The "Bowen and the Meridian System" course aims to bridge the principles of Bowen Therapy (Bowtech) with the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine, offering a deeper and more holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment. By combining these two systems, therapists can enhance their practice and create more personalized, effective treatments for their clients.
Course Overview:
1. Integrating Bowen Therapy with Chinese Medicine:
• Many of the moves used in Bowen Therapy (Bowtech) are localized on key meridians and acupuncture points, making it a natural complement to the meridian system in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
• This course explores how the concepts of Chinese Medicine can enhance the understanding and effectiveness of Bowen Therapy.
• The aim is not to create a new system but to deepen the existing Bowen Technique by applying Chinese Medicine principles.
2. The Basics of Chinese Medicine:
• Yin and Yang: The foundational concept of balance in Chinese Medicine. Yin represents rest, cold, and passivity, while Yang represents activity, heat, and movement. The dynamic balance between Yin and Yang is essential for health.
• Qi (Vital Energy): Qi is the life force that flows through the meridians, sustaining the body’s functions. Blockages or imbalances in Qi flow can lead to disease.
• Jing (Essence): Jing is the essence that governs growth, development, and reproduction. It is stored in the kidneys and is crucial for longevity and vitality.
• The Five Phases (Elements): Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. This system is used to understand the relationships between organs, emotions, and nature. The Five Elements help in diagnosing the root cause of imbalances and guide treatment approaches.
3. The Meridian System:
• The meridian pathways represent channels through which Qi flows in the body. These pathways are connected to specific organs and tissues and correspond to physical and emotional states.
• By understanding the meridian system and its connections to the Five Elements, practitioners can more effectively diagnose and treat conditions by working with the energy flow in the body.
• The course covers the pathways of the meridians and the key acupuncture points located along these paths, with a particular focus on those that align with Bowen Therapy moves.
4. Bowen Therapy and Acupuncture Points:
• Many Bowen Therapy moves are designed to stimulate acupuncture points along the meridians. These points are not only located at specific anatomical areas but also correspond to the energetic pathways that influence various organs and bodily functions.
• In this course, each Bowen move on an acupuncture point will be examined in detail, including:
o Localization: Where the points are found on the body.
o Meaning and Effect: How each point relates to the body and mind, and what therapeutic effects it produces.
o Mechanism of Action: How Bowen moves can stimulate these points to restore balance and unblock energy flow (Qi).
• By understanding these acupuncture points, Bowen practitioners can customize their treatments to address specific conditions and enhance their therapeutic results.
5. Practical Applications:
• Diagnosis and Treatment: The course will cover how to diagnose based on meridian imbalances and use Bowen Therapy to restore the flow of Qi. Practitioners will learn to identify which acupuncture points to target for specific health issues.
• Therapeutic Options: The course presents various treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique needs by integrating Bowen Therapy with the meridian system. It provides new perspectives on common ailments such as musculoskeletal pain, digestive issues, emotional imbalances, and chronic conditions.
6. Practical Examples and Case Studies:
• Throughout the course, practical examples and case studies will demonstrate how to apply the concepts in real-world scenarios. These examples will illustrate how to recognize meridian imbalances and treat them with Bowen Therapy in a targeted and effective way.
• The course will also show how Bowen Therapy can be adapted to different types of patients, whether dealing with acute pain, long-term conditions, or emotional and psychological imbalances.
7. New Therapeutic Concepts for Various Complaints:
• By blending the holistic understanding of the body from Chinese Medicine with the specific techniques of Bowen Therapy, therapists will gain a wider range of therapeutic concepts. This integration offers fresh insights into how to approach and treat various conditions from a multidimensional perspective.
Key Benefits for Practitioners:
• Enhanced Diagnosis: The integration of meridian pathways and the Five Elements Theory provides a deeper diagnostic framework, allowing therapists to identify not just physical symptoms but also underlying energy imbalances.
• Personalized Treatment: Understanding how each patient’s unique energy system functions allows therapists to tailor Bowen Therapy more effectively, offering treatments that are deeply specific to individual needs.
• Holistic Approach: The fusion of Bowen Therapy and Chinese Medicine offers a more holistic view of the body, mind, and emotions, improving overall therapeutic outcomes.
Who is This Course For?
• Bowen Therapy Practitioners: Those who have completed basic BowenTech training and wish to deepen their practice by integrating Chinese Medicine.
• Therapists with Chinese Medicine Knowledge: Practitioners who are already familiar with meridians, acupuncture, and Chinese healing principles and want to incorporate Bowen Therapy into their existing practice.
Conclusion:
This course offers a fascinating journey into the integration of Bowen Therapy with Chinese Medicine, providing a new depth of understanding and therapeutic possibilities. By exploring the meridian system and acupuncture points, practitioners will be able to treat a wide range of conditions in a more tailored and effective way, addressing both physical and emotional health from a holistic perspective.
Price is 380 British pound, 520 us dollars and 450 euros.
