Six Divisions and the Character Profile Evaluation: Tools to Enhance Your Practice of Chinese Medicine 
In this weekend seminar participants will learn to use one of Chinese Medicine’s most sophisticated and interesting assessment tools: the Character Assessment-40 (CE-40) written exam.

The CE-40 profile analysis matches Chinese Medicine’s meridian system with each of the eight categories described in the profile. An important principle in Chinese Medicine states that the spirit moves first, the mind follows and finally the Blood. T

The purpose of this seminar is to illuminate how this process works as it reveals the way in which your own intentions direct your Qi. It reveals how your own thoughts and emotions can contribute or de- tract from your physical health and it enables you to understand and become more fluent in your own creative process. For professionals the seminar can help you gain an important diagnostic tool for your clinical practice.

Named for its emphasis on the Six Division layering of external to internal, Cindy Banker will explain how the CE-40 exam provides a unique and comprehensive integration of all three of Chinese Medicine’s correlation paradigms: The Five Phases; Six Divisions and Eight Principles.

Cindy Banker studied this application of the Six Divisions directly from Yves Requena, M.D., when it was first introduced it in the U.S. during the mid 1980’s. She has been actively teaching professionals and using the system in her own clinical practice since that time. Over these many years of experience she has enhanced the original applications to refine a more subtle understanding and ability to work with its complexity of pattern differentiation. As a leading educator in the field of Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT), Cindy has taught many Six Division Seminars at AOBTA schools and conventions. As a result the Six Divisions model is not only considered an integral part of Five Element Shiatsu but a useful assessment tool for all Asian Bodywork Therapists.
