Meditation: Yin Organs, Section Four: Exploration of Heart and Kidney
by Brendan Armm

This course is Section Four of five independent sections in the Meditation: Yin Organ series. Section One will explore the Heart and Kidney.

Students will study and learn beginner and intermediate level philosophies, forms and practices of meditation. Each experiential class will primarily consist of guided or silent meditation practice, but will also include class discussion and lecture. Covering principles via exposure to traditional Taoist images of yin organs, visualizing five channel depths pertaining to each of the six meridians, exploring the five element system, deepening our understanding of yin channels utililizing the ying qi cycle and its connection with spirit cultivation, and gaining exposure to human organs by studying pictorials, the intention of this course is to empower and inspire TCM students to develop insight by building comprehensive therapeutic relationships with the six yin organs to continue a lifelong, rewarding relationship with "just sitting".

These meditations can also be taught to patients to improve their health and wellness. For those who are willing, the promise of this course and this art form is the cultivation of mind and heart. It is by way of such cultivation that a doctor may become what the ancients termed a "Superior Physician".
