Tuina – Level 2

Dates & Time

September 23 & 24 , 2023

Teacher : Ethan Murchie, Ac.

Where : Montreal Gongfu Research Center, 5773 Chabot street

Description

With the palpation and manipulation skills developed in Tuina – Fondations, the level 2 tuina course will introduce techniques focused on palpation of the craniosacral rhythm and the manipulation of fascia, membranous structures and channel tissue planes.

These physical structures require more refined palpation to feel and manipulate than do the larger muscles, tendons, ligaments and articulations studied in the first course. The study and practice of refined palpation will naturally lead the student towards a realistic understanding of the roles of Yin and Yang, and of qi and blood in body work. The method taught is based on the work of Dr. John Upledger and of Vince Black.

Course Contents and Goals
This training seminar has the following objectives:

• Understand the anatomy and physiology of the fluid metabolism of the central nervous system.
• Develop the necessary skill in palpation to perceive this fluid metabolism.
• Develop the skill and techniques necessary to work on the energetic component of the membranes, the fascial planes and the channel pathways.
• Develop an appreciation for the interaction between energy and tissues in the channel system.
• Review the Neijing’s descriptions of the channels and their physiology.
• Learn qigong practice specific to the development of the energetic and palpatory sensitivity necessary for this level of work.
