Thursday 4th May - Sunday 7th May

Sharda Centre, Auckland

​

Five element acupressure is a bodywork modality whose technique is inspired by Japanese shiatsu; which utilises the understandings of modern psychology including Reichian concepts of segmental armouring; and is set squarely within the framework fo the five element model of chinese medicine.

​

In this retreat you will learn some five element acupressure treatment patterns based on the method of pairing acupoints in synergistic combinations. Patterns will include:

​

• A treatment for the head, neck and shoulders based on Gallbladder, Tripple Heater and Small Intestine channels

• A treatment of the lumbar region based on Bladder channel

• Two treatment patterns for the pelvic segment based on Bladder and Gallbladder channels

• Several treatments for the lower extremities based on the three Yang meridians of the leg

• A subtle pattern for the central channel that addresses the deeper energies of the Extraordinary Vessels of Ren and Du

​

These practical treatments will be taught against the background of the five elements. Over the course of the retreat we will explore the energies of these elements within ourselves in various natural settings. By aligning ourselves with the bivrations of each fo the elements, we can bring greater depth to our treatments.
