Trauma
The Diagnostic Truth Lies in the Uninterrupted Story of the Patient
with Martha Lucas
Recording
from May 8, 2020
Overview
Elements of old trauma can be relived with sensory and emotional intensity. Even so, the patients often do not have a clear recollection or precise memory about what happened. But their body does. Energetic patterns set up in the body can “run” the system. Once you discover the patterns, they can be unraveled with acupuncture.

How the Classical Chinese View on Emotions Can Help Us Today

How the Classical Chinese View on Emotions Can Help Us Today
with Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée
Recording
from April 13, 2020
Overview
As human beings, we cannot be without emotions. At the same time, emotions disturb us to the point that we act no more with reason or intelligence. When a situation triggers an emotion, it is usually an important matter needing an accurate reaction, true to life; and it is precisely that what the emotions prevent us to do. The classical Chinese medicine’s approach of emotions, specially agitation and anxiety, exposes what happens inside ourselves, in our heart-mind, as well as in our blood and qi, our organs, and gives leads to regulate ourselves and to come back to a more balanced assessment of the situation and efficient action.

Overview
Practitioners of TCM/TCVM have often noticed that there is a supportive effect with acupuncture and herbal medicine that helps to provide our patients with more physical energy. Why this happens has only been able to be described on a TCM theory level. Current research shows that from a cellular aspect, the function of the mitochondria supports the organism in a manner very much like how the function of Qi is described in the classics. In this presentation, we examine mitochondrial function as an aspect of Qi and consider the links between how Qi has been described historically, and how we know the mitochondria work today. Then, we look at the effects of acupuncture and TCM herbal medicine on the function of the mitochondria. We examine some of the current experimental evidence and design that brings to light the effect of acupuncture and herbal medicine on cellular energetics at a mitochondrial level. Information provided in these lectures can help practitioners build a bridge of communication between the conventionally trained healthcare practitioners and those of us who practice TCM/TCVM.
Learning Objectives
- Be able to speak about evidence from scientific research that links mitochondria and TCM.
- Learn the function of mitochondria and how they can be understood as a potential aspect of Qi.
- Learn how TCM/TCVM modalities support the mitochondria.

Overview
Sex has long been used as a healing tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The erotic healing arts practices are older than acupuncture and, though little known by the Western world, are still in use today. Sexual expression, when done with a proper understanding of how energy moves, can enhance and quicken healing. Sex, even “great sex”, practiced without TCM healing techniques, can decrease health and make your process of getting well longer and more difficult. It can even interfere with the treatments that your acupuncturist is giving you, resulting in less improvement per session.
In this 1 hour class, Dr. Felice Dunas will show you how, according to TCM theory, sex can support or inhibit health and healing. She will introduce simple practices that will enhance your pleasure while improving your health. Optimize your healing, no matter the nature of your illness or injury, with energy, or Qi (pronounced “chi”) cultivating sexual activities.
Learning Objectives
- To present the correlation between sex and health/disease according to TCM theory
- To introduce the sexual healing arts practices of TCM.
- To provide conversational tools for discussing this sensitive subject with patients.
- To give practical and theoretical info on how sex augments or detracts from the benefits of TCM treatment depending upon how it is practiced

Why would a practitioner benefit from learning the Heart Lock Theory?
Our experiences are stored in our memories and reflexively in our bodies. Since the heart is the fulcrum of the energy flow through the body, it is easy to understand that experiences and events have a subtle effect on the way our hearts beat. The Heart Lock Theory can pinpoint the times in our life when we have suffered lasting damage, and provide clues to how these events are affecting our lives today.
The Phytobiophysics Heart Lock Theory is a form of heart reflexology and is quite simply one of the most efficient methods of diagnosis. The theory is simple, and yet extremely profound. It quickly and clearly enables the practitioner to understand the complex chain of events in a patient’s life, which conspire to make them ill. The theory offers the ability to create a map, presenting a time frame of who, how, what, and when the patient has been damaged and an ability to track back to discover the origin of their disease. This knowledge enables you to help your patient recover from even some of the most serious conditions.
Learning Objectives
- The student will review cases and treatment protocols using flower formulas
- The student will learn about the planes of consciousness
- The student will learn about the Heart Lock Theory
- The student will learn the Heart Lock muscle test

