Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you donāt need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a courseāif you donāt need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series youāre interested in, but arenāt sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the āCourse Onlyā or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
The following is included:
The Umbilical Pulse - its importance, symptoms indicating when testing would be appropriate, how to test for its centeredness, and the technique for resolving if found off-center. The Akabani Imbalance - its importance, when and how to test each meridian, how to correct using acupuncture points, how to re-test to determine if the correction was successful and, if not, what to do as a further protocol. The Entry/Exit block - the most common of all blocks - how it will prevent treatment from being effective, how to detect the block on the pulses, how to resolve with acupuncture, including point location and needle technique. The Spirit Level block - its presence, usually as a result of trauma, can substantially prevent treatment from being effective. Participants will learn how to detect this block and points to resolve it.
Please note that Detecting and Removing Energetic Blocks - Course 1 is a prerequisite to this course.

Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
