July 10-11, 2010
Over the past 10 years, I have been working with different styles of Acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy in my clinic. Along the way, I stopped seeing a great difference between open handed work and needle work except, of course, the presence of the needle as a treatment focus. Open Hand Acupuncture is the result of this evolving work, and focuses on the central concepts of Qi flow that are equally applicable with open hand work or needle work.
The Theory and Basic Rhythms class will present these different central concepts of Qi flow and how they apply specifically to open hand treatments. We will draw on elements of more orthodox Craniosacral Therapy and Acupuncture models to delve deeply into improving your direct connection to your client’s Qi with your bare hands. The goal of this work is to help you move further in your own work and develop a more individual treatment style that is authentic to you and the unique ways you naturally understand and relate to Qi. You will leave this class with skills and treatment protocols that you will be able to put to use immediately, and which you will be able to adapt to fit the specific needs of your clients.
Acupuncturists and body-workers of any style and level of experience are welcome.
