This ten day seminar will be
a process of personal transformation that is based upon the principles
of the five elements. For approximately two days the participants
will explore the dimension of a specific element through meditation,
massage of the corresponding organ meridians and Chinese diagnostic
methods. This process of transformation trough the principles of the
five elements has been designed fifteen years ago and became well
known as an empirical rather than purely theoretical teaching method.
I suggest the following daily schedule:
|
|
| 8
- 9 a.m. |
morning meditation |
|
|
| 9
a.m. |
breakfast |
|
|
| 10.30
a.m. - 2 p.m. |

with emphasis on feedback about the process, learning new |
|
|
|
meridians and
points, new manual techniques and diagnostic methods |
|
|
| 2
p.m. |
lunch |
|
|
| 4.30
- 8 p.m |
afternoon session
with emphasis on practical work like exchange of meridian |
|
|
|
massage and pulse
reading, dancing |
|
|
| 8
p.m. |
dinner |
|
|
| 9.30
p.m. |
working in pairs
with 5 element diagnostic / evening meditation |
|
|
The intention of this seminar is to enable the participants to do
a valid five-element-diagnosis and accordingly select an appropriate
sequence of meridian massage to balance out excess and lack of qi
in the various affected meridians, thus being capable of treating
symptoms of general physical and emotional dis-ease and chronic nature.
A characteristic of this five-element-process ist that the participants
will become more aware of the emotional, mental and also spiritual
contents and correspondances of the meridians and organs. The techniques
and sequences of meridian massage have been designed in a way so that
the release of suppressed feelings and emotions is facilitated and
furthered (without being forced).
As the emphasis of the "HEALING TAO" Seminar is on meditation,
emotional exploration and contemplation of the five elementsŤ principles,
it is not required to have previous knowledge of Chinese medicine.
Beginners can learn the meridian system, their main points, basic
five-element-diagnostic and meridian massage within these ten days.
People who already know about Chinese medicine can focus more on finer
aspects of the meridians and the points and keep the head empty to
fully enjoy. |
