Taking this course you will

  • Have practical ways of cultivating the three treasures (jing, qi shen/body, breath/mind) to build emotional resilience and allow us to gain some level of control over our emotions, while at the same time letting them flow freely.
  • Have a better understanding of both yourself and your patients.
  • Know how constitutional inheritance, foetal life and childhood influence lifelong emotional patterns.
  • Understand how excess anger, joy, grief, thinking, worry, anxiety, fear, fright and stress impact on our physical and mental health.

Course Overview

Learning to manage the emotions comes first in the yangsheng (nourishment of life) tradition. This is because unregulated emotions can have a real impact on our physical and mental health, and because until we have managed some level or emotional integration, it is hard for us to look after ourselves.

    A gentle knowledgeable exposition of the subject, with extensive reference material. Thank you so much Peter. Your deep appreciation of the subject and presentation style appeared to have a marked Parasympathetic effect on this humble acupuncturist.
