Alchemy of the Upper Dan Tien: Exploring the Nine Palaces

Course overview

In this three-hour presentation, Randine Lewis will discuss the significance of the upper dan tien and its relationship to the other two Cinnabar fields. Continuing the journey through the Inner Warp, we will focus on the upper dan tiens role in governing the entire endocrine system. Participants will learn about the nine palaces (nine heart pains) and evaluate their significance in their own life journey. We will explore the personal and clinical psycho-spiritual healing offered through this symbolic map of the cranium, its relationship to hormonal balance, and how it represents a guiding force on our path. We will also explore the healing potential of the nine palaces in a clinical setting, not only for discussion with our patients, but how to correlate the palaces to specific acupoints.
