Clinical results through studying the classics: Improve your skills in diagnostics, acupuncture treatment, and disease identification by studying the medicine of the Huangdi Neijing Lingshu 黃帝內經靈樞 For over two millennia the Lingshu Jing 靈樞經 has been the foundational reference text for acupuncture theory and practice. However, despite this impact, as a medical system much of the contents of the Lingshu pertaining to clinical practice fell by the wayside. This course aims to take participants through the principles of Lingshu acupuncture while building their repertoire of palpatory and observable diagnostics, pathology identification within the complete channel system, and precise, level based needling methodologies. The INR Clinical Neijing Program will not only connect students with the origin of acupuncture, but will build their study and practice rooted in the needling classic. Every approach taught in this course comes not only from the text but from a lasting lineage of Neijing acupuncture, specifically the last 80 years of clinical practice on hundreds of thousands of patients in the practice of David White and his teachers. In summary students will learn: Foundational knowledge of the Lingshu, its theory and practice, philological analysis and clinical reasoning, classical textual scaffolding, Lingshu Zhenyan or mantra, and more. Detailed diagnostics: pulse palpation not only at the wrist, but the entire circulatory system. This includes a focus on Renying / Cunkou (unilateral channel circulatory assessment), Sanbu Jiuhou (positional circulatory assessment), and Qikou (ventral cavity circulatory assessment). Needling methods of the Lingshu Jing, a specialty of David White’s, where level based and precise needling are discussed in correlation with the diseases they treat. A COMPLETE study of the pathological processes of the channel system, where we work through the classical lines, through specific disease manifestations, their clinical presentations, and the approach of the Neijing. This section will form the majority of this course as we work through the various channel components and their treatment. What’s Involved? The INR Clinical Neijing Program is a dedicated practice-orientated online and face-to-face study program for those interested in developing clinical skills of the Huangdi Neijing. Participants will be guided through the material through monthly online sessions, additional Q&A sessions, and then face-to-face clinical / workshops hosted here at ICOM in the UK. How is the program structured? Initially the program will be offered in 3 instalments, with part 1 and 2 being 6 months each, and part 3 being 8 months. A dedicated discussion group will be formed for the enrolling class. Students will have constant support and connection with their instructor, David White.
