The author of the Shen Nong Ben Cao, China's oldest herbal text, stated that the highest type of medicine helped humans fulfill their destiny, the middle type helped them nourish the constitution, and the lowest type treated physical illness. Today, treating people for the nourishment of original nature and the fulfillment of destiny represents an important inner tradition which has been all but lost in the modern practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The intention of Lonny's teaching is to give a student core grounding in the perspective of the Inner Tradition. Constitutional diagnosis will be examined as an organizing framework that yields deep insights into each patient's destiny and the path of their healing. The inner functions of acupuncture points will also be discussed; through an exploration of the rich imagery found within the point names.
Traditional diagnosis will be covered in detail during the first two and half days, including an orientation toward the pulse from the perspective of the inner tradition. The last day and a half of the course will be clinical in nature and Lonny will diagnose 3 patients in front of the class. This will involve 2 full intakes and one full pulse diagnosis. A complete analysis of each patient will follow including a detailed treatment plan. Participation in this class is suitable for practitioners from any tradition and level of training who wish to deepen their perspective on the art of their practice.

* Chinese medicine as a science of conscious awareness.
* Destiny and Constitutional Type.
