This course will introduce the Heart Shén for its role as the primary source of all emotions along with the Pericardium (Xīn Bāo) for its relationship to the Heart. We will then prioritize the mental health conditions of depression and anxiety. This will include a brief look at various treatment approaches across the centuries. Suicidal tendencies need some discussion using the water well/pit analogy plus the donkey/farmer analogy. This will be followed by discussing the organ/element/eight extraordinary vessel relationships and acupuncture point combinations for depression and anxiety.
