Point Release and Appropriate Insertion

July 30-31, 2011

Join Zach as we refine our needle technique. This class will cover all parts of the actual needling process, from your mental approach, stance and posture, the ways you direct Qi, physical movements of the fingers, your reasons for selecting needles, and your goals for every point you treat.

We will explore the ways in which different practitioners experience and process Qi, and how the way you process Qi can inform and improve your treatment results. Advanced needle manipulations from many styles of acupuncture have been deconstructed to provide foundational templates from which to work. Methods for adjusting these templates to respond to your clinical needs will be discussed in detail.

This class is an opportunity for students and practitioners of any style and any level of expertise to deepen their personal understanding of the needle techniques they practice.

All are welcome. No prior experience with the Art of Acupuncture classes is required. A selection of needles will be supplied, and you are also free to bring your own.
