RE: Japanese acupuncture short courses

[Guest guest]

Hi Wayne,

 

Short answer to your question is no I don't know of any short courses in

Japan outside of the Toyohari summer or spring school for foreigners.

 

It would appear that some people go and study in a Master's clinic.

 

You might want to try Japan online and see if there are any leads there.

 

My intros come via the Toyohari association, we now have an Australasian

Association with a branch in Brisbane and Melbourne... entry is to have

completed the basic course. The next basic course will be available in

Christchurch NZ next year I believe (20 days over 6 months made up by three

and four day weekend courses including teaching by Stephen Birch and

Japanese Toyohari masters).

 

Completion of this basic course gives you entry into toyohari training

anywhere in the world.

 

Best wishes

I love Japan and wish to visit as a holiday and to study.

Do you know or anyone on line - any Japanese acupuncture

short seminars etc in Japan. I speak basic ( gaijin) Japanese so would

need it to be in English.

 

Does anyone know of the shinwataido in Japan. The contact details please.

Dear Wayne,

Most of my needling is now Japanese style. Including

total non-insertion of

the needle. Perhaps intention as defined in Phil's

recently mentioned

article is more important in this approach?!?

 

My Japanese training is in the style of the Toyohari

Association as well as

Manaka. As students in Toyohari we have the advantage

of having a master on

the pulse tell the person making the needle

stimulation what is happening to

the pulse. Very accelerated learning style. Others

feel the radial, foot,

temple pulse (also one can feel the pulse of the

person on the radial pulse

in a daisy chain ie many people holding each others

pulse) this way we can

also understand and can feel the change as the Master

makes the needle

stimulation.

 

To capture an idea, I would perhaps suggest that this

style of treatment is

homeopathic in approach as it treats one of four basic

yin deficient

patterns. Very good practitioners do little more than

a root treatment, the

rest of us rely more on our symptom treatment.

 

I suggest if you want to know more, the best thing to

do is to attain a

treatment of this style and see for yourself.

 

I think the best of the best of any style is all

'divine' and that it comes

down to what suits each practitioner.

 

In the Manaka style there is less concept of excess

deficient and hence

there is less attention paid to the direction of flow,

breathing etc, these

things are very important in Toyohari style.

 

If you want to know of practitioners studying and

practicing Toyohari style,

please email me your address and I will post it on the

closed Toyohari list

to find the closest practitioners.

Best regards,

needle stimulation

 

 

 

 

Xie - sedating - reducing

Bu - tonifying - reinforcing

even method

 

wonder peoples ideas on how they perform the above.

What the difference japanese stimulation is to Chinese

style

 

I read Japanese use less deep insertion and less

stimulae

what are peoples experiences have you tried both and

compared.

 

If people needle with or against flow of qi (ki) to

tonify or reduce.

 

If they needle on exhalation to tonify

insert on inhlation - to sedate

 

does this made any difference.

If the correct point is used do you think it makes so

much difference

- how much stimulation.

 

how long to people suggest needle are left in (situe)

to tonify or sedate -

 

do people cover the point with a swob after removal to

tonify and

leave open to sedate -

 

please share your thoughts.
