This class is not sequential; as long as you have the FUNDAMENTAL Engaging Vitality training, you're welcome to come!
We know from the basic training that the Fluid Body and the Ba Mai share some characteristics. For instance, they organize themselves around a midline and they tend to layer themselves. These, and the palpatory training to be able to listen to the Fluid Body, are the starting points of the journey that takes us into engaging the Ba Mai in one of their most direct manifestations: The Morphology.
We’ll be exploring yet another form of palpation for the Ba Mai in this seminar: Developed after the Fluid Body palpation and making use of the palpatory skills acquired with the Engaging Vitality training, The Inherent Movement palpation is a complementary approach to directly engage the vessels by listening to their movement.
We can directly palpate or resonate with the inherent movements of the vessels; this offers another angle to approach them and another cross-referencing tool.
In this gathering we will explore both of these novel ways to directly contact the Ba Mai and will be cross referencing these with abdominal palpation and simplified forms of Ba Mai pulse diagnosis coming from Li Shi-zhen.
Topics covered
Revisiting the Fluid Body.
Revisiting pulse and abdominal diagnosis for the Ba Mai.
The Ba Mai as fields of influence. General indications. Trajectory and treatment holes.
The morphology, mapping the terrain.
Walking the path: practice session on the morphology. How it feels under our hands. How to work with it in clinic.
Inherent movement: generalities and conceptual frameworks.
Palpation and recognition: practice sessions to learn how to tune into the inherent movement of the vessels.
Putting it all together: practice sessions to cross reference the multiple ways of listening at the Ba Mai and work with it in clinic.
