Master Tung's Magic
Acupuncture Points
SUSAN JOHNSON, L.Ac. has been practicing acupuncture since 1982. A graduate of the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Susan practiced in San Francisco from 1983 through 1988, specializing in the treatment of HIV.
In the Spring of 1987, Susan traveled with Miriam Lee, OMD, to central China as a guest of the Hefei TCM Research Hospital, to study advanced bleeding techniques with Dr. Wang Su Jen. She studied Master Tung's Points with Dr. Miriam Lee and Dr. Young Wei-Chieh for more than 12 years and has been using them almost exclusively in her practice since that time.
She is a dynamic teacher who loves her work and is renowned for her clear presentation of this style of acupuncture. Susan maintains a private practice in Santa Cruz, California.
SEMINAR SCHEDULE
The Master Tungs Points Seminars have ended for 2011.
Golden Flower Chinese Herbs is proud to support Susan Johnson in spreading Master Tung’s legendary acupuncture system to the United States. Master Tung Ching-chang has been referred to as “The greatest acupuncture technician who ever lived.” He was a traditional Chinese physician from the Shandong Province in Northern China and was famous for the miraculous and spontaneous results he would obtain using just a few needles. The points in Master Tung’s system do not trace their origin to the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic. It is an entirely separate system kept alive and perfected by the Tung family over many centuries.
MASTER TUNG'S MAGIC POINTS
3 Weekend Beginning Series (39 CEUs)
The beginning series is presented over three, two-day weekends. All three weekends are devoted to detailed descriptions of point locations, functions, and indications.
Crystal clear video clips will demonstrate precise point location and needling technique for every point discussed in class. The first two weekends additionally cover the energetic systems and basic theory used by Master Tung. The third weekend includes some advanced theory.
2 Weekend Advanced Series (39 CEUs)
The Advanced Series of Master Tung's Magic Points consists of two 3-day weekends, Friday through Sunday (six days in all).
On each of the two Fridays in the Advanced Series, we study Master Tung's Magic Points by disease rather than location. This class is critical for learning point combinations, and provides differential disease diagnosis using Tung's Points.
Each of the two Saturdays in the Advanced Series offers a rare opportunity to receive supervised training on point location and needling technique. This is attendees' favorite class; it's fun and extremely valuable in ensuring that point location is correct. Students become true practitioners of Tung's system after taking this class.
Each of the two Sundays in the Advanced Series consists of workshops on "Advanced Techniques." The Sunday of the first weekend of the Advanced Series is "The Ancient Art and Science of Cupping." Susan offers detailed instructions on when to use cupping patterns. The class includes precise anatomical descriptions of muscle groups and how they are best cupped, as well as demonstration, diagrams, and some guided practice. The cupping class may be taken separately from the rest of the series, and is open to the public. The Sunday of the second Advanced Techniques weekend is by invitation only.
