Course Overview
Jing, the Channels or Meridians are the norms that structure all forms of circulation in the body and control the flow of Qi. Mai, the Vital Circulations (also translated as pulses or vessels) are the pathways of blood & qi (qixue) that spread on the surface and deep inside. In them flows the invisible power that develops life, enabling it to expand and endure. Movement in the Mai might seem more important than substance but Mai & Substance should also not be dissociated. Mai is the expression of unceasing flow and movement while jing is the expression of the power of its organizing flux and maintains it in its natural norms. This recorded webinar explores these notions of Jing & Mai.

  • Outline
    0 hrs - 15 min

    Introduction - Presentation of the Chinese Jing character. Explore the concept with an analogy on the River and Meridians. Can river stop? Jing, the Channels or Meridians are the norms that structure all forms of circulation in the body and control the flow of Qi.

    15 min - 30 min

    Reference to Lingshu12 - Expansion on the 5 Zang and 6 Fu correlation with the flows. What is usually in Excess? What is usually in Deficiency? By drawing the Kidney, do we reverse the flow? Should it be the Liver which should be tamed? Illustration of Yin and Yang meridians pathways.

    30 min - 45 min

    Presentation of the 4 cardinals movements referenced to Lunshu 16 and 38. Illustration to the “Yang ascending” movement of the Yin starting from Earth and the “Yin movement” of the Yang descending from Heaven. Illustration the Bia/Li (inner-Outer) movement.

    45 min - 1 hrs

    Presentation of the Chinese Mai character. Translated as Vessel, Vital circulation, Pulse sounds like distinct meaning that we should not try to separate but bring to it the same aspect. An analogy of the river flowing uninterrupted. What is river flow on earth is blood circulation on humans (Guanzi 39)? Earth QI emerge in Pulsation “Mai”. (Quotation from Guoyu-Zhouyu 1-6).

    1 hrs - 1.25 hrs

    Analogy of Blood circulation “Xie Mai” and Qi circulation “Qi mai” which brings the notion of movement and rhythm, Yin-Yang-Qi and Qi & Blood. Water in the river is not the river, the river is moving water. Pulse and flowing have no distinction. All organs contribute to the richness and dynamism of unity of blood & Qi. Present the non-dissociation of Blood and Qi. Illustrate the interaction between the Master of Blood (Heart) and the Master of Qi (Lung) (Lingshu 10). Movement in the Mai is more

    1.25 hrs - 1.5 hrs

    Reference and presentation on how the heart treasures the vital circulation which is the dwelling place of the spirit (Lingshu 8). An expansion, on how it is imbalances, and not the vessels, which causes blood to leave its circulation path. Emphasis on subtleties instead of the substances. “Qi Mai” is not only a movement but also a rhythm. For all correlation of Yin & Yang and Qi, there will be an equivalence in Qi & Blood. The balance between Qi & Blood will be the source of harmony. Mai Fu is

    What People Are Saying

    This is an exceptional course, presented by one of the best living teachers of classical Chinese medicine. The course has closed captions of the narrative, and illustrated Chinese characters on screen along with downloadable comprehensive handouts, so is engaging & illuminating for practitioners, from the newly graduated to those, like me, with 40+ years in practice. Beyond information about the specific topic, you will gather transferable skills in your understanding of classical Chinese mind, and medical theory/practice. I, unreservedly, recommend Elisabeth Rochat as a teacher of any course, irrespective of your lineage of clinical practice. Niki B (Canada)

    About Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée

    Born in Paris in 1949, Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee studied philosophy, literature and classics at Paris University where she completed her Master's degree in Classics and in Philosophy, and then in Chinese. Elisabeth met Claude Larre s.j. when she was 20, while he was working on his PhD thesis on the Huainanzi and translating the Laozi. As a result of his influence, she began to study Chinese, working with him on Chinese classical texts. Elisabeth also studied modern Chinese with a native speaker and spent a year in Taiwan (1974) to further her studies. In the early 1970's, Father Larre met Dr. Jean Schatz, a western physician with an interest in oriental medicine He was an acupuncturist with a special interest for the classical medical texts. At this time, Elisabeth began to embark on her study of Chinese medicine, and together with Dr. Schatz and Father Larre, began the first study group of the classical medical texts in Paris. This lead to the founding of the European School of Acupuncture in Paris in 1976. From this common work, Father Larre, Dr. Schatz and herself co-authored A Survey of Chinese Medicine, published in 1979. Under the auspices of the Ricci Institute in Paris, Father Larre and Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee offered lectures, seminars and conferences on Chinese classical thought and in the mid 1980s, she began to accompany Father Larre on his teaching engagements in both the UK and US. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee also worked closely with Father Larre on the Grand Ricci dictionary, completing the first publication in 1999. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee continues to teach worldwide, working with both medical and philosophical Classics. She has worked with wonderful individuals such as Sandra Hill for the editing and publication of books in English through Monkey Press, Peter Firebrace for teaching in London with Orientation; Ken and Jessica Rose in the US with whom she co-founded the Three Spring Institute, and many others in different countries and languages. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee believes that the real knowledge of the Chinese vision of life is useful not only to understand Chinese medicine from a scholarly point of view, but also to deepen one’s practical approach and clinical skill. This is the reason why she always reads, translates and explains texts which present a precise pathology and its diagnosis treatment or a reflection on the nature and meaning of human life or anything in the between.
