Channel Theory Extra Meridians (may '25)

Yuan qi & the 8 Extraordinary Vessels

This course will focus on the 8 EV and their influence on the constitution and curriculum. We will look at how trauma or evolutionary stress impedes the flow in these vessels and obstructs our ability to pursue meaning and purpose in life. We will explore the cosmology of these vessels to gain an understanding of how humans are formed and how curriculum is gifted to us by our parents and the Heavenly Mandate. This is about the search for Self and our relationship to time and space.

Day 1 we will look at the general theory of these vessels in the morning and then investigate the first Ancestry (Chong Du & Ren)

Day 2 we will complete the remaining channels (Wei, Qiao & Dai) in the morning and in the afternoon, we will have a practical portion where we focus on locating and needling the master points to open each vessel. We will also learn pulses to identify the 8 EV and explore some breathing exercises to awaken these vessels.
