We will be hosting an eight-week long course on the basics of Chinese Medicine every Monday night at 8 o’clock (BST). The course is free but you can donate if you can afford to.
We will start by looking at the Theory of the Zang-Fu which is the Chinese name for the internal organs. Most of us will be familiar with the Western medical anatomical organs, the Chinese organs not only have different functions but they include organs that are not on the Western medicine map, and some familiar organs we would think are fundamental are not even classified as organs.
This is a core topic to get you started with understanding Chinese Medicine.
Why you might ask?
Well for me I did it because my teacher taught it and I wanted to learn what he was teaching. When I first started it was at a Tai Chi class and I was interested in Taoism. When I asked him if he did it he said “That’s all we do!”
One of my big stumbling blocks paradoxically was my education which stemmed from Western philosophy based firmly on Cartesian doubt. This is a method of tearing things apart until there’s nothing left. Once I encountered Chee Soo I began to realize his method was more along the lines of a jigsaw puzzle and tearing things apart was not of much use, in fact, it slowed me down considerably so I decided to become more open minded.
Chinese Medicine was at the core of his teachings I started to realize and although he was well known as a Tai Chi and Kung Fu master it was his skill at understanding and controlling energies that made him such an outstanding healer.
This course is exactly about that, Qi or energy, and if you can just get a grip on this concept, which in actual fact is a real thing and not merely a concept of the mind, it will put you on the high road to understanding everything related to the Taoist Arts and will do more than anything else to prolong your youth and protect your health into old age.
