Energetic Architecture – Neoclassical Meridian Therapy. Part II & III

Front Organ Alarms

Today’s class begins with a brief review of the central themes of the first two days. We will also discuss how to close meridians so that the student can learn to avoid this common occurrence. We will then move on to an in depth look at Chinese cosmology and the organs important place in applying that cosmology to the human body. We will then proceed to an introduction to the organ alarms with emphasis on front alarms.

These alarms will a serve us greatly in the second portion of the course, as they will aid us in discovering the precise cause of an elemental imbalance. Though front alarms play a major role revealing the cause of elemental imbalance, they can also be used as a potent treatment in and of themselves. We will also be learning the correct location of the Yuan points and how to use them in a treatment which acts on the organ level.

Closing Meridians – How to close several meridians with 2 needles. Closing a meridian implies causing pain on a meridian which has no prior sensitivity. This method should never be used on real patients and should be used on study partners only if the Erasure method has been mastered. It is important the participants understand this technique so that they do not unknowingly use it on a patient.

Organ Alarms with Emphasis on Back Alarms/ Introduction to the Elements

Today we will have our first look at the back organ alarms. Like the front alarms, the back alarms will serve us greatly in the later in the course as they play a major role in revealing the precise cause of elemental imbalance. While the organ alarms will later be used primarily for a detailed elemental diagnosis, an effective technique for using the organs in their own right will be explored here.

Today continues with detailed background on how the elements began to take a central role in Neoclassical Acupuncture. By the end of the day, participants will be able to diagnose the element of predominance in seconds.

The Elements

After a brief review yesterdays material we continue with a look two of the most unique aspects of the system: the existence of a sixth element and an ancient mode of interaction between the elements quite different from the commonly accepted motors of generation and controlling. Today will include many demonstrations so that participants can see firsthand the results that one can expect with the system. At the conclusion of today’s class, we are finally able to perform a complete diagnosis and treatment of the system of elemental imbalance.

The Obstacles – Part I: “The Halves” and ‘The Eyes’

The student may have noticed that there a some cases (perhaps 30-40%) where symptoms were not completely relieved although the elemental imbalance was correctly addressed. This generally due to what we call Obstacles. These Obstacles are compared to dominoes in a line which refuse to fall, thus preventing the chain reaction in the falling of dominoes from the first to the last. When these Obstacles are addressed remaining symptoms generally disappear instantaneously. Today we will learn to diagnose and treat two categories of Obstacles: ‘The Halves’ and ‘The Eyes.’ These are very common Obstacles and are important to know how to diagnose and a treat if the practitioner is to be able to relieve 100% of symptoms in a majority of cases.

– Morning demonstration
– A look at the largest category of Obstacle: The Middles
– Earthquake’ and ‘Heavenquake’ : Two highly influential obstacles and their strange discovery
– The ‘Outer Walls’ and their relationship with Yin Qiao Mai, Yang Qiao Mai, and Yang Wei Mai
– The ‘Iron Beard’ and the ‘Iron Mustache’ – their diagnosis and treatment
– The ‘Iron Mustache’ and its role in false Ether
– The ‘half-moon.’ A common Obstacle which affects half of the body.
– Obstacle known as ‘The Eyes’
– The Ovary reflex
– The Testicle reflex

Obstacles Part II: Extra-Ordinary Meridians

Today we get a fresh look at the Extra-Ordinary meridians and learn how to diagnose and treat them with instantaneous results. This is a continuation and final presentation of the section of Obstacles.

– Review of ‘The Halves.’ (group of Obstacles)
– The ‘half-moon.’ A common Obstacle which affects half of the body.
– Darwinian evolution and the elements
– Introduction to the Extra-Ordinary Meridians (EOM)
– Palpation of the EOM and knowing precisely when they must be opened.
– Yin-Yang theory as applied to the EOM
– The secret to opening EOM by segment.
– A deeper look at Dai Mai and its four segments.
– A close look at Ren Mai
– Chong Mai and its oft related symptoms.
– Review complete protocol of elemental diagnosis, treatment, and removal of Obstacles.

Du Mai/Diagnosis without Back Alarms/Self Treatment/Neoclassical Auricular Acupuncture

Today we will begin with an examination of the final Extra-ordinary meridian (Du Mai), with an examination of its importance in the energetic and spiritual functioning of the body. As an example, we will be examining Hindu Mythology and its close connection to Ren and Du Mai.

We will then learn a novel technique whereby the practitioner can determine with 100% accuracy which relevant back alarms are active without having to actually check them. This algorithm works for all elements except for Ether. A simple alternative will be given for cases with Ether predominance.

We will also be exploring Neoclassical Auricular Acupuncture. Here the participants will learn a technique whereby the elements can be treated by the ear rather than the Yuan points.

Now that the practitioner can diagnose back alarms without the need to palpate we show techniques for self-therapy. Tips for palpation and needle insertions will be shown.

A review of the basic structure which underlies the entire Neoclassical System on all of its levels will be emphasized.

The rest of the time will be used in brief review with question and answer period.

Neoclassical Inversions

Though the Neoclassical approach to Meridian and Organ therapy generally removes symptoms without knowing them beforehand there are a few cases in which symptomatic complaints must be addressed directly. Today is largely dedicated to a novel method of addressing those symptoms with a technique known as ‘Inversions.’ Though this method has many applications from different systems, due to the fact that many participants have previously studied Tung style acupuncture, we will use 3-4 core Tung ‘recipes’ to invert- thus multiplying their usefulness far beyond that which is commonly known.
