About the Course

By analyzing the 13 Ghost Points through the lens of Drs. Shen and Hammer, practitioners will reconnect with themselves both as a practitioner and individual to have a better understanding of the relationship between body, mind and spirit when treating and to be of service to all humanity.

This peculiar grouping of acupuncture points first appeared as “The Song of the 13 Ghost Points” written in the book “The Thousand Gold Prescriptions” by Sun Simiao. The points are well chosen and sequenced in such a way that disharmony is gently restored into harmony. At the end of the course students and practitioners will be able to integrate the 13 Ghost Points and Reposee method into their own practice.

In this Distance Learning Class, we will:

  • Bring awareness of the healing aspect of ritual with the celebration of our ancestors through a medical Qi Gong practice called “Reposee” – This connection is described by Dr. Leon Hammer, MD as a necessary foundation of the “advanced practitioner”;
  • Present the 13 Ghost Points, point by point, with their anatomy location, and a discussion of insertion or acupressure methods and indications; and
  • Experience a relaxing, guided meditation to prevent clinic burn-out and refresh the senses by going through all 13 Ghost points to calm the shen, raise the clear yang Qi for clarity and focus, and drain excess emotions, and phlegm / dampness. 

 

Who Should Take This Course:

  • Practitioners interested in incorporating Alchemical Healing approaches into their practice;
  • Practitioners who are focused on the psycho-emotional aspects of treatment;
  • Practitioners and students who would like to expand their treatment toolbox for difficult patient cases.
