Professor Neil R. Gumenick
M.Ac.,(UK), C.T.(A), L.Ac., Dipl.Ac.
Most practitioners recognize that there is much more to understanding and treating patients than categorizing them according to symptoms and syndromes. How, then, do you heal the emotions, mind, and spirit, as well as the body, with acupuncture? Knowing the "spirits of the points" avails you little unless you know exactly how and when to use them and how to conjoin them with the underlying imbalance.
Our teaching provides a theoretical and experiential bridge that connects the promise and the fulfillment of acupuncture's potential for integral healing.
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, in the Worsley tradition, is one of the most complete, comprehensive, and far-reaching systems of medicine in the world. There are no shortcuts or magic formulas. You will not be able to practice this system after one weekend, but you will...begin the journey. You will learn to develop and use rapport skills as powerful diagnostic tools, and you will come to understand and manage your patients in a whole new way.
The seminar will cover:
~ The mental & spiritual levels of the Five-Elements, Twelve Officials, & specific acupuncture points
~ Diagnosing the needs of the mind and spirit
~ How this system addresses physical pain and illness
~ Clinical interaction with patients
~ Rapport skills and patient management
~ Pulse diagnosis within the Classical Five-Element System
~ Detecting and resolving life-threatening energetic blocks
~ Treatment planning
Approved by the California Acupuncture Board for 15 CEUs and by the NCCAOM for 15 PDAs.
