This seminar is focused on exploring the Extraordinary Vessels and their impact on behaviour. From a viewpoint of Chinese medicine and through the lens of the Extraordinary Vessels, the course focuses on early life familial and relational conditions such as abuse and trauma and how these overwhelming experiences affect our behavior and mental health states as we evolve. We look at the 3 trimesters as seen from a Daoist perspective and the impact of the in-utero phase on both the parents and the child and consequently the child’s development and the relationship dynamics of the family.
We integrate knowledge of the 8 Extraordinary Vessel as seen from a classical Chinese medicine viewpoint and also an integrative approach, taking into account concepts of human behavior, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and quantum physics. This course integrates teachings by Li Shi Zhen, the Nanjing, the Systematic Classic of Acupuncture & Moxibustion as well as teachings from Jeffrey Yuen.
In these two days, we explore the power of using the 8 Extraordinary Channels to dramatically shift an individual from acquired conditioning and stagnation to long-term sustainable emotional and spiritual breakthroughs and health.
