What is Neoclassical Pulse Diagnosis?

Neoclassical Pulse Diagnosis is a powerful system of pulse diagnosis that is deeply rooted in the classics (especially the Mai Jing). This method was developed by Dr. Wil-liam Morris and it is a systematic integration of classical anatomical approach to pulse taking along with channel-based methods of assesment.

Neoclassical Pulse Diagnosis is based on an understanding of complementary positions and spacial correlations of the individual pulse positions. It allows one to diagnose channel involvements (Extraordinary Ves-sels, 6-channel) as well as various temporal cycles (Ying Qi and Wei Qi cycles) and five-el-ement imbalances. Some have called it an ‘acupuncturist’s pulse diagnosis,’ as it can accurately diag-nose channel imbalances. Once proficient in this system, the pulse can guide one immediately to a specific acupuncture point that will not only bring balance to the pulse, but also instantly shift the patient’s experi-ence—whether by decreasing pain, increas-ing range of motion, changing their internal state of consciousness, or bringing about other noticeable shifts.

What You Will Learn

Foundations Workshop

In this 2-day seminar, practitioners will learn and practice pulse diagnosis methods that identify involvements of the eight extraordinary vessels and the six channels, as well as the Com-pass Method for finding five-element imbalanc-es with the organs.

• These vessels share all functions of the kid-neys, which includes the endocrine system, hematopoietic system, central nervous system, reproductive system, and the urinary tract. This broad-reaching set of influences can be called ‘trans-systemic’.

• They also influence the vascular system, di-gestive system and respiratory tract, as well as the musculo-skeletal system.

• The most prominent feature that indicates this diagnostic method is an overwhelming event or trauma, even if in the past, and particu-larly when related to the current presentation.

Advanced Workshop*

Building on the knowledge and the techniques introduced in the Foundations workshop. Prac-titioners will progress and advance their knowl-edge of Neoclassical Pulse Diagnosis.

• How to identify and treat blockages in the Ying Qi and Wei Qi cycle.

These methods are clinically useful for address-ing insomnia and sleep issues, allergies and Wei Qi issues, as well as pain that comes and goes throughout the day or night.

* Attendees must complete the foundations workshop before attending the advanced course
