Alchemy is a fundamental aspect of early Chinese Medicine. Famous master healers of antiquity like Ge Hong and Sun SiMiao developed Alchemical healing techniques that focus on realizing a being's full potential rather than simply healing illness.
Alchemical Chinese Medicine in a Modern Day Practice: Why You Should Consider an Alchemical Approach in Your Clinical Practice
Alchemical Healers are agents for change. They facilitate this change through presence, and they engage the Spirit level. They operate in the realm of the patient's already existing perfection and witness patients discovering that perfection in themselves.
This Workshop introduces you to the practical use of Alchemy in a modern day Chinese Medicine practice. This approach includes using an advanced understanding of the Five Elements and the Nine Palaces in conjunction with a number of clinical applications such as:
Sun SiMiao's 13 Ghost Points - for PTSD, Trauma, and OCD
Ma DanYang's 12 Starry Sky Points - for helping someone find their alignment
The 9 Stages of Alchemy (based on Ge Hong's theories as taught by Dr. Jeffrey Yuen) - a program of personal self-cultivation and enlightenment
The Grieving Treatment as taught by Dr. Jeffrey Yuen - for someone who is stuck in grieving (up to many years after the death of a loved one)
Healing Heart Pains as taught by Dr. Jeffrey Yuen - for loving yourself and healing addictions
J.R. Worsley's Internal and External Devils/Dragons - for possession by Gui/Ghosts or emotions
The result of these treatments in patients is the transformation of stubborn and mysterious diseases (auto-immune, chronic Lyme, mental illness, congenital diseases among others) through the release of blocks that result from trauma and long-term difficulties in life. The patients undergo a significant transformation that brings a greater understanding (and forgiveness) of their own temperament, motivations, and purpose so that they can fly in their lives.
While these treatments are available and often discussed as theoretical approaches, the incorporation of them into modern practice remains advanced and mysterious. Leta Herman takes a step-by-step approach to the practical application of these techniques.
The reason to consider Alchemy in your practice is for your own self-cultivation through Chinese Medicine. As you incorporate these practices into your clinical practice, you transform along with your patients. This is the path of the Alchemical practitioner.
What type are practitioner are you? Are you a Technician, Teacher, or Alchemist. If you are fascinated with the spirit level of points, the treatment of heart pains (that may or may not have somaticized in the body as real pain), or are motivated day-to-day by the transformation your patients undergo as they receive regular treatment, you may be the Alchemist type.
Being an Alchemist requires that you develop techniques for putting “you” first and creating a strategy for your own self-cultivation. This approach helps the practitioner and the patient start to take on the world on your own terms. The Nine Stages of Alchemy are a map that you can follow along your path of development. If you are ready to really take the time to work on yourself, then this is the workshop for you. Join us for this exciting day.
