Aromatherapy for our Metal Element
Aromatherapy is quickly becoming one of the most popular adjunct modalities used by acupuncturists and massage therapists. This can be attributed to its direct relationship with antimicrobial properties, effects on the Shen, and acupuncture points.
Essential oils mirror the effects of acupuncture or manual stimulation of the meridian. For this reason, essential oils provide a supportive and accurate enhancement to an acupuncture or massage session.
In this 90-minute meetup, we will discuss the functions and practical applications of single essential oils and certain Meridian Biologix blends that support our Wei Qi/Metal Element.
Essential Oils to be discussed:
Peppermint
Eucalyptus Radiata
Eucalyptus Globulus
Pine
Rosemary
Basil
Lavender

Intro to Mind - Body Integration For the Practitioner
A More Meaningful Prescription for Healing
Acupuncturists and our clients are accustomed to looking outside of ourselves for healing with the use of acupuncture, herbs, and essential oils. All are highly beneficial and often needed, yet being acquainted with using the mind for health and well-being will prove extraordinary for you and your patients. Mind-Body Integration is a millennial tradition that engages and supports the individual in uncovering meaning in all facets of life and seeing the external world as a reflection of the inner world. As we change the inner world, the outer will inevitably change.
In this brief introduction, you will start using your mind as a healing tool.
You will learn:
Pillars of Mind-Body Integration
As above so below
Functions precede form (invisible creates the visible)
Law of reciprocity (change the inner to change the outer)
Mental Imagery as the Primary Language
What is mental imagery and what it is not
Images are both qualities and embodiments of our inner self
(beliefs, experience, experiences, emotions)

From a presence of confidence and self-awareness to the development of assertiveness and getting in touch with your true voice and taking action. Clinical practices to build and harness Yuan source and Yang Qi, as the building blocks for sexual health.
