Earth Element – The Great Embracement

The season when nature draws into itself & begins to pivot toward the Yin phase and the
coming of the night. In Earth, we come into relationship with our issues around being

physical existence & is the source of the other four elements & represents the centre of
balance among them. In this two-day class explore in-depth the two organ systems
associated with Earth Element: The Spleen/Pancreas ~ the dwelling place of the Yi, putting “heart” & “mind” into our verbally expressed thoughts; The Stomach ~ encompassing our primary goal of being “filled”; The Big Issues of Earth: being nourished, reciprocity, feeling supported, belonging, feeling centered & stable, having mental clarity; The Spirit of the Earth Element acupoints & treatment patterns to address imbalance, and more.

Energetic Blocks to Healing: Why People Don't Heal

In this course we will explore the understanding that with our early life experiences & challenges we create core beliefs which then shape the expression of our personality. Over time & repeated experience we develop character strategies, certain habits, that define how we behave and how we see the world, thus the creation of our Constitutional Type. Then we will address all the energetic blocks that will prevent a person from getting well, regardless of the therapeutic intervention – we explore the journey back towards wholeness. In this threeday class explore in-depth the differentiation of the level of disease (energetic imbalance), whether physical, mental or emotional/spiritual; The Laws of Healing and explore blocks to treatment; The elemental needs of the Constitutional Types and the Spirit Points which address these needs, and more.
