With Zarig and Conny Cooper, pre-recorded lecture by Andrew Nugent-Head.
Ma Danyang's Heavenly Star Points have been passed down through history as a set of highly effective points, each producing an effect “like hot water poured upon snow”. On this day we will be exploring why that is and will be practising needle techniques to unlock their full potential.
CPD includes:
a pre-recorded lecture (2.5h) by Andrew Nugent-Head providing background information on the “why” and “how” of the Heavenly Star points’ effects. This is to be watched before the practical day.
a practical day where we will be practising tangible acupuncture techniques to unlock the full potential of these points. Please come prepared to needle and be needled to get a first-hand experience of their effects.
At the end of the day, course participants will have a deeper appreciation of the use of the Heavenly Star points, as well as relevant skills that can be used in clinic immediately to start reaping the results of these wonderful points.
Who can attend?
Qualified acupuncturists or third year students on a BAAB accredited course.
Teachers:
The pre-recorded lecture features Andrew Nugent-Head from the Association for Traditional Studies https://www.traditionalstudies.org/ (ATS).
