Teishin and Enshin seminar Malmö
Dr. Bob Quinn is finally back for a unique 3 days hands-on seminar in the style of 'Dr Bear'!
About the seminar:
Iwashina Anryu Sensei was a unique pioneer in Japanese acupuncture. He sadly passed a few years ago. For the last three decades of his practice, he had abandoned insertive needling and chose to work with gold and silver teishins. He had earlier spent 13 years in the Toyohari style, which equipped him to work at an extremely gentle level. (He was blind, like many in Toyohari, though not from birth; he lost his eyesight in a car accident when he was 21.) The quality of his touch and his refined Qi sensibility undoubtedly trace back to this early Toyohari training.
Iwashina Sensei was called Dr. Bear, a name given to him by one of the leaders of the Blackfeet Indian tribe. Dr. Bear cured the chief’s longstanding asthma, which began with chemical exposure in the Vietnam War. In a full moon ceremony, the tribal members bestowed on him the name Dr. Bear. They declared that the style of medicine he practiced was “bear medicine,” thus the name, Dr. Bear. Bears are tender mothers but also fierce defenders who will fight to the death to protect their young. Since that time, he often attended Sundance ceremonies where he would set up a tent for a week and give free treatments to Native Americans.
When Bob Quinn, the instructor for this course, first met Dr. Bear, his initial question for him was: ”When you started to use the teishin, how long was it before you achieved good clinical outcomes?” Without hesitating a moment, he replied: “In less than a month, my results were better than they had ever been.” I really took notice of this bold claim. In fact, in that first seminar with him in San Jose, he gave Bob a treatment that completely resolved a longstanding complaint. The problem never returned.
Dr. Bear was a classical scholar, and his style has a lot of thinking to it. He was very interested in climactic factors, for instance. The meridian therapy, five-phase focus of his earlier years in practice was entirely abandoned. He developed other ways of orienting his clinical thinking.
There are certain elements of his style that can be adopted into other ways of practicing without going into the depth of his scholarship. Four of those will be explored in the upcoming Malmö webinar: The check-method, an enshin tapping technique for the abdomen and low back, five sets of yin-yang channel pairs that he used in half his cases that come from his understanding of Nanjing, Chapter 33, and his idea of “fundamental treatment.” (Not to be confused with the meridian therapy concept of root treatment).
When these elements of the Dr. Bear style are mastered, our clinical effectiveness experiences a quantum leap. This seminar was offered last year in Berlin to very good reviews. Numerous participants have stayed in touch with Bob about their implementation of these four elements in their clinical practices, and they are so excited to see how effective Dr. Bear’s ideas were.
_________
Sedan 1999 har Bob studerat ett antal japanska akupunkturstilar, särskilt japansk meridianterapi (Shudo- och Toyohari-stilar), Shakujyu-terapi, Koshi-balansering, Yin-Yang kanalbalansering och Dr. Bear-stil. Han har också studerat japanska moxatekniker i stor utsträckning med Junji Mizutani, en känd mästare och forskare. Han har också arbetat tätt ihop med en av västvärldens främsta experter inom kinesisk örtmedicin, Heiner Fruehauf. Han har jobbat som professor och supervisor på School of Classical Chinese Medicine vid National University of Natural Medicine i Portland, Oregon.
Bob kan betraktas som mästare i sin egen rätt och det är därför väldigt glädjande att få Bob tillbaka till Sverige för detta seminar.
Kursen innehåller till en stor del praktiska element där palpering, nålteknik, punktlokalisering tränas. Viss kunskap inom meridianlära och kinesisk medicin förutsätts.
