EXTRAORDINARY VESSELS and the CURIOUS ORGANS:
Correspondences and Implications for Treatment
Extraordinary Vessels Sunday Series with Barbara Blanchard
Sunday, January 14, 2018
9:30-5:30 p.m.
Acupuncture theory studies Qi through meridians and organs. The traditional yin and yang organs are known as the Zang Fu. There are six additional organs known as the Curious Organs or Extraordinary Fu. This workshop continues the series of Extra Vessel Esoteric Acupressure workshops taught by Barbara Blanchard. It will introduce the significance of the Extraordinary Fu, their energetic functions and pairings with the Extra Vessels. Previous knowledge of the Extra Vessels will be helpful as a brief overview will be presented. Emphasis will be on the Extraordinary Fu and how to focus on them within treatment. Hands-on practice will include an Acupressure treatment for one of the Extraordinary Fu with an Extraordinary Vessel.
This course covers the following:
- The six Curious Organs and their energetic functions
- The correspondences between the Extraordinary Fu and the Extraordinary Vessels
- Hands-on practice of one Esoteric Acupressure Sequence that pairs one of the Extraordinary Fu with an Extraordinary Vessel
Teacher Note: As this is the second part in the series program participants must have prior knowledge of the Extraordinary Vessels, or come having learned their pathways and primary access points. Students of Chinese medical theory welcome.
