The courses in the Certification Program primarily discuss the deeper energetic anatomy and energy pathways: this would include the chakra system, the three dantians and three treasures, and specific acupuncture meridians that are connected to “deeper” energetics like Ren, Du, and Chong Mai in connection to Ida and Pingala and Shushumna in the Indian System.
Certain acupuncture points are discussed as well as understandings related to different organs. But rather than going into all of them, there is an emphasis on certain extra potent places like stomach 36, also known as the three-mile point, and how this relates to deeper healing. As well as the yin tang brow chakra and others.
But again, emphasis is not on all points and meridians but rather focused on the deeper chi reservoirs in the body and the more primary energetic forces. Again those include deeper pathways and specific points associated with those pathways or energy vortexes.
Also, because many of our students are acupuncturists, they already know the acupuncture and acupressure points.
As far as the Medical Qigong technique, I typically demonstrate hands-on and hands-off techniques because some practitioners work with one more than the other. I will show hands-off and even distance healing but then typically address the massage therapist style of working and how to incorporate the technique and the acupuncturists who will be using needles.
