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 Fire element and its Officials (organs and functions) with Professor Neil R. Gumenick. It begins with an introduction into the nature of Spirit and continues with descriptions of the element as a whole, the diagnostics, functions of the 4 Fire Officials, 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: Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium (aka Circulation/Sex or Heart Protector), and San Jiao (aka Three Heater).
