Integrating Tibetan Medicine into Acupuncture Practice & Compassionate Patient Care

Parts 4 & 5  of our continuing course on Tibetan Medicine features a review of previous topics and will introduce extensive new materials! We will primarily focus on:

• The preventive perspective of Tibetan medicine (from Chapter 5 of the four medical tantras (rgyud bzhi): the digestive fire
  
• A discussion of the morals and ethics for practitioners to promote more compassionate health care providers and enrich each provider’s intellectual spirit in order to reduce the epidemic of “burnout syndrome” in most of the major hospitals in the US
• The life cycle and end of life care, as viewed through Tibetan Medicine
• The preliminary Tibetan Medicine practice called Yantra yoga, the knowledge of healing through correcting the flow of the breath

Renowned Tibetan Physician Dr. Kunchok Gyaltsen will lead this course along with
Menpa Yangdron Kalzang LAc, Menpa Matthew Smookler, and Luke Karamol.
