Classical Acupuncture is based on the teachings in the Classical texts of Chinese Medicine. Most of these texts were written between the the 6th century BC (the Warring States period) and the end of the Tang dynasty in the 10th century CE. Along with the Primary Meridians common to all acupuncture systems, a key feature of the Classical texts is the description and discussion of meridians called the Complement Channels.

In two separate seminars, Sean Tuten will explore the use of the Extraordinary and Luo vessels in a clinical setting. These are the foundation courses working in collaboration with Ann Cecil-Sterman’s future advanced courses.

Extraordinary Vessels: Constitution and Destiny (SYDNEY ONLY)

Extraordinary Vessels are the unconscious blueprint (Yuan Qi) from which the destiny is acted out through the consciousness (Ying Qi) of the Primary Channels. Using these vessels in treatment offers the possibility of profound personal transformation.

What You Will Explore

• The Extraordinary Vessels as the channels of survival and evolution, and why the Yuan level is the most appropriate level for treating genetic & hereditary disease, as well as threats to the Shen’s destiny.
• The development of the constitution in utero and strategies for addressing constitutional challenges.
• Important clinical relationships between Yuan, Ying and Wei Level disorders.
• The three ancestries of the Extraordinary Vessels as a blueprint for human development, physical and emotional maturation and survival.
• Specific symptom and pulse indications for each Extraordinary Vessel trajectory and the appropriate needling technique (including optimum point selection).
• The management of rebellious qi that develops from Extraordinary Vessel treatment
