Course Overview

Part Two of this two-part series will discuss additional energetic blocks, or hindrances to successful treatment. The following is included: The Umbilical Pulse - its importance, symptoms indicating when testing would be appropriate, how to test for its centeredness, and the technique for resolving if found off-center. The Akabani Imbalance - its importance, when and how to test each meridian, how to correct using acupuncture points, how to re-test to determine if the correction was successful and, if not, what to do as a further protocol. The Entry/Exit block - the most common of all blocks - how it will prevent treatment from being effective, how to detect the block on the pulses, how to resolve with acupuncture, including point location and needle technique. The Spirit Level block - its presence, usually as a result of trauma, can substantially prevent treatment from being effective. Participants will learn how to detect this block and points to resolve it. Please note that Detecting and Removing Energetic Blocks - Course 1 is a prerequisite to this course.
