Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
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 minReference 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 minPresentation 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 hrsPresentation 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.

1 hrs - 1.25 hrsAnalogy 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

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.
