Program Description

One of the most important facets of Chinese herbal medicine as found in their ben caos (materia medicas) is the use of shi-stones/rocks and kuang-metallic ores for prevention and therapeutic healing.聽 Influenced by the traditions of Chinese alchemy, these mineral substances can provoke profound changes and transformation with its recipients from internal to topical applications.聽 While stones have been also worn as amulets or ornate jewelry, their healing effects can transcend their appreciative and decorative values to 鈥渟olidify鈥� the permanence of therapeutic intentionality and application.聽 Instrumental to their long-term wearing is the qi that emanates from different stones to significantly affect one鈥檚 cultivation and realizations.聽 This weekend seminar will discuss and explore the common stones found in the Chinese materia medica, as well as developing an approach toward integrating these minerals for self-healing and in clinical use.聽
