palpation skills. A confidence builder for your table work skills. An
application for correct structural body alignment utilizing Neigong principles

AnMo and Five Element Massage. This course is intended both for energy
practitioners and body workers with beginner, intermediate or advanced
backgrounds. All student levels will gain insights to elevate, refine
with immediate application to their client practice.
Throughout this course,
the student will learn, integrate, and apply Neigong (structural linking
the musculoskeletal system) exercises to develop the internal linkage
and body structure mechanics necessary to embody and execute the Tuina,
Five Element Massage and Anmo skills effectively. Tuina is a Chinese soft
tissue (muscle and tendon) therapy used in China for 2,000 years. It uses
the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians
as it basic therapeutic orientation. Tuina seeks to harmonize the flow
of Qi through the system through hand manipulation techniques that are
based on Pushing and Grasping movements. AnMo, which means Pressing and
Rubbing, is a set of techniques that date back to the Yellow Emperor's
Inner Classic, c. 200 BC, where it was used to effect the movement of
Qi and to invigorate the blood. Traditional Anmo focuses on the energetic
balancing of the viscera through manipulation with the hands. This can
bring energetic harmony to the major organs, facilitates the flow of Qi
and blood throughout the body. Five Element Massage seeks to influence
the muscles, nerve fibers and deep underlying tissues of the body to aid
metabolism and stimulate the energy balance of Qi. Five skills relating
to the Five Elements and their associated organs are utilized for establishing
the energetic vitality of the body. There's an amazing amount of knowledge
and experience that will be shared in this 12 week course. It will bring
your table work skills to a new level. If the content speaks to you, please
