In Module 3, Jack will show how these diagnostic aids can deepen our understanding, improve our ability, and assess the body's fluids.
In Modules 1 and 2, participants learn to practice assessing the qi by assessing diagnostic changes in the body's motions, rhythms, discrete temperature changes, and areas of restriction. These EV methods are the diagnostic assessments of this palpatory approach.

This class is not sequential.
In this three-day class we will go over the living anatomy of the most important viscera, learn palpatory techniques to listen to them, and go over ways to integrate this information into clinical practice.
Instructors: Dan Bensky
Days of training: 3
PREREQUISITES: EV Modules 1, 2 & 3
This class is not sequential.
In this class you'll learn to feel the restrictions and pathological patterns affecting the cranium. You'll start working with areas of interface, the sutures. You'll explore how to use this information in clinical practice, and to reboot the system.
Instructors: Dan Bensky

In the first two weekends of this introductory course, participants will learn to practice assessing the qi by listening to changes in the body’s motions, rhythms, discrete temperature changes, and areas of restriction. The third weekend is intended as a time to consolidate this basic skill set into a form that you can bring with you into your practice, no matter the current style of your practice. Each weekend is a prerequisite for the next.

Expanding the palpatory experience in the practice of East Asian Medicine.
This will be an introduction to and exploration of the basic tenets, mindset, and techniques of Engaging Vitality (EV) as an approach to refining and expanding our palpatory awareness in clinical practice.
This course will take place over 3 weekends. In each of the first 2 weekends participants will learn to practice assessing the qi by listening to changes in the body’s motions, rhythms, discrete temperature changes, and areas of restriction. We will introduce a few new palpatory techniques each weekend, and spend a lot of hands-on time practicing. Class size will be limited to allow for plenty of supervision, help and clarification. Each weekend is a prerequisite for the next, as we will be building on skills already learned, putting them all together, and learning to integrate these skills into your clinical practice. The third weekend is intended as a time to consolidate this basic skill set into a form that you can bring with you into your practice, no matter the current style of your practice.

Shape of Qi: Direct palpatory experience of Qi. Learn to listen to and facilitate the state of dynamic stillness, where the natural healing capacities take charge. This is the first gateway that will lead you out of your head and into your hands.
Yang Rhythm: Palpatory experience of the yang qi in the body; the yang qi manifesting in various body parts. Use as feedback for effective needling. Effective measure to prevent overdose.
Local Listening: Learn to feel the place(s) where Qi is not open, local restrictions that everything (muscles, fascia, acupuncture channels) organizes around.
Qi Signal Assessment: Useful for identifying areas where the qi dynamic is not open/communicating with the rest of the system, areas of bu tong. Used over the 3 Jiao to identify systemic issues, and also a key skill in identifying and accurately locating active acupuncture points.
Shape of Qi Needling: Introduction to a way of needling consistent with the state of Qi we’re trying to facilitate. Helps us (and the patient) get the most out of each needle insertion.
Channel Listening: Learn to feel the channels as a whole, start exploring their qualities and the experience of openness or blockage tong. Channel Listening as a tool to feel the connection between a local listening and a singular channel.
Global Listening: After being exposed to Local Listening, we now learn to feel the least open place from a global perspective. A quick way to get you to the least open place where you can start the conversation with your patient’s system in the present moment.
