David White Teaching in the United States
David White will host the seminar at the New School of Acupuncture, 382 c Manukau Rd, Epsom. The seminar will focus on specific primary channel diagnostic methods and needling techniques as described in the 2000 year old Huangdi Neijing (黃帝內經). David will take the participants through the language of the Neijing with distinct attention to the rare, yet highly applicable, Renying / Cunkou pulse diagnosis method. This pulse and channel palpation method allows for the practitioner to know which channel / vessel is impaired in addition to giving the body a clear directional message for healing. David will also cover the 26 needling techniques of Lingshu, Chapter 7.
Day One:
• An overview of the Huangdi Neijing, background studies and key terminology and disease presentations.

• Practical session of pulse palpation.
Day Two
• Continuation of Renying / Cunkou pulse diagnosis.
• Channel palpation and inspecting the countenance in detail.
• Bridging diagnosis and treatment: focus on key needling techniques from Lingshu chapter 7, including channel and tissue specific techniques.
• Case Study analysis.
