Qi and Transformation: Working Effectively with Resistance and Change
Emotional and psychological issues are often primary factors in the health concerns of Westerners. These factors influence not only how we experience illness, but also our capacity for getting well. Knowing how to work effectively with the psyche is an important specialty within the practice of Oriental Medicine.
Integrative Psychology for Oriental Medicine was developed by Kamala Quale, LAc and Lorena Monda, DOM. What Integrative Psychology offers, (and what we see missing in many other approaches) is the ability to form an assessment and treatment not only from a theoretical model, but also from the study of patient’s direct experience of themselves and how they organize that experience to meet the world.
Exploring the immediate physical, mental, and emotional experience of the patient often reveals the hidden factors underlying an illness. The key is to help the patient turn the mind toward their present experience. When the underlying process become conscious, the necessary steps toward healing become clear.
There are precise, learnable methods to help one do this. These methods can be easily integrated into our Oriental Medicine practices. They empower our patients, and make us more effective practitioners.
Classes in this series include:
The Direct Experience of Qi
The Language of the Body
Mind and Emotions
Qi and Transformation
Each class teaches basic skills around a specific focus. After each class you will have skills that you can put into practice immediately.
