The transport points are rich in story, function, connection and seem to have a capacity for engaging qi in profound ways as it flows from the tips of the fingers and toes, up to the elbows and knees. Lou points are particularly interesting as they both connect yin and yang channels.
In this conversation with Sean Tuten we investigate the capacity of the luo channels to act as a first defense against overwhelming experiences that come from the outside. How they both protect against and can storage pathogenic influences. More importantly, the kind of treatment that removes these obstructive influences.
Listen into this conversation on time streams, channel dynamics and understanding pathology as a useful response by the body.
In This Conversation We Discuss:
- Sean's journey into Chinese medicine and starting an HIV clinic in Zimbabwe
- The impact of Zimbabwe on Sean's perception of the world and embracing minimalism
- The societal misconception of busyness as a virtue and the value of stillness
- Acupuncture as a tool for self-reflection and addressing spiritual needs
- Moving overwhelming experience into latency as a way to breath-in breath-out cope with the overwhelming
- Relationship of sinew channels and luo points in dealing with external challenges
- Because of the dynamics of latency, we are living in different time streams
- The significance of addressing challenges in the present moment with acupuncture treatments
- Critical importance of clinical judgment and understanding pathology as a useful response by the body
- Cultivating a clear line of communication between the spirit and heart in treatments
To be healthy you gotta make babies, make art, or both.
Sean Tuten, L.Ac
I have been practicing Chinese medicine since August of 2002. In 2000, I formed a 501(c)3 non-profit organization called the Village Health Project with Dr. Elizabeth Checchio whose mission was to work with local grassroots organizations and n’angas (traditional healers) in Zimbabwe to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in southern Africa. The project ran for 8 years.
I have been teaching in the U.S. and internationally since 2004 as an associate professor at Southwest Acupuncture College, a continuing education provider for Golden Flower Chinese Herbs, and, since 2016, as the founder and director of the Classical Acupuncture Mentorship.
I maintain a private practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
