influences suffering and healing.
About the course:

The acupuncturist goes all the way to the origin of the patients life, to the place
where the spirit is rooted, to ben shen. (Rooted in the spirit)
This presentation deals primarily with something which we often see in the clinic, that
is, psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and phobia. Patients come to
us with various manifestations of their suffering which are not only physical.
In Chinese medicine there is an inherent understanding of the body mind and spirit as
a single unit, which is directed by the heart and the shen.
All psychological disorders are rooted in the shen or in some aspects of the shen.
Traumas, and especially childhood traumas, are affecting the ability of the heart to
connect to our inner most.

If we want to help the patient to see his inner strength, we need carefully, to find the
hidden places, using Chinese medical diagnosis tools such as: observing the patients
eyes and complexion. Listening carefully to his wishes, identifying his strength, and
then we see the pain and suffering, too. for example a person that is angry all the time
and blames every one for his depression, has at the same time the inner beauty of the
Huns capacity to create, imagine and be full of compassion.
Many acupuncture points and old texts give us a clear idea of how to turn livers
stagnation and depression to hope and creative powers.
In Ling Shu Chapter 8 it says: For every needling, the method is above all, not to
miss the rooting of the spirit. This is a vital message for every practitioner of TCM
but what is the best way to root the spirit?
The 7 emotions, 5 wills, 3 Hun. Shen and Po give us clues to diagnose and treat what
we define as psychological disorders.
In this workshop there will be presentation of clinical cases, new approach to
diagnosis and a clinical decision making process which helps analyzing the Rooting
of the Spirit and successfully treat psychological disorders.
Acupuncture for treatment of the Shen and psychological problems:

There are few types of treatment that have an outstanding effect on this type of
disorders:
Ancient point prescription, such as treating aggressive energy (Xie Qi).
Special approach, using special points such as windows of the sky.
Points which are directed to treat the patient core and strength.
Using a single point will bring about a fast and dramatic cure and allow the
patients Shen to shine through.

them.

arrive at a more concise and precise therapeutic plan.
Better understanding of the spirits role in: past experience, prenatal

experiences, parents influence, traumas from childhood and other traumas.

treatment plan that can be easily understood and applied in the clinic.

demonstration with audience participation will be employed.
Clear approach to treatment of trauma and understanding of GUI.

phobia, anxiety attack, O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorders).

spirit)
