Energy Acupuncture Seminar, Menla Mountain, October 23rd -26th 2018:
Are Thoresen was back in the Hudson Valley continuing to teach in his rapidly evolving method of acupuncture to eliminate disease. This course built upon Are's earlier teachings about treating the excess and the deficiency, leading us forward to treat the middle, the good and healthy energy of the body, or the Christ energy if you want. This middelpoint works better if performed in a group or a circle. Many times in recent history several methods or procedures have stopped working or been reduced in strength, and in this seminar the methods how to stop this reduction of effect were discussed. Further the more classical subjects as pulse-diagnosis, herbal therapy, the Ting-points, cancer therapy and the huge problem of translocation were also discussed. Herings law within homeopathy was discussed in relation to translocation of the disease, which also explained how and why the same energetic deficiency in the owner will show up in the animal. All the discussed subjects were discussed and presented in a context created by Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy and the practice and discoveries made by Are.

Icelandic healer Bryndís Pétursdóttir, creator of the Counterbalance cube, which transforms difficult energy (geopathic stress) into a light and normal energy, lectured on the following topics:

  1. Lecture:  Nature healing is unlimited
  2. Lecture: To beware of Geopathic stress
  3. Lecture: Elves and fairies around us

There was also a lecture on anthroposophic medicine. An introductory PowerPoint presentation on this topic can be found HERE.
