5,000 years of recorded medical history from China sets the stage for this class. One half of the class will be lecture on the theories and practices of Eastern medicine. The Five Element Theory with its patterns, rhythms and relationships is one of the basics. We will learn the Meridian Cycle and how it affects the body.

Zang Fu Physiology will show the relationships with all of the organs from the Eastern point of view, how they all work together and affect each other. Acupressure Point Location is an integral part of this class - with uses for the main power points of the body. And we will learn how Principles of Yin and Yang relate to all of life - mentally, physically, spiritually, energetically and emotionally.

A healthy body takes care of itself! When someone can move in all directions easily, express all thoughts and emotions then move on with life and all of the timing of cycles and flows are in sync -- they have health. In Asia, the doctors believe that 60% of the people get well by themselves - so we just help it along by removing the blockages and balancing the body.

Qi Gong is sometimes referred to as "Self Healing" exercises in China - and prescribed by the doctors for treating certain disorders. We will practice some of these exercises as a
working part of the class.

The balance of the class will be bodywork techniques that can be used separately or included in other styles of bodywork. Some of these will include seated massage specialties, TMJ balancing, neck, shoulder, back and sacral releases. There will also be a professional
one-hour acupressure treatment.

You will want to wear loose, comfortable, respectful, layerable clothing with a minimum of restrictions. Eastern bodywork is normally done clothed - so we will be learning to work through clothes. This treatment will be performed on a table.

Workbook notes will be provided for the class. You will need to bring notebooks and pens. Multi-colored highlighters or colored pencils are recommended as well. Available to purchase will be Acupressure Charts and a video/DVD demonstrating the massage treatment as taught in class.
