You will activate the deepest psychological and spiritual potential of these points through an understanding of the etymology and poetry of the point names as well as flower essences, essential oils, qigong, and meditation practices that can be alchemically woven into your work with needles and herbs. In addition, you will earn 5 CEUs in Core Competency (AOM-OM) and 5 CEUs in Professional Enhancement (PE-CW) with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and/or 10 CEUs with the California Acupuncture Board.

Course Description

After more than three decades of clinical practice and teaching, Lorie is convinced that once we have met the requirements of legal, cultural, and professional standards, most boundary questions are more nuanced than absolute. In order to respond skillfully, practitioners must be able to find the truth from within their own Heart. This class offers a unique, dynamic, and highly effective heart-centered approach that will help you deal with the complex boundary issues that regularly arise in clinical practice, including issues related to trauma, sexual abuse, attachment, and the deep intimacy of the clinical encounter. Lorie draws from many perspectives, including Taoist alchemy, the Five Elements and Five Spirits, Western psychology, flower essence and essential oil therapies to offer a deeper understanding of the benefits, pitfalls, and challenges of boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. You will earn 2 CEUs in Safety and 2 CEUs in Ethics with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) for this class and/or 4 CEUs with the California Acupuncture Board.

Benefits

1. Learn tools, including spirit points, flower essences, essential oils, meditation, and mindfulness practices that will support you in creating and maintaining safe, ethical and flexible boundaries in the clinical encounter and beyond.
