The Interplay of Elements

In this course, I introduce the twelve aspects of the daily energetic circulation: Lung and Large Intestine, Stomach and Spleen, Heart and Small Intestine, Bladder and Kidney, Diaphragm and Umbilicus, and Gall Bladder and Liver Function Energy. We go over their circulation pathways, key concepts associated with them, their attributes, symptoms of disharmony, and sequences on how to harmonize them.

Students are expected to have taken In Movement With Jin Shin Jyutsu first, or at least to have equivalent knowledge. I have included a brief review of the Safety Energy Locks and the Depths. The class is organized into ten chapters. Each chapter includes two to three videos and a quiz to practice the presented material. I have also included videos on the Five Elemental Energy cycle (the TCM Five Element Theory) and how the various aspects of the twelve-fold Function Energy interplay and affect each other. On several occasions, I have given examples of how the Five Element Theory can help us go beyond the immediate symptoms and help us pinpoint the culprit for disharmony more effectively.

One important aspect of this class is that it gives a comparative study of the various Function Energy aspects. For example, we go over what distinguishes Kidney, Umbilicus, and Small Intestine FE in their help of ear discomforts. Cookbook recipes for flows that help this or that symptom have not been very helpful in my experience.

The final exam in the last chapter is for students who wish to test their overall knowledge and receive a certificate of completion.
