Body Memories and Beliefs in Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture for the Treatment of the Hidden Roots of Disease - Module 6

Course overview

The body is both a source and a storage site for the emotions, especially after a trauma. Overwhelming traumatic events are subconsciously retained by Hun and Po. The reactivation of these subconscious emotional and physical memories, are experienced as a variety of psychological and physical manifestations, quite often unrelated to a given situation. These conditions may range from unexplained physical pains or physiological reactions, to emotional or psychological manifestations as seen in phobias, personality disorders, panic attacks or PTSD, just to mention a few. Furthermore, these subconscious memories contribute to the formation of mental patterns and Belief mechanisms. Acupuncture strategies for releasing the Body memories constitute an important stage of treating the Hidden Roots of Disease.
