It was with great pleasure through my involvement with the International Society for the Study of Classical Acupuncture (ISSCA) that I was able to spend the last two weeks studying, translating, and presenting classical acupuncture.
ISSCA is group of dedicated students, teachers, and practitioners focused on the study of classical acupuncture for the purpose of rekindling classical Chinese medicine, thought, and philosophy. This year we held the Annual Scholar’s Retreat in Washington State at the Trout Lake Abey. A beautiful part of the world and home to a Buddhist monastery nestled at the base of Mount Adam, the Abey was the perfect place for scholarly discussion, intense learning, and fun.
My presentation this year was on the Renying / Cunkou pulse diagnosis method of the Huangdi Neijing. For all my patients out there, this is the diagnosis method I use when palpating your neck and wrist at the same time. This is a method which has fallen to the wayside in modern times.
The following are some of the photos of the retreat, however, for more please either visit my personal or ISSCA’s facebook page.
In Good Health,
David White Classical Acupuncture
