ONTAKE MOXIBUSTION LEVEL 1 BOOKING PAGE

The Ontake Method is a conceptual framework for applying Ontake Warm Bamboo, developed by British acupuncturist Oran Kivity. It integrates ideas from Japanese acupuncture regarding channel palpation and deficiency excess, holographic mappings, and Dr Manaka's meridian frequencies: applying stimulation to the body in time to a metronome.  This course is a dynamic mixture of theory, demonstration, and practice.
