William Morris, PhD, DAOM, L.Ac. is a renowned expert on Chinese pulse diagnosis. He authored Mai Dao: Path of the Pulse, numerous journal papers on the subject and co-authored the PMPH book, Li Shi-zhen Pulse Studies: An Illustrated Guide. Classics and family lineages provide the foundation for his 30-year focus on the subject of pulse diagnosis. Morris is also author of Chinese Medicine and Transformation. This is a work on stage development and the use of Chinese medicine for addressing the imprints upon the psyche throughout the various stages of life. Morris has designed and taught 2 year herbal programs, authored A Comparative Materia Medicine and has published numerous articles on the topic of Chinese herbal medicine. He is president of AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine.
Morris spent 7 years studying Chinese pulse diagnosis in the Ding family lineage. He teaches in the Ding family lineage, weaving that work with a literate discipline that is rooted in the classics. With 20 years of experience teaching pulse diagnosis and a master degree in medical education from USC, Morris has developed a system of practice that weaves the knowledge systems of China into a comprehensive view. He has built a contemporary application of six channel and Eight Extraordinary Vessel pulse methods presented in the Pulse Classic. These methods are verified through contemporary discourse and practice in the field of Chinese medicine. Morris serves as the president and CEO of the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin.

Pulse diagnosis touches upon the river of life streaming from the heart. When the diagnostician provides a space for ‘no doing’ to occur, the patient’s processes and structures in the realms of spirit, mind and body become apparent. It is not enough to articulate the various phenomena that occur within and around the vessels whether they are texture, shape, volume or features of time such as waves, rhythm and rate. As a living being sensitive and compassionate, we receive the patient in a spacious place that is free of our own fears and hopes, a place that is free of our attachments to clinical outcomes.
Eight Extraordinary Vessel and Six Channel Pulse Diagnosis
7 CEUs
Saturday, June 2, 2012
This one-day intensive explores methods for assessing the Eight Extraordinary Vessels (8EV) and the Six Channel System of Wang Shu-de. The 8EV are the vessels of the curious organs, individual constitution, and yuan qi. The 6 Channel System of Wang Shu-de is an imminently practical approach to assessing soft tissue damage and internal disorders.
Evolution, Consciousness, and Divergent Channel Treatments
7 CEUs
Sunday, June 3, 2012
Rooted in the classics, yet imminently practicable, this course takes participants into an experience that can be translated immediately to the clinic. Pulse diagnostic tools are used to explore the impact of trauma upon the individual and how this trauma is stored in the Divergent Channels. Whether physical or psychosocial, from cradle to grave, these events leave imprints upon the body and the mind. The pulse is an eloquent tool for understanding the relationship between an imprint and the tools of Chinese medicine.
