The Nine Essential Needling Techniques in the ClinicAbout the Seminar What will you learn? About AndrewA needle is not meant to be inserted into a point, but to manipulate the Qi of a patient. The point is only a location, and its actions can only happen reliably with correct manipulation of the needle. Under-standing how to change the motion and intensity of our needling and supporting hands as well as our body weight is criti-cal to moving beyond insertion and hoped for results, and into tangibly creating warming, cooling, movement along the channels, gathering, spreading, filling or emptying sensations in our patients. With-out these essential skills, we cannot hope to have predictable responses and reliable clinical results. In this seminar, Andrew walks through the physical mechanics of each technique as well as demonstrates them on volunteers from the audience to the keep the presentation practical.
The Nine Essential Techniques covered are:1. Burning Mountain 2. Cooling Sky3. Channel Travelling4. Softening/Spreading 5. Gathering/Consolidating 6. Sparrow Pecking 7. Pulling Out 8. Pinning In9. Awakening the Yuan Qi
Each technique will be explained in detail and demonstrated, followed by group practice time. The methods will enable all attendees to needle with precision and control, so that specific results can be reliably reproduced in your acupuncture practice.
