Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Curious Meridians: 4-Part Webinar Series
Presented By
Butch Levy, MD
- REGISTER
Four 1-Hour Live Webcasts
Overview
Most practitioners have little knowledge of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. They are the reservoirs that can redistribute the Yuan or Source Qi. The Yuan Qi comes from the pre and postnatal Qi combined with Spleen Qi from Nourishment and Lung Qi from the air.
By understanding that this Qi essence can be redistributed to areas in need or diminished when it is excessive can help balance a patient’s energy, strengthen deficient systems or decrease excess energy.
Practitioners will be able to recognize if the Chong Mai / Yin Wei Mai Extra Vessels need balance, understand the correct needling techniques to create these effects and provide their patients a greater opportunity to reduce symptoms, improve energy and enhance the quality of their lives.
While this series was developed and intended for people to attend all sessions, you may choose to attend 1 or more as your schedule permits. A quick recap of the previous sessions will be included so each can be a stand-alone activity.
