Day 1: Balance the Nervous System with Tools from Chinese Medicine (Chi Constraint)
In this class, discover the approach of Chinese Medicine to balancing the nervous system. A tense nervous system is Chi Constraint (explored in this class); while a weak nervous system (explored in Day 2) is Chi Deficiency. Chi Constraint may manifest as shoulder-neck tension, insomnia, digestive tension, hyper-rigidity ("Type A" personality), or menstrual cramps. Here you will learn an Aroma Acutouch sequence, using essential oils on Acupressure points, to relieve each of the manifestations of Chi Constraint. Matching the energetic and functional use of the oil to that of an Acupressure point offers a powerful and synergistic mode for restoring balance to the nervous system.
Essential oils needed for this class are provided. If students wish to purchase essential oils to take home for use in their practice they can do so.

Here you will learn an Aroma Acutouch sequence, using essential oils on Acupressure points, to relieve each of the manifestations of Chi Deficiency. Matching the energetic and functional use of the oil to that of an Acupressure point offers a powerful and synergistic mode for restoring balance to the nervous system.
