Course Overview
We’ve all studied the Shen, yet when faced with real patients struggling with trauma, psychosis, or emotional imbalance, our understanding often feels incomplete. This course finally makes the Shen both practical and applicable in clinical settings.
Through years of working in a psychiatric institute, the instructor developed an approach that brings the Shen into every treatment—not just mental health cases. You’ll learn how the Shen moves through the body, how to influence it using key acupuncture points, and how to integrate Shen work into every treatment you give. More than a philosophical exploration, this course is a hands-on guide to making spirit-level healing tangible.
The personal Perspective
I spent years in this state, particularly while working in a mental health institute. I faced countless cases of “Shen disorders,” striving to address them without a clear understanding of what the spirit truly is.
Over time, I developed a deeper connection to and understanding of the Shen. This journey not only transformed the way I approached severe mental health conditions but also reshaped the way I treated every individual who walked into my clinic.
When we deepen our understanding of the Shen, we begin to unlock the profound meaning behind the classical wisdom: “All diseases are rooted in the Shen.“
Moreover, this understanding empowers us to translate that wisdom into everyday clinical practice: “All healing originates from the Spirit.“
