Energy Regulation
This second course in Chinese Energetics deepens the understanding of the Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — the true pillars of traditional Eastern medical philosophy. Through this framework, students learn to view the body as a living, dynamic system in which every organ, emotion, and physiological function maintains a constant energetic dialogue with the others.
The course examines how imbalances among these elements manifest as physical, emotional, or functional disorders, and how harmony can be restored through targeted interventions. Each element is explored through its key correspondences — organs, seasons, flavors, colors, and climates — offering a holistic reading of the energetic terrain and the underlying causes of illness.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to the mapping of energy points and their clinical applications. Students learn how to select points based on specific imbalances, as well as how to apply stimulation techniques such as acupressure, moxibustion, energetic massage, and acupuncture.
At the crossroads of theory and practice, this course represents a pivotal step in the study of Chinese Energetics. It provides the tools to understand the subtle interactions within the body’s systems and to intervene with precision and sensitivity on the energetic level — always in harmony with the individual’s vital balance.
