Advanced Applied Nanjing
Dynamic five-element transformation for internal disorders.
Formerly Applied Nan Jing Acupuncture – Level II.
This course builds on Applied Nanjing. It brings more than one four-needle pattern together for mental health and complex functional problems, and looks at how past emotional experience shapes a patient's present state, seen through the five elements. Abdominal palpation is revisited with more hands-on practice, and a special emphasis is put on emotional trauma and psycho-emotional imbalance.
