Who am I in the Universe

— A discussion of the interplay of a person’s Ming with the Universal Qi flow of the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and the Five Spirit Animals —

When looking at a person’s interaction with the universal qi flow, there exists a triad of factors: A person’s constitution (i.e., their elemental makeup, their Ming/destiny, their genetic disposition), the universal energy flow (i.e., the heavenly stems/earthly branches and the five spirit animals), and a person’s pathology patterns (i.e., past physical and/or emotional trauma, genetic imbalances, poor lifestyle choices).

The webinar is fully recorded, lasts a total of 12 hours and 48 minutes (2 days) and can be followed at your own pace. There are 2 quizzes to be completed at the end of each 6 hour 24 minute webinar day. The days on which the quizzes are completed count for the professional associations as days on which you followed the webinar, if you completed the quizzes with a pass.

Looking in the Universal Mirror - Embodying our Authentic Self

The face is a blueprint of the soul. Each feature, color, and marking hold significant information about a person’s health, personality, and destiny. The two sides of the face reflect very different aspects of a person’s being: the right side is what someone is projecting to the world – what they want people to think of them – whereas the left side represents a person’s true nature. Many times, these two sides are different based on colors, lines, and the shape of features.

In this course you will learn where these differences come from.

Unified Acupuncture Theory – Foundations

— Meridian Interactions for treating pain and other local problems —

Unified Acupuncture Theory (UAT) is a method for understanding the mechanisms of how acupuncture works. The UAT model is a tool that explains the underlying principles of meridian systems and interactions and it is used as the framework for all treatment possibilities. Coming from an integrative mindset, UAT facilitates an inter-disciplinary approach to acupuncture.

Facing your true personality - Exploring the Connections Between Face, Body and Five Elements

During this fascinating course, you will gain a better understanding of the beautiful complexities of Wu Xing (the five elements) in Chinese medicine, and how to treat related imbalances with acupuncture.

For each element you will get to know the Qi movements and the emotional frequencies to which they are connected, as well as the Yin-Yang nature of the five personality constitutions within each of the five elements (25 personalities).

You will learn how each personality affects facial expressions and posture, and you will learn how to use the original nature of classical acupuncture point combinations to treat imbalances between the 5 elements.

In addition to analyzing the 5 elements, treatments with needle techniques will also be demonstrated during the course.

All element theories, facial and body diagnosis, chosen point combinations, and needling techniques are taught according to the Chinese Classics ‘Huang Di Nei Jing’ (Yellow emperor’s Inner Canon), ‘Nan Jing’ (Classic of Difficulties), and ‘Jia Yi Jing’ (The systematic classic of acupuncture and moxa).

Kinesiology and acupuncture of the emotion

The muscle test as we know it in applied kinesiology is an excellent tool for TCM'ers to systematically analyze complex problems via the signals that the body gives itself and to trace them back to their origin. In this 4-day course, all aspects of this fascinating method are discussed and there is ample attention for its application in practice.

The response to the course in 2022 was very positive:

• "I've taken muscle testing courses before, but this was the first time it was explained so to the point. I now really feel like I know what I'm doing."
• "I tried it right away at home and the result was astonishingly accurate!"
• "It's not easy to understand at first and even a bit confusing, but the second weekend everything fell into place and I'm confident that I can put it to good use in my practice."
• "The best course I took in the last 20 years."

Understanding the Shang Han Lun – It’s all about finding the right qi

The Shang Han Lun is one of the oldest clinical textbooks in the world, written by Zhang Ji at the end of the second Han dynasty (25–220 AD). One of the fundamental principles of the Shang Han Lun is the idea that all diseases have their root in yin and yang, the two forces in the universe. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. But when they are out of balance, disease can occur.

Healing Wisdom: Five Element Acupuncture for Treating Traumatic Stress

As we all know, Chinese Medicine, including the Five Element theory and acupuncture, views the mind, body, emotions, and spirit as interconnected aspects of an individual's well-being. This aligns with the holistic perspectives of today’s biomedical science, which consider the interplay between psychological, emotional, and physiological factors in understanding human health. It recognizes more and more that the main factor for most health problems and diseases such as chronic pain, heart diseases, diabetes, insomnia, cancer, metabolic and autoimmune disturbance, digestive disorders, cognition, and emotional challenges is rooted in traumatic stress, either from childhood or a later stage in life.
