Overview

Experience Auricular Medicine
Living Protocols!

As a successful practitioner with a busy practice, you have little time to dive into a new modality. This is why CIAM presents, Experience Auricular Medicine — an opportunity to get inspired through hands-on practice guided by demonstrations across all levels of auricular practice. 

This is your introduction to…

  • Enhanced, advanced, & master class approaches (levels 1-3)
  • Living Auricular Protocols for various conditions
  • The Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS)
  • An expanded map of ear points, including for emotional/psychological conditions
  • Assessment and treatment possibilities using laser frequencies
  • Pinpointing dysfunctional stored energy (negative Qi) to identify emotional roots of PTSD - releasing traumas!

VAS Confidence Building Workshop

The Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) is a technique used to read autonomic nervous system responses to stimuli (including laser frequencies). The VAS offers a means for pulse-guided assessment that can make the difference between an educated guess and gaining access to the most privileged information the nervous system has to offer.

Your hands-on practice in this confidence-building workshop will be guided by demonstrations covering various contexts (e.g. for many clinical approaches). All designed for you to gain a breadth of experience and develop solid grounding in VAS palpation.

  • Find and validate active points on the ear
  • Detect VAS over areas of scars, inflammation, other dysfunctions
  • Check for food and environmental in-tolerances
  • Learn useful clinical applications for VAS

Want to take one course separately?
We recommend these are taken as one course, however if you can only attend one, we can accommodate you - choose the link below.
