Gentle Abdominal Acupuncture

Course overview

In this fully video-based presentation, Roger Batchelor presents a hybrid approach to Abdominal Acupuncture that combines classical Chinese teachings with Japanese Zen Shiatsu. In this approach we see a the use of a bagua superimposed on the abdomen and a modern method developed in Nanjing of a turtle's body overlaid on the abdomen. He explains how in Nanjing this abdominal style has replaced the use of the scalp in treating stroke patients. Roger details the classical origins of Abdominal Acupuncture and describes this hybrid microsystem's ability to effectively treat many areas of the body. Roger describes and demonstrates specific techniques and means of treatment used in Abdominal Acupuncture, combining around one hour of lecture material with about 30 minutes of demonstration.
