The Element of Wood Webinar

Emily Rowe, MD, L.Ac will be teaching The Five Elements:
Wood, The Season of Spring  Online via Zoom  

Tuesday April 30th, 2024 7pm-9pm Eastern Time

Cost $29

Recording will be available for 1 month

Join me for a fun and exciting look at the Chinese philosophical and medical energetics of the element of Wood.

Wood represents the energies of springtime, sprouts bursting out of the confinement of seeds, upward growth, expansion, reaching goals and evolving an elevated perspective with compassion.

In this class, we will have a discussion about the philosophy of the five elements. These elements are representations of foundational energies which generate creation.

Nothing in this class, constitutes medical advice. However, we will discuss medical implications of an unbalanced wood element.

Class Description:

The concept of The Five Elements is a philosophical system of correspondence created in ancient China through the observations of nature. Energetic cycles of life are explored through the dynamic interaction of elements/phases. The five elements in Chinese medicine are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Some people argue that the word “phase” is a better translation than “element,” as the Chinese word “xing” 行 indicates a process of moving, traveling and circulating, not a physical substance. But most English references use the word “element” when the idea is translated. Each of us has all five of these elements and ideally, they are in balance. The elements can be interpreted as energetic vibrations which dynamically interact, balance, transform and generate reality. Wood represents coming into being, sprouting and growing, spiraling upwards. Fire is the spark of passion, transforming and transmuting physical substance. Earth is a consolidating force, which nourishes and creates concrete reality. Metal represents death, decay, loss, purification and the return to source. Water illustrates the life force which is regenerative and procreative.

This is a 2 hour class.

Prerequisites:

Everyone is welcome to join us!
The only pre-requisite to the class is a sense of curiosity about the dynamics of our world!

Acutonics® Level II Class: Higher Harmonics and The Inner Nature of Tone

3 Days: May 24-26th , 2024
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Memorial Day Weekend
10am – 6:30 pm ET (with a lunch break)

Cost $500

Continuing Educational Units through the NCCAOM are available for Acupuncturists

Are you ready to take your sound healing treatments to the next level?

Acutonics® II builds off the previous techniques acquired in Acutonics® Level I. The planetary frequencies, which were explored in Level I, are taken to the next level, by adding in higher and lower octaves.

The use of other instruments, such as drums, rattles, Tibetan bowls and chimes are explored as well. This technique of layering of sounds, creates a symphony of healing forces, cocooning the client, balancing energies with resonance and dissonance.

Class Description:

This class deepens participants’ knowledge of musical intervals and sound layering directly on and above acupuncture point combinations. The importance of the water element and its correspondence to the kidney, the concept of the heavenly spheres, the pole star, the natural cycles of the universe, the balance between yin and yang, and the spiritual and ancient wisdom traditions contained within Taoist philosophy, and Tibetan Buddhist traditions are discussed. Energy assessment and the relationship of the individual to the cycles of nature and the cosmos are explored while deepening students’ knowledge of the Five Elements, Eight principals, Three
Treasures, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, key acupoints, and Ashi /trigger points or areas of pain. The importance of listening and understanding clients’ narratives and the embedded archetypes are examined in the context of developing more sophisticated treatment strategies.

Through instructor demonstration and clinical practicum students learn to palpate, balance, expand, and transform disharmonies in the meridian and organ systems. Use of the Earth and Moon tools are reviewed, and students are introduced to high and low frequency tuning forks. Sound layering is further explored through the integration of tuning forks and indigenous sound healing tools from ancient Tibet, cross-cultural traditions incorporating sound vibration for healing are discussed. The applications of Tibetan bowls, on and above acupuncture points and in the field are explored.

The Role of Oxalates in Chronic Pain, Accumulation of Heavy Metals, Mold Toxicity and Autism

 Are you interested in helping your clients who have pain? Are you interested in diet and lifestyle as the basis for longevity?

Plants make oxalates to protect themselves and several “healthy foods,” such as beets, spinach and tea are high in oxalates.  Oxalates can be aggravating to certain health conditions.  We will discuss which foods have high oxalate content, the medical pathophysiology of what can occur with oxalate accumulation and why physicians and diagnostic tests might fail to identify oxalates as a medical issue.  We will discuss Chinese Medicine energetics and diagnostic patterns and how oxalates might disrupt the flow of qi within the meridians.   We will also discuss the energetics of the goddess Hygiea and her relationship to preventative health, as well as astrological planetary and Zodiacal considerations.

An Introduction to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): An Integrated Approach To Managing A Commonly Missed GI Issue

Miami Beach Comprehensive Wellness Center is excited to announce an online, interactive webinar for healthcare providers of all backgrounds.  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a type of bacterial imbalance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.  The symptoms of SIBO are gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, often associated with a wide array of symptoms outside of the GI tract.  Many patients with SIBO are told that have some form of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and thus never solve the root cause of their symptoms.  Learning to recognize and address SIBO is useful for practitioners of all specialties as it is far more common than what is recognized in mainstream medicine and often goes undiagnosed.
