Tung’s Points with Susan Johnson

June 13-14, Beginning 3

Master Tung Ching-chang has been referred to as “The greatest acupuncture technician who ever lived.” He was a traditional Chinese physician from the Shandong Province in Northern China and was famous for the miraculous and spontaneous results he would obtain using just a few needles. The points in Master Tung’s system do not trace their origin to the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic. It is an entirely separate system kept alive and perfected by the Tung family over many centuries.

The beginning series is presented over three weekends. All three weekends are devoted to detailed descriptions of point locations, functions, and indications. Each day ends with a demonstration of the acupuncture points discussed that day. The first two weekends additionally cover the energetic systems and basic theory used by Master Tung. The third weekend includes some advanced theory.
