The ming men is the very basis of our vitality.
We depend fully on the ming men for our personal health.
Establishing a healthy function of the ming men is also paramount to helping our patients heal.
As practitioners of qi medicine – acupuncture, external qi healing, medical qigong – we need to have a firm grasp of what the Ming Men is in order for us to assist our patients’ healing in the best possible way.
This course will seek to establish a basis for understanding the ming men and its close relationship with the xin bao and the san jiao regarding physiology, pathology as well as in more practical terms.
In this real time event we will discuss
- Establishing a basic understanding of the ming men as the root of our physiology.
- Exploring yin qi and yang qi from a different perspective and in relation to ming men.
- Understanding how the xin bao and the san jiao are functions of the ming men and how they are connected to yin qi and yang qi.
- Seeing how the xin bao, san jiao and the ming men in fact are what constitutes the meridian system.
- Understanding pathology of xin bao, san jiao and ming men better and how to apply this understanding in clinic.

Your Instructor For This Class
I was introduced to acupuncture in 1996 while undertaking studies in Korean language and culture in Seoul, South Korea. One acupuncture treatment with a few needles on the opposite leg of the knee that I had injured during martial arts practice took away my knee pain instantly and completely. This experience changed my life around – from the first needle I had a new destination. I had to learn acupuncture.
After returning to Copenhagen, Denmark, from Korea, I started studying TCM. I went into private practice immediately after graduating, but didn’t find the TCM style of acupuncture a good match for me so I started looking at different styles of acupuncture and Japanese Meridian Therapy showed up on my radar. I was very fortunate to be accepted as a student of Ikeda Masakazu Sensei. He instilled in me a deep respect for the classics and showed me how to think in terms of basic principles and how to be pragmatic about them. I really owe him my practice.
Now I practice acupuncture based on Meridian Therapy diagnostic- and needling techniques, guided by the classics and incorporating the very powerful protocols of Korean Saam acupuncture. …and after 17 years of practice I am still having fun in the clinic every day.
