Acupuncture Treatment of the Jing-Jin (“Sinew Meridians”): Intro
Anthony Von der Muhll
The classical 经筋jing-jin (“sinew meridians”) of Chinese medicine describe tracts of myofascial tissues that roughly follow the jing-luo (“primary meridians”).
Understanding the jing-jin can guide clinicians from where pain is felt, to distal and proximal locations that also may need treatment. Knowing the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments of each jing-jin, and how to examine and treat them is a valuable complement to the cross-sectional approach of contemporary orthopedics, and opens up avenues towards holistic rehabilitation from injuries, pain and disability, including:
- Decreased muscle-tendon pain and tension, and improved strength and function
- Decreased joint pain, and increased flexibility and range-of-motion
- Improved posture, movement, and whole-body biomechanics

Wu Yun Liu Qi II – Astro Climatology in the Practice of Herbal Medicine Michael
Michael Givens
This course will further introduce the cosmological, philosophical, astronomical, and medical background to the theory found in chapters 66-74 in the Huangdi neijing suwen (as edited by Wang Bing in the Song Dynasty). We will continue to explore the worldviews and perspectives from different time periods in ancient (classical and medieval) China that form a basis for the 7 Great Chapters (Qipian Dalun). We will then look at classical sources as well as the alternative fields of divination practice related to the Wuyun Liuqi practice, and the basic structures of the systems. This theory opens up the possibility of perceiving and understanding medicine from a holistic worldview beyond that of the authors, and for this reason, as well as its clinical significance and usefulness, we will explore the depths and profundity of these systems in relation to modern diseases, including epidemics. We will compare “epidemics” with the classical perspective of the “movements of heaven” (Tianxing), and conclude by looking at the Wuyun Liuqi for 2021 leading up to 2022, and the clinical prescriptions (of Wei (flavor) and Qi) that are appropriate.
