| Charles Chace Charles (Chip) Chace is a graduate of the New England School of Acupuncture (1984). He maintains a highly successful clinical practice in Boulder, Colorado and he is a faculty member at the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine where he teaches both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Chip has been studying Chinese Medicine and palpation based forms of acupuncture for over 25 years and is thus, uniquely positioned to teach these workshops. Complementing this is Chip’s longstanding interest in the palpatory techniques of cranial osteopathy and their adaptation to acupuncture. In addition, Chip is a committed student of Classical Chinese literature. He has published extensively on the application of pre-modern Chinese medical ideas to modern clinical practice in the West. |
Li Shizhen’s Exposition on the Eight Extraordinary Vessels
(Qijing baimai kao, c. 1576) is the seminal work on the
extraordinary vessels, combining discussions of
acupuncture, herbal medicine and internal alchemy.
Although it is widely cited in other sources, it is rarely
considered on its own merits. Over the centuries much has
been written about the extraordinary vessels, what they do
and how to use them.
This workshop will allow you to experience these vessels in
a practical manner. The palpatory techniques presented in
this training provide an invaluable bridge between an arcane
aspect of medical literature and their concrete application in
clinical practice.
A central premise of the text is that, to hope to realize the
extraordinary vessels’ full therapeutic potential, physicians
must have some understanding of theiral chemical aspects.
From Li’s perspective, this hinges on the skillful use of
attentive stillness. The palpatory techniques presented in
this training are rooted in this very same appreciation for
stillness.
You will receive hands-on instruction in the following:
- An overview of Li Shi Zhen’s text and other material
- on the extraordinary vessels
- Channel listening, quality of contact, extraordinary
- vessel pulse diagnosis
- Manual thermal diagnosis
- Cranial rhythmic impulse
- Fluids and fluid tides
- General and local listening techniques
- Precision in point location
- Refinement in needle technique using both contact
needling and insertion techniques
- Extraordinary Vessel Meditation Set
