Directional pulse assessment is a continuation of Pulse I-III curriculum that was taught by Julia at MUIH in both the acupuncture and Chinese herbs program This class was not taught in the acupuncture program at MUIH but is considered the next step toward understanding and assessing patient pulses.
This three-hour class will teach participants directional pulse assessment as taught by Jeffrey Yuen and his senior students, notably Ann Cecil-Sterman. Directional pulse assessment uses small movements of our fingers to inquire into functionality of the organs’ vectors and relationship with each other. After this instruction, you will be able to silently ask questions of your patient’s pulses such as “Is SP Qi ascending?” “Is ST Qi descending?” or “Is LR Blood nourishing HT Blood?” etc.
