Course Overview
Not all traumatic events belong to us, they may have been transmitted by our ancestors.
This in-depth training looks into trauma passed down through generations, the role of ancestral energy, and how acupuncture can help release and process inherited memories by working with Zong Qi, or ancestral energy, as understood in Chinese medicine.
Through an understanding of the psyche’s five aspects and acupuncture strategies, you’ll learn how to support patients in healing from ancestral patterns and trauma.
