The High Desert Hari Society is proud to announce a workshop series the first of its kind in New Mexico, a four module series laying out Meridian Therapy (Keiraku Chiryo) as taught by Ikeda Masakazu Sensei. Elizabeth Talcott, LAc., a veteran student of Ikeda Sensei and longtime faculty of PCOM (now PCOH), will be instructing!
Over four modules, learn the fundamentals of Japanese Meridian Therapy as Ikeda Sensei! In the first module, you will learn special needle techniques unique to Ikeda Sensei’s style as well as constitutional assessment, pulse and abdominal palpatory techniques and determining the underlying root deficiency. Over the subsequent three modules, you will layer that understanding with explanations of various syndromes related to the Zang organ systems and methods for treating both root and branch manifestations.
Ikeda Sensei teaches that the disease process begins with a deficiency of Essential Qi of one of the Yin organs as noted in the 62 Chapter of the Su Wen. This underlying root deficiency will generate heat or cold which can disseminate and accumulate in various areas of the organ and meridian systems creating the branch manifestations. Identifying the underlying root deficiency as well as the patho-mechanisms that lead to an array of complaints, along with treatments corresponding to those patterns, will be the focus of the series.
Whether you are a verteran of other methods of JMT (including Hari-Style or Shudo-Style) or are brand-new to JMT, this class will advance our understandings of the pathophysiology of disease and help us to move toward more elegant and efficient treatments in the clinical setting.
Elizabeth graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics in 1981 from UC San Diego, her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1999 and Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2013, both from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM).
For 20 years she taught at PCOM, helping develop the curriculum for the teaching of Japanese Meridian Therapy and Kampo Herbal Medicine while maintaining a private practice in San Diego and raising four children.
