Manaka Made Simple: Manaka System Acupuncture Level 2

• Describe a four-channel set and test the effects of placing different polarities upstream and downstream on the channels

• Practise Manaka’s unique application of the polar channel pairs, using positive and negative polarities on the mother and child points as an alternative to the master–coupled points of the Eight Extras

• Confidently apply root and branch treatment with okyu, including Sawada’s Taiji protocol, and unlock more branch formulae from the Matsushima Kindle Single

• Calculate the open point and harness the power of Chinese biorhythms with the 24-hour, 10-day, and 60-day cycles to release pressure-pain reactions on the belly and resolve diagnostic stalemates in coexisting patterns

• Practise Manaka’s Step 4 use of phase points on the 24-hour cycle to bring relief to stubborn symptoms

• Work with Manaka’s wooden needle and hammer, and apply his remarkable concept of meridian frequencies from Step 1 to Step 4

• Perform five new Sotai exercises to adjust the body’s structure for Step 3—with and without okyu

• Learn to insert hinaishin intradermal needles, and compare the use of empishin, hinaishin, and ryu

• Apply each technique to the appropriate part of the body with confidence and clarity

• Use five channel stretches with moxa to release the neck and upper limb

This three-day course will reinforce the concepts of Level 1 and elevate your clinical skills, expanding your repertoire at every step. And with slightly extended days, there’ll be plenty of time for hands-on practice and review.
