Study path

Study acupuncture and shiatsu: 7 weeks

Seven open classes to memorise meridians, locate points and keep shiatsu maps apart. This is study material: it does not diagnose, treat or grant a diploma.

The seven weeks

01
The 12 meridians, plus Ren and Du
Names, element and clock order. Open each channel sheet before memorising isolated points.
02
Cun, bone and the 3D body
Bone landmark first, then the cun. The cun guide and the atlas check the same sentence from your notes.
03
Six points asked for in class
LI4, ST36, SP6, LR3, PC6 and GB20: local code, WHO code, region and 3D sheet. One session, one point.
04
Yuan, luo, back-shu and mu
One family per session. The dictionary list links the sheet; you do not need to copy all 361 points.
05
Namikoshi and Masunaga, kept apart
Tsubo and kata on one side; extended meridian, hara and kyo/jitsu on the other. The TCM map stays on its own layer.
06
Hara, kyo/jitsu and the meridian clock
Study listening on the abdomen, the kyo/jitsu pair and the hourly cycle. The clock has its own guide.
07
Quiz, flashcards and exam review
Close the path with the quiz, the flashcards and the 3D challenge. The exam guide orders the review; it does not promise a diploma.

Questions

Pages for search and for forwarding to the group. Each one returns to a sheet, a channel or the 3D body.

Is this a diploma course?: No. It is a path of notes on the public atlas. A school's classroom, with students and assignments, lives on the campus and is not indexed.
Where do I start if I have one week, not seven?: On the first-week guide. Then come back here and continue with the channel that was hardest.
Does it replace a school or a treatment?: No. It is for studying codes, pathways and layers. Professional practice stays with the school and its regulation.

Study reference within traditional Shiatsu/TCM frameworks. Does not diagnose or treat.
