Channel Interactions and Holography
(Previously Unified Acupuncture Theory Foundations)

A single unifying theory to navigate channel interactions with the use of image thinking

Main clinical application – pain and musculoskeletal disorders

In UAT Foundations course you learn the principles of:

• Dr. Tan’s Balance Method
• Distal Needling with Imaging and Mirroring
• Master Tong’s Acupuncture
• Japanese Meridian Theory
• Applied Channel Theory that will give you rapid clinical results.

Based on the I-Ching, Yin/Yang and Classical TCM theory you get a clear understanding of how channels interact using 6 different systems. Upon completion of the course you will be able to immediately apply the learned principles in your clinic and integrate them into your pre-existing knowledge of acupuncture.

The theory taught in the Dance of the Channels course is combined with the 4 Needles 5 Elements Saam Acupuncture and Abdominal Palpation, giving you a complete system of treating Zang-Fu patterns. The abdominal palpation technique gives you an objective diagnosis and the means to immediately verify the efficacy of your treatment. Saam Acupuncture gives a simple 4-needle approach to treating the internal disorders. The system is further expanded by diagnosing and treating Shen patterns, which gives a unique approach to addressing emotional well being and balance of the patient.

While other UAT courses are rooted in Yin/Yang and Five Element theories, this course delves deeper into the uses of the I-Ching. The I-Ching’s richness and complexity can lead to profound and long-lasting changes in the patient. Even though the I-Ching is a vast and dense subject, this course breaks down the basic use in acupuncture and makes it accessible. When used with other courses of the UAT System, a complete system emerges that allows the practitioner to treat a large array of conditions that are presented in the clinic.

Going more in depth into I-Ching style acupuncture. This course focuses on how the external environment influences the internal well being of the person. Being able to identify the cyclical systems in the body and help the patient to be in line with the cycles promotes deep healing.

Going further in-depth in the use of Nan Jing Acupuncture. This course solidifies and deepens understanding of how the internal world interacts with the environment.

Upon completion of the course a Master UAT Practitioner and Trainer certificate is awarded.
