Acupuncture Point Combinations for the Heart Shén

and Emotional Turmoil

Workshop by David Hartmann

From experience, when a Chinese medicine practitioner searches for content on how to treat emotions and mental health conditions (for our medicine), two key things occur. The first, is that there is a significant lack of content; the second, is that the content available is too foundational.

I have been in practice since 1993 and treating mental health is my special interest, yet I rarely see patients that present with one of the seven main emotions as their primary complaint. Sure, I have had patients with anger issues, grief, sadness and manic joy, but depression and anxiety are much more prevalent in my clinic. What I also see are more complex mental/emotional disorders including self-esteem issues, procrastination, timidity, shyness, and countless others. Because of this complexity, we need to think ‘outside the box’ when constructing acupuncture point combinations.

Inhoud/Content

In this workshop we will analyse and discuss acupuncture point combinations for:

Heart Shén
Pericardium (Xīn Bāo)
Depression
Anxiety, phobias, panic attacks
Decision making issues – impulsive, hasty, indecisive
Poor memory, ‘Writer’s Block’
Timidity and shyness (withdrawn and passive)
Self-esteem issues – including the concepts of ‘External Skin’ and ‘Internal Skin’
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Addictions – in particular cigarettes/nicotine, alcohol and opiates/opioids
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Hypervigilance
General every-day stress, overwhelm and frustration.

Further, we will be looking at the concept of Heart ‘Joy and Contentment’ through the lens of Chinese medicine concepts/point combinations and philosophical ideals (both Western and Eastern), including:

Pandora’s Box
Tiān Dì Rén (天地人) – Heaven Earth Human
Wǔ Shén (五神) – Five Spirits
Tiān Mìng (天命) – Heavenly Mandate
Dào (道) – Path, Road, Way
Yù (玉) – Jade (Perfectly Imperfect)
Jūn Zǐ (君子) – Perfect Person

Doelstellingen/Objectives

The training is aimed at teaching technical knowledge and exact-scientific knowledge and its application in the acupuncture training published on onderwijskiezer.be
De opleiding is gericht op het aanleren van technische kennis en & exact-wetenschappelijke kennis en de toepassing ervan in de acupunctuuropleiding gepubliceerd op onderwijskiezer.be

This workshop will also have plenty of practical application, where participants can apply these acupuncture point combinations on each other.

So, if you want a workshop that gives you content that is difficult to find, look no further. I am super excited to share my knowledge, clinical experience and my favourite acupuncture point combinations for the different mental health conditions. I hope you will join me!
