Continuing education
This 2-day course, meticulously curated by Jonathan Shubs, immerses you in the ancient wisdom of the Nan Jing (The Classic of Difficult Issues; most likely written by multiple authors during the Han dynasty, 25–220 AD) as articulated in chapters 16 and 69. The narrative of Nan Jing unveils a unique understanding of complex medical concepts, laying a solid foundation for the therapeutic journey we encounter with every patient.
Additionally, Jonathan will teach you the 5-element logic of the Sa'am 4-needle technique and the Nan Jing abdominal palpation. This will provide you with fantastic tools to verify your diagnosis and learn how, despite using only a few points, you can still achieve significant therapeutic effects. Moreover, you will receive immediate feedback on the effectiveness of your treatment from your patients. How wonderful is that!
Sa’am’s 4 Needle Technique:
Discover the innovative Korean Sa’am 4 needle acupuncture technique that resonates with the rhythmic harmony of the body's energies. This technique, minimalistic in its approach with just four needles, opens doors to a realm of healing possibilities by tonifying, dispersing, warming or cooling any meridian in the body, allowing for profound energetic shifts.
Nan Jing Abdominal Palpation:
Learn how to palpate the abdomen in Nan Jing style. This diagnostic tool is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine and refined in Japanese acupuncture practice. Under Jonathan's expert guidance, you will unravel the philosophy and practice of abdominal palpation, enhancing your diagnostic accuracy and enabling a better informed and interactive treatment.
Clinical Applications in Practice:
This increased diagnostic accuracy will give you more confidence when treating a wide range of complex patterns, particularly in internal and psycho-emotional disorders.
In order to arrive at the best treatment plan, Jonathan has developed a color scheme that not only makes it much easier and more fun to apply the Nan Jing wisdom, but also gives you a tool that, because of its accuracy, you will use constantly in your practice.
Thanks to a well-balanced mix of theory and practice, you will gain a deep understanding of the 5 elements, meridian interactions and the interactive nature of these ancient healing systems. You will notice, as you apply the new practical skills and the broader perspective on holistic healing approaches with your own patients, how this ancient wisdom comes into its own in today's practice.
