CEU Seminars for Acupuncturists

In my continued efforts to support the acupuncture community, I am teaching and sharing some of my personal clinical experiences with other acupuncturists and practitioners of Oriental medicine in the upcoming Fall season.

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.

North Texas Haiti Relief

The following message is from the senior pastor of my church Cross Timbers Community Church. Meridian Harmonics is on board for helping with this cause. Please read this message all the way through and help us help the less fortunate.

I know you are all aware of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti this week. The number of lives lost continues to climb and the devastation is difficult for most of us to fathom.

There are numerous ways that folks are helping.   Here is how Cross Timbers is going to respond:

Give. There are two ways we are going to give towards relief efforts in Haiti:

    • Cross Timbers is going to make an immediate donation of $10,000 to Samaritan’s Purse to provide water and shelter to those in need. This faith based organization has the ability to get much needed supplies to those in need in a fast and efficient manner. We want to help them help the people of Haiti.

    • We are setting up drop off sites at all three of our campuses to collect medical supplies for an organization called Love A Child. The list of items that we are collecting is found below. Items will be collected at all three of our campus locations beginning this Sunday January 17 through the next Sunday January 24th.Drop off times will be from 8:00 am-8:00 pm Monday through Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m until 2:00 pm.


*************************************************************************

Meridian Harmonics has volunteered to be a satellite drop-off point. We need the following donations by 3:00 PM, Friday Jan 22.

Cross Timber is also organizing medical emergency mission trips. For those who are trained in emergency medicine and want to be a part of one of these on-going mission trips, please contact haitirelief@crosstimberschurch.org

*************************************************************************
Both of these organizations have a long history on the ground in Haiti as well as a wealth of experience in large scale crisis response. It is through these partnerships that we are able to engage the need in Haiti. We have great confidence that you can trust that what you give will be stewarded well to help the people of Haiti.

Serve. These problems Haiti is facing will not go away in just a couple weeks, so we are committed to serving Haiti long-term. We have begun to adjust our missions budget for 2010 to help send short term teams to Haiti to aid in recovery. The immediate emergency situation in Haiti doesn’t present an opportunity for us to put teams on the ground to serve. But in 60-90 days, there will be tremendous opportunity for teams to serve in Haiti. We have begun to make some contacts with ministry friends who have connections in Haiti so that trips can be planned in an effective way to bring help to those who will continue to have need.
