What Do You Do When You Don’t Know What to Do?

What Do You Do When You Don’t Know What to Do?

Course Overview

In this thought-provoking TCM.ac Talk, Dr. Yair Maimon takes on a question that resonates with every practitioner: What do you do when you don’t know what to do in the clinic? Drawing from decades of experience and insights gathered from practitioners around the world, Dr. Maimon explores the journey from uncertainty to clarity in clinical practice.

Rather than fearing uncertainty, he invites us to embrace it as a crucial element of true healing. Through the lens of Chinese medicine’s multidimensional perspective—balancing heaven, qi, and earth—he introduces three time-honoured approaches used by great masters to navigate moments of doubt.

This talk provides both philosophical depth and practical takeaways: from Wu Wei (the power of non-doing and deep listening), to harmonising qi through tried-and-tested acupuncture strategies, to stabilising the foundations of health by working with the body’s yuan-source points.

Packed with wisdom, compassion, and clinical pearls, this talk is more than just a lecture—it is a reassuring guide to trust, presence, and effective action in the face of uncertainty. Perfect for practitioners at any stage of their journey, this is one talk you’ll want to return to time and again.

This TCM.ac Talk has been produced from materials recorded at the ICCM Congress. The ICCM arranges a yearly outstanding international TCM gathering which is held in Tel Aviv during the Vernal Equinox, in March, every year.
