Course Overview
The embryo develops in 10 stages, which the traditional texts describe as phases in the constitution of a living being. The pregnant woman, aware of the innermost movements of blood and qi, protects herself from the risk of imbalance and supports the development of her child through appropriate behaviour in her activities, her diet, her thoughts and emotions.
In this course, we look at the dynamic proper to each of the 10 months of pregnancy as they are presented in the traditional Chinese texts; we study the relationship with the succession of the dominant meridians in the mother’s body and the alternation of the dominating Elements in the fetus.
