What if you could skip the non-essentials\, simplify the philosophy\, and focus on material you will be able to use in your office on Monday morning?  If that sounds appealing\, join us! This two-day seminar will take the mystery out of meridians. \nWe focus on applying acupuncture concepts to massage therapy assessment and treatment. You will become familiar with some acupuncture points but the real emphasis is on the meridian itself. You will learn to trace fourteen meridians from memory and discuss the associated muscles\, organs\, emotions\, and pathologies. \nOn the second day\, you will learn about categories of acupressure points including entry and exit points\, front mu and back shu points\, and command points.  Working with these points will deepen your understanding and comfort level with the meridian pathways. It sounds like a lot of material but the content of this class is structured to meet the practical needs of massage therapists. \nExpect to become comfortable locating acupressure points as well as using combinations of points to treat meridians\, organs and systems. We will use intention as well as physical stimulation in this approach.
