Course Description:

Eastern Medicine focuses on developing a holistic under-standing of the functional organization, interconnections, and most importantly, the relationship between the various energy systems. This will redefine the practical approach to therapy of all energy-based healthcare systems including BodyTalk.

The treatment and understanding of the bodymind through the energy systems has been practiced for centuries. It is currently enjoying a significant increase in popularity because of the way biophysics has redefined science in its understanding of how the body works.

There is, however, a significant weakness in this study. Once you start examining the systems you realize how fragmented the knowledge is.

For example, in Chinese Medicine you may learn that the term Qi refers to ‘life-force’ and then later study the Indian Systems and learn that the term Prana is referring to the same idea, or is it? And what about Kundilini, where does it fit into the mix? Similarly, you may learn about the meridians of Chinese acupuncture and then discover that Japanese acupuncture has a different viewpoint on how they operate. Or the fact that in Chinese Medicine there is a great deal of information on energy and blood (Stagnant Chi/blood) this information can be very useful when prescribing herbs but has little application within energy medicine.
