This 10-week course explores the physiology of the primary meridians in health and in illness, offering simplified strategies for addressing pathogenic factors while also supporting the deeper needs of the spirit. It is based on the presenter’s interpretation of the Primary Meridian Lectures from Jeffrey Yuen’s Advanced Acupuncture training in New York City during the summer and fall of 2009 and clinical experience of their application.

In this lecture, Liu Lihong, a classical master physician presents from a very personal perspective what was once at the core of ancient medical healing—the inseparable relationship of the physical aspects of the body to the realm of the emotions. In particular, he introduces us to an ancient yet thriving Confucian lineage in Northern China that practices healing by personal conduct, storytelling, and affirming Five-Element virtue chants. (Mandarin Chinese, translated into English by Heiner Fruehauf)
