Sedna, discovered in November of 2003, is a planetary body whose energy and archetypal qualities have been embraced by astrologers, as a unique entity and by Acutonics as an integral part of our applied methodology.

Truly embodying the belief of returning art and spirit to medicine, Alicia Villamarin, Senior Acutonics Faculty and Certified Acutonics Practitioner, and Maria Romero, Acutonics Practitioner and co-founder of the WU Project, announced recently The Wu Project’s next mission to Bolivia.

From the one came the two, the Yin and the Yang. From the two came the many. This is the Taoist story of creation. The “many” encompasses all the things of the Universe. From the one source, the physical, material reality that we experience through our senses came into being as well as the vibrational, unseen reality that surrounds and infuses us. Source energy is at the core of all things. It is the “things” and what exists in the spaces between the things.

by Jude Ponton, DC, MAc, LAc & Paul Ponton, MAc, LAc, Senior Licensed Acutonics Teachers and Certified Acutonics® Practitioners Summer is the time of the Fire Element and of the Heart, associated with love, compassion, gratitude, caring, nurturance, joy, appreciation, kindness, and selflessness.

I am pleased to announce that I am an invited presenter at this year’s Building Bridges of Integration for Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference, October 11-14, 2018, in Reston, VA. On Thursday evening, October 11 Maren Good and I will present an evening meditation with sound. We hope you will join us for a meditative journey through the Universe accompanied by Sun, Moon, and Earth gongs.

Summer is a perfect time to focus on and nurture the fire element and the heart energy. In Chinese Medicine, the heart is more than just a pump for pushing blood through the arteries. The heart’s energy and spirit also include aspects that Western Medicine attributes to the brain. The mental functions of thinking, memory and consciousness are all processes related to the shen the spirit associated with the heart.

We take a visit to the Song Dynasty in China. Donna Carey and Ellen Franklin take us on a tour 1000 years into the past, to the golden age of Chinese Medicine. They immerse us in the cultural setting that encouraged our medicine to flourish – science, the arts, technology, the economy, the military, philosophy, cultural values, international relations, and, of course, medicine – so that we can understand why it flourished then, and they compare what happened during the Song to what is happening in China today.

Discussions of the Liver from a Chinese medicine perspective often focus on pathologies. That is, what happens when there is an imbalance in the Liver energy causing qi stagnation, overacting of the Liver on other energy systems in the body, Liver blood deficiency patterns and, over the past few years the involvement of Liver heat in creating chronic inflammatory conditions in the body.

We are very excited to be journeying to The Mothership this summer, June 15 & 16th, to combine a long overdue visit with the presentation of a new class, Harmonic Alchemy.

n recognition of the Lunar Year of the Dog we thought it appropriate to create a reminder of the benefits of Acutonics for our dog friends. We can employ our forks to treat specific imbalances or simply as a periodic “tune up” to maintain energy flow and well-being.