Overview
This course is comprised of two lectures presented by Holly Guzman at COMS 2014. The first lecture titled BLOOD is 1 hour long, and the 2nd lecture is titled Blood, Luo and the Clock of Life, and is 3 hours long. See below for specific outlines for each lecture.
BLOOD
Blood and Qi are a pair and a continuum in Chinese medicine. Qi is the more popular subject: getting Qi, moving Qi, energy work, etc. Blood is of equal importance. The tradition of Chinese Medicine obviously does not define Blood the way that we interpret the western word. This lecture covers definitions and significant aspects of Blood from diverse perspectives. Blood work is key work for physical and emotional comfort, trauma resolution, memory (wanted and unwanted), and more. Why is it often difficult to build blood in blood deficient patterns when the person takes lots of blood herbs? This inquiry and others about the concepts of blood are presented. Holly's lectures are always based around applications for clinical success.
Blood, Luo and the Clock of Life
The Luo meridians are blood vessels, and carry all the complex components of blood. The classical indications for usage of the Luo is arranged to reflect the sequence of the Chinese Clock. The Chinese Clock is a reflection of both 24 hours, and also the progression of our consciousness in our lives. This begins with the first moment of breath into the lungs, and ends with the last moment of our life, when the liver meridian goes to GV 20, and carries the evolved hun spirit out the top of the head. Blood and the Luo meridians are more readily understood when their classical indications are clearly put into this perspective. The afternoon workshop will present each Luo meridian in a user friendly way. It will re-teach the art of the plum blossom needle, bleeding, gua sha and tonification. Treating Blood is a practical approach to resolve physical trauma (a stuck blood imprint), emotional trauma (as can lead to stuck blood), and simply to promote the capacity to move smoothly through the phases of our lives.
Learning Objectives
- Learn an application of the Lou vessels connections to the Chinese Clock of time, both daily time and life span time.
- Gain a deeper understanding of Chinese Medicine’s concept of Blood.
- Learn when to move Blood, how to nourish Blood, and why to use bleeding.
- Learn a protocol for bleeding the Lou vessels to treat deep emotional pain.
- Acquire knowledge on the Luo Meridians relationship to Blood.

Overview
Problems of love and relationship may reflect the strength and movement of the body’s energy, and may not be rooted in psychology or how happy a childhood someone had. Did you know that romantic attraction, and the relationship that follows, especially if ignited for someone who is, ultimately, a bad match, can be a sign of poor energetic health, just like headaches, back pain or asthma, and can be treated by acupuncture? Knowing how attraction and relationship patterns affect one's strength and energy, and having the support of acupuncture, can speed up healthful changes in the body.
According to TCM, romance, love and a patient’s experience of them are directly related to the condition of their Qi. In this 1-hour class, Dr Felice Dunas will introduce you to how a patient’s experience of love, their romantic life and their physical health, can benefit from TCM support.
Learning Objectives
- The instructor will provide the practitioner with tools for discussing this topic with his/her patients
- Participants will learn TCM theoretical strategies for resolving love and romance related health problems
- Participants will be introduced to the correlation between a person’s behavior, in reference to love and romance, and the condition of their qi
- The instructor discusses patterns in love and romantic relationship behavior and how these patterns correlate to specific energetic syndromes

Hacking Chinese Medicine - Course 2
Qi: The Most Important Code Word in Chinese Medicine
with Janice Walton-Hadlock
See In Store See Entire Series *
* You can normally get a discount when you buy a series whole!
Overview
Qi is a code word. It can take years for a student of Chinese medicine to begin to understand all the variations and permutations implied by the word “Qi”.
Even so, many practitioners of Chinese medicine fling this word at their patients. The imprecise and even incorrect use of the word “Qi” can lead to grave concerns on the part of patients who go home frightened by their “Qi deficiency” or puzzled about their “Stagnant Qi.”
By learning the ancient roots of this word, by reviewing the derivative forms of this word (Gu Qi, Zhong Qi, and so on), a practitioner can be reminded of ways to communicate with his patient in a manner that isn’t mystical or alarming.
By putting key Chinese medical words into English – and by knowing the historical origins of these words and understanding what they actually meant historically as well as in light of western understanding of physics – a practitioner can come up with far more helpful treatment plans, and also empower his patient.
Learning Objectives
- Consider the patient empowerment that comes with actually understanding with the acupuncturist is saying.
- Learn how to translate the various type of medical Qi into simple English that a patient or western MD can easily relate to.
- Receive examples of how using the Chinese medical terms with patients can lead to confusion and even fear on the part of the patient.
- Learn the ancient roots of the word Qi, and some of the ancient philosophy behind it.
