This class looks at traumatic responses from the perspective of the Vagus nerve, the curious organs and the ancestral sinews network. The Daoist perspective on these responses opens the door for healing generational trauma.

Vagus means “wanderer,” and the Vagus nerve is the original free and easy wanderer on the inward journey connecting upper and lower, front and back, and sympathetic and parasympathetic via the ancestral sinew network. 

This class explores acupuncture treatments for traumatic holding patterns from the perspective of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, the curious organs and the ancestral sinews.
