You know those moments…

✦ When you feel totally at ease and steady in
yourself as you practice.

✦ When you feel you
can touch the core of
your receiver’s issue.

✦ When your hands do something completely new, like it’s just for this person.

✦ When the session flows
with ease + grace that comes from beyond you.

These moments are FUEL for
our evolution as medicine carriers,

because they show us what’s possible when we reside within the central axis of our life force and reach towards the same within our receiver. In the oldest texts of Chinese medicine, this pathway is known as the Great Chong Mai. It is the teacher that already resides within us.

that asks to

  • As the first channel system to form in us in utero, the Great Chong Mai is the reservoir from which all other organ channels and body systems develop. It is the CENTRAL PILLAR of our life force and the container of our nervous system.

    The Chong is our LIFE CURRICULUM engraved in our cells, earning the names Vessel of Blueprint and Vessel of Destiny.

    It is our capacity for EVOLUTION, and what makes humanity a bridge between heaven + earth.

    Learning the Chong within our body is a vital key to LIVE into our fullest capacity as medicine carriers.

    We can directly access this pathway with our breath, attention, and touch.

    When we inhabit our Great Chong, we can GENERATE steadiness and connection at any time.

The first course in this series expands upon foundational Chong theory of Chinese medicine into somatic practice
to study the dynamics of this system within YOU.

Inhabiting
the Vessel of Destiny 

1

Next, we court connection with the Chong Mai in treatment as a primary path through which to tend trauma and help your receivers find emotional freedom.

Center Path
to Anchor the Heart

True consent comes from the nervous system. Tracking consent through the Chong instructs our boundaries + communication to create a safe, secure, and sustainable container of treatment.

Ethics to Honor
the Original Blueprint 

3

The final course of the series explores myriad ways to deepen
your sensing capacity toward the unique medicine
that asks to live through YOUR life and practice,
and inquires into how we make our study in the treatment room.

Meeting the Root of Qi

What students are saying:

  • “I appreciate you tying in movement and breath in such a complete way to the concepts you cover. The physical and practical aspect is so helpful!”

  • “I would recommend this to anyone who needs an ethics course that they don't want to sleep through, LOL. Best ethics course everrrr!”

  • “This is such a dynamic balance of information and application,
    of rest and movement, of practical and mystical.“

  • “I LOVE all the practical stuff you share about timing and draping and language. And the reminder that ethics is rooted in what we are in deepest devotion to.”

  • “I’m inspired to prioritize the power I find in stillness and in my own breath, and allow myself to explore unfamiliar terrain in both.”

  • “I appreciate the way you really unpack the significance and prominence of grief. It's validating to hear you describe it as ‘at the root‘ of all difficult feelings.”

  • “This is perfect for all practitioners looking for a broader context through which to understand energetic dynamics.”

  • “I appreciate the clear and articulate way you deliver information.”

  • “I really, REALLY love the practicality of all of this,
    it’s so great to have you just lay it all out here.”

  • “It’s helpful to hear you describe in detail how it might manifest to see/sense in our clients the upwelling, or squelching, of their emotional material.”

  • “This was such a beautiful course. I loved the reminder that wellness isn't just in our physical body but all the things that make up our inner wellness.“

  • “I like hearing you get really specific about examples of what you sense, and how you might move with these things. It helps me to try it all on for myself.”

  • Bodyworkers, I made this course with you in mind! You can utilize so much of the potency of Chinese medicine within the scope of your practice, and there’s nothing in this course that’s outside your scope.

    Please confirm with your board that these credits are approved for continuing education!

    If you can't find this info online, call your board and ask: “Does the board accept continuing education credits granted by NCCAOM, the national acupuncture commission?”
