Series Overview

This series is designed to further the lifelong learner’s journey as they deepen their mastery of acupuncture point selections based on the profound information embedded in their classical names.

In Chinese medicine cosmology, there are generally considered to be three realms: Heaven Earth, and Humanity. Each of these realms comprises 4 organ networks. This series will review the Earth realm, consisting of the Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, and Spleen.

For each channel system, Heiner Fruehauf will analyze the original meaning of each point name in its multilayered complexity. The ancient acupuncture point names not only serve as mnemonic reminders about the location of each point, but also contain significant information revealing the unique energetic qualities and highly specific physiology and pathology of each point.

Each layer of meaning is teased out through multiple translations. Relevant clinical context will be provided by the presentation of case examples or experience based comments by senior acupuncturists Bob Quinn and Michael Berletich.

With this base of knowledge, participants can stand on firm ground while being flexible in their ability to select acupuncture points that can effectively treat the complex physical, mental/emotional and spiritual issues we encounter in our out-of-balance world.
