The Confluence of Nature and Nurture in Classical Chinese Medicine – Luo Vessels: Blood and Spirit (MELBOURNE ONLY) – Sean Tuten
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.
Luo Vessels (MELBOURNE ONLY)
Luo Vessels are repositories for unprocessed or overwhelming emotions imprinted on the blood. In this way, chronic, traumatic, or repetitive emotional injuries are stored outside of the primary channels (i.e. consciousness) until the body is ready to process and release the emotion. Thus the Luo vessels are considered essential in the treatment of mental health issues.
What You Will Explore
- The Longitudinal Luo Vessels act as the repositories of overwhelming emotional experiences.
- Transverse Luo Vessels act as a system of triage to protect Zang-Fu organs from damage.
- The trajectories, diagnosis, and treatment protocols for the Longitudinal and Transverse Luo Vessels
- Visual diagnosis of Luo Vessels
- Filling versus Emptying Luo Vessels, the clinical implications and treatment techniques.
- The most effective way to treat inflammation of the organs using Transverse Luo Vessels
- How environmental factors affect DNA and how to reverse environmental damage at the cellular level
Day 3 will involve live patients where participants will apply the theory and techniques learnt in this seminar, under the guidance of Sean Tuten.
