Classical Acupuncture Mentorship 2025
Online Classes
Purpose
The mentorship was first designed and presented in 2016 to introduce students and practitioners of acupuncture to the complement channel system of Chinese medicine.
The primary channels govern the present moment, from our consciousness and daily routines, to our respiration and heartbeat. The primary channels unfold as each day unfolds, with a balance of habituation and potential.
The complement channels govern, or more accurately ‘hold’, those experiences in life that are too overwhelming for primary channels to process in the moment. Things like abuse, shock, trauma, injuries, chemical & environmental exposure, microplastics, heavy metals, and retroviruses that the sinew and primary levels cannot manage in the moment are held in our vital substances (Jin, Xue, Ye, and Jing) by the luo vessels, divergent architecture, and extraordinary vessel reservoirs.
Acute, and acute flare-ups of, internal medicine conditions are often best treated with primary channel treatments. Chronic, metabolic, autoimmune, mental health and many other conditions are most effectively treated where they originate: the complement channels.
It is the goal of this course to
explore the potential manifestations of destiny and transformation within the greater channel system
clarify the physiological understanding of the body from classical Chinese perspectives
begin to integrate that depth of understanding into clinical practice.
