Course Overview
The work of a truly wholistic practitioner is to address the needs of patients at all levels. The majority of patients, aside from their physical symptoms, are often also imbalanced at the levels of mind and Spirit. Every acupuncture point has a name, translated from the ancient Chinese characters, which suggests the mental and Spiritual connotations of the point. This knowledge is essential to reach the mental and Spiritual needs of patients.

This course is an in-depth exploration into the Metal element and its Officials (organs) with Professor Neil R. Gumenick. It begins with an explanation of the three levels of a human being: body, mind, and Spirit. Neil presents a historical perspective, explaining how the Spirit level has become the most challenged, damaged, and in need of treatment in our present culture. He explains why the vast majority of patients are primarily imbalanced at the Spirit level, regardless of the severity of their physical symptoms, and how only treating the physical level leaves out this most crucial part.

He discusses how we diagnose the most affected and damaged level in patients - mental or spiritual - and how we use this knowledge to choose the needed points for healing the whole person. The session continues with descriptions of the Metal element as a whole, the diagnostics, functions of the two Metal Officials, particularly as they manifest at the mental and Spirit levels, and in-depth descriptions of the Spirits, meanings, and uses of selected points on each meridian: Lung and Large Intestine.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    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.

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.
