Cancer has become a global problem. In 1975 for example, there was 5.9 million new cases worldwide this rose to 12million new cases in 2007. If these trends continue, health officials
predict that by 2030, 17 million people will die worldwide of cancer, and 75 million people
will be living with the disease and require treatment and follow-up care. This will make cancer
the leading cause of death in the world, claiming more lives than AIDS, TB and malaria combined. It is a crisis for public health and health systems worldwide.

In Chinese Medicine cancer is considered the manifestation of du- toxins, which evolved from different aspects of heat pathology. Over time, this pathological heat process consumes the vitality and essences of the body-mind-spirit continuum. Within Chinese medicine, many
strategies have evolved to deal effectively with these toxins and rectify the pathological process.

Collectively referred to as Fu-Zheng therapy, this seminar focuses on the aetiology, pathological process, and treatment strategies involving “cancer.” In addition, Master Yuen discusses how these approaches can be integrated into conventional and other alternative medical modalities.

The Administrator of the Dominican Friary, Fr Joe Kavanagh agreed to host the lecture. It was held at The Priory Institute, St Mary’s Priory, Dublin 24, Ireland.

Daoism is the inherent religion of China and one of the oldest ongoing philosophies of the world. The tradition dates back to Lao Zi who lived during the period of the Warring States.

Its beliefs focus on the fundamental questions of life – the existence of the divine (Dao), the destiny of life (Ming), the presence of good and evil (Xian), and the guidance for the path (Dao) of living a fruitful and cultivated life.

Its theological themes are found in various texts and emphasize on the following:

• Naturalness (Zi Ran)
• Vitality (Qi)
• Non-action (Wu Wei)
• Refinement (Hua), and its
• Manifestation (De)

In this DVD master Jeffrey Yuen explores Daoism and its significance in modernity.

Healing is a natural manifestation of the body-mind-spirit continuum. As a process, it can refer to the alleviation of signs and symptoms; the movement toward completion; or simply the awareness that something needs to change in our lives. Daoism has played a major role in the development of Chinese medicine and provides important perspectives on the various aspects of health and healing. In this talk Master Jeffrey Yuen explores the evolution of Daoism and how it can be utilized to improve one’s health and healing.

During this weekend Daoist Master Jeffrey Yuen described the significant meanings, pathways (origins, convergences, sequences), and utilizations of the Yang and Yin Sinew channels (mobility, postural alignment, evaluation based onTong pain, protocols and differentiations).

Sinew channels are important pathways for conduction Wei Qi at the surface terrain to affect the skin, sinews, nerves, sensory organs and the lungs.

The sinew meridians are often associated with ashi/sensitive points and trigger points that manifest through the six zones of Tai Yang, Shao Yang, Yang Ming, Tai Yin, Shao Yin and Jue Yin. Sinew channels are based on the premise that if the exterior is strong, external pathogenic factors cannot invade and internal etiologies are given the opportunity to be released to the exterior.

The Sinew channels also express our moods and feelings somatically through the physical body. Most of us adopt postures unconsciously, unaware of what we are conveying. When we express feelings outwardly, we are activating the Yang Sinew channels, and when we suppress our feelings, we are using the Yin Sinew channels.

The sinew channels are also very important to practitioners of Toy Na, Shiatsu and Massage Therapists. These DVD’s provide you with the ability to access a system rarely used in TCM.
