Edward will deal with the subject of blockages in the context of Oriental medicine. These blockages are to be found not only in the Patient but within the Practitioner. This seminar will investigate:
  1. the meaning, manifestation and treatment of Blood Stagnation; Accumulation Disease; Concentrations; and Stagnation within Deficiency (false stagnation).
  2. blockages to learning and development in the practitioner.

Edward will:
  • use the prism of the various Stagnations to illustrate understanding of pathology, symptoms and treatment.
  • draw on various classical sources, particularly Nan Jing & Su Wen; 
  • discuss, demonstrate & teach techniques and skills
  • discuss sticking points and blockages in the development of practitioners skills and knowledge
You will:
  • learn to recognise, understand, diagnose and treat all types of stagnation and blockage in the context of symptoms & pathology.
  • arrive at better understanding of the classical syndromes.
  • develop the tools for continuing development and increased effectiveness in your practice.
  • gain freedom to creatively select your own approach to best deal with the circumstance of the patient before you.
  • learn & practice the skilful use of both fine needles and Chinese.
  • learn & practice effective point selection; needling techniques & moxa techniques.
It is Edward Sensei's goal that no attendee leaves the seminar without gaining a more solid foundation in classical theory and practical competence.

   "The most important thing for me is to talk, demonstrate and teach the things that are useful in 
actual practice. The most efficient way is to approach this in terms of general principles.
 

       People seem to think that I am generating clinical practice from the classics. This seems to be true, 
      but it is not  what I am setting out to do. Rather, I am freely expressing myself in my clinical practice. 
               As part of my freedom and indeed essential to it, is awareness. This awareness leads me to 
understand that it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel. 
 
            The "wheels" of Oriental medicine are to be found in the classics. They are the general principles and, 

using them, the vehicle that we have to explore Oriental medicine. This was given to me by 
my teacher Masakazu Ikeda sensei. I would like to be able to pass this freedom on to you."
