The first seminar is based on my recently published book, The Pulse Matrix. This is a two day weekend seminar in Austin, TX at the Academy of Oriental Medicine & Acupuncture (AOMA). This seminar is scheduled for September 18-19.
Seminar Synopsis: In spite of what most acupuncturists learn in school, there are natural laws that govern Oriental medicine. It is, completely, a form of medicine based on true science and not esoteric ruminations. Unfortunately, most practitioners do not have a background or education in the hard sciences that comprise the foundation of Oriental medicine. This seminar will introduce the practitioner to these sciences and how they are reflected in the primary diagnostic method of Oriental medicine: Chinese Pulse Diagnosis. This will be a hands-on seminar with plenty of workshop time along with numerous case studies and examples. This technique has been in development since 1997. I have, personally, been using The Pulse Matrix in my own practice for the last five years to develop and implement, both, herbal and acupuncture treatment strategies. There are a variety of pulse diagnosis methods available to practitioners. What I like most about The Pulse Matrix is that it, actually, makes sense and it takes the guess work out of true differential diagnosis. Rarely, do most patients present with a single symptom that reflects a single simple Chinese Pattern diagnosis. In fact most patients reflect several disease patterns. This seminar will teach the practitioner how to identify all the patterns affecting a patient and design treatment protocols that will expedite their health recovery.
The second seminar, Meridian Balancing, based on the Balance Method by Dr. Richard Tan, will be held in Houston, TX at the American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). This seminar is scheduled for November 13.
Seminar Synopsis: While still a student, I attended the first seminar Dr. Richard Tan did in Texas. There were about 9 people in the class. All were licensed acupuncturists except for me. None were from Texas, except for me. This seminar was Dr. Tan's original Basic Balance class. A year passed before I was able to implement the techniques I learned in this class as an intern in the school clinic. Because of this technique, alone, I became the busiest intern the school had ever had. Unfortunately, acupuncture schools don't, adequately, teach this technique or don't teach it, at all. In 2009 I began teaching this Meridian Balancing class, which emerged from the Basic Balance method. There are many "balance" strategies available to the practitioner. However, most practitioners don't know of them or how to use them, accordingly, to manifest the necessary affect to their patients health. In this seminar practitioners will learn an expanded form of the Basic Balance method and how to apply the various methods in their clinic, right away.
Both seminars will include Ethics by Leslie Myers.
