Saturday Evening Lecture
“The Chinese Energetics of Food”
THE CHINESE ENERGETICS OF FOOD
With Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
This evening lecture is a brief, yet concise, explanation of the Chinese perspective about foods. In Oriental medicine all foods, as with the whole body-mind, contain different “energy” natures that are released through digestion for “nourishing” our being. By using terms such as “heating,” “cooling,” “dampening,” “drying,” “ancient,” and “modern,” we can begin to see how to use foods for different conditions and in different times of the years. We can also express the energy nature of the foods by their Five Transformational qualities. This lecture will give you new clarity and insights about everyday foods that will enrich your understanding. |

Empowering the 2nd Half of Life
With Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
From its earliest beginnings, Oriental medicine recognized that health is the key to long life. Rather than seeking an elusive Fountain of Youth, it combined various elements of health practices to promote everyone’s wellbeing and thereby create longevity. Controlling and nourishing the jing, our original essence, is a core focus. At the same time, lifestyle factors and environmental influences can deplete this core essence. These not only remain relevant in modern times but are having ever greater weakening effects. Learn what these are and how to protect yourself. While some of the longevity approaches are very exotic and even toxic, there are many that we can employ for our own greater wellness. We will explore some of the most useful, including special exercises, breathing practices, dietary changes, acu-pressure points and more. |

“Fire & Water: Finding Balance in the Extremes”
Fire & Water: Finding Balance in the Extremes
With Michael Rossoff
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The summer is Fire energy season, when heat can be dangerous and more difficult to balance. This is the season when more heart attacks and heat strokes occur, and excess perspiration can lead to extreme electrolyte imbalances—all of which can cause serious damage to the heart and kidneys. Since the Heart is the seat of the Spirit, any injury here can affect everywhere. How to eat and drink properly to keep wellness secured is more challenging during the summer. You choices in the summer will have direct effects for maintaining your best health in the coming fall. We will look at the best ways to eat and drink for these issues. Plus, we will explore the positive power of Fire energy for action, passion and clarity (vs. chaos, negativity and confusion). Now is the perfect time to create your healthier self!

Oriental Diagnosis: How the Exterior Reveals the Interior of the Body & Mind
With Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
This one-day workshop introduces two methods of diagnosis unique to Oriental medicine. They are tongue and pulse diagnoses. Tongue diagnosis reflects the Blood and the overall condition of the body and in particular the digestive system. Pulse diagnosis is more related to the Qi (Ki) of the 12 meridians of the body. The basic skills for observing the tongue (visual diagnosis) and taking the pluses (touch diagnosis) can easily be learned in this introductory session. Each method provides a foundation for refinement through practice.
These diagnostic tools fit into a useful framework that comes from Oriental medicine’s simple, yet multi-layered paradigms of yin-yang, 12-organ energies and five transformations. These will be concisely explained along with discussion on the connection of the body to mind and emotions. When put together—the diagnoses plus the broad ways of understanding their meaningfulness—they can open many doors of insight into the realms of healing.
There will be ample time to practice each diagnostic method and there will be time for discussion. Handouts will be provided. |
