Module I: Dan Bensky, Instructor

Those with no experience in palpation-based forms of acupuncture practice will be given a thorough introduction to this approach. The training will also help those with previous experience in osteopathic palpation to both broaden and deepen their understanding, and to better integrate it into their acupuncture practice.
Participants will be introduced to the acupuncture applications of palpatory techniques that include manual thermal diagnosis, as well as general and local listening techniques. In addition, participants will be introduced to the following cranial rhythms and how they can be understood and applied in the context of an acupuncture practice: cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI), mid tide, and long tide. Participants will also be introduced to the foundational principles and techniques used in listening to qi, including the Shape of Qi technique, manual thermal diagnosis, and channel listening – including how to apply them to enhance the efficacy of their acupuncture practice.
Upon completion of this seminar you will be able to:
