this 90 minute seminar we will explore how the Saam acupuncture organ pairs show up in Japanese style abdominal diagnosis, and how expressions of these imbalances are also reflected in the pulse.
You’ll be introduced to some fundamental ways of assessing the abdomen that will help you to understand how particular patterns of excess and deficiency will help with clarifying a Saam diagnosis. And you’ll be able to cross check your findings with what you discover in the pulse.

I was introduced to acupuncture in 1996 while undertaking studies in Korean language and culture in Seoul, South Korea. One acupuncture treatment with a few needles on the opposite leg of the knee that I had injured during martial arts practice took away my knee pain instantly and completely.
