Comprehensive Exam II, (the graduation exam) evaluates a student's academic readiness to graduate and provides the student with exposure to an examination process that simulates an examination like the California State Licensure examinations. A student who fails the Graduation exam twice should meet with the Dean for academic advice. If they take additional courses Federal Student Aid is NOT available for this remediation. MSTCM Course Descriptions Acupuncture AC211 Acupuncture I (4.0 units) Acupuncture, a core part of traditional Chinese medicine, consists of 6 courses and provides students with a thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of meridian theory and modern clinical applications of traditional Chinese acupuncture. The courses comprise an introduction of meridian theory, point location, functions and indications, different types of needle manipulation, therapeutic techniques and equipment, clinical strategies and methodologies in acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture I covers the history of acupuncture and moxibustion, meridian theory, basic point theory, point location, functions and indications of the first 6 channels (the lung channel of hand Taiyin, the large intestine channel of hand Yangming, the stomach channel of foot Yangming, the spleen channel of foot Taiyin, the heart channel of the hand Shaoyin, and the small intestine channel of hand Taiyang). The lab sessions focus on accurate point locations for each of these channels. Prerequisite: None AC311 Acupuncture II (4.0 units) Acupuncture II covers point location, functions and indications of the eight remaining channels: the urinary bladder channel of foot Taiyang, the kidney channel of foot Shaoyin, the pericardium channel of hand Jueyin, the triple burner channel (San Jiao) of hand Shaoyang, the gall bladder channel of foot Shaoyang, the liver channel of hand Jueying, the Ren (Conception) channel and the Du (Governing) channel. -
DIMENSIONS of CONSCIOUSNESS by Dora Van Gelder Kunz
The Theosophical Society in America DIMENSIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS By Dora van Gelder Kunz This article was taken from The Personal Aura by Dora van Gelder Kunz. The life of even the most ordinary person, which may seem very uneventful, is actually full of experiences on many levels. While we are focused on the daily business of living, we are at the same time involved in a whole complex of interactions between physical processes, feelings and thoughts. Though we may not pay much attention to these interactions, they constantly influence our behavior, as well as our sense of well-being. What I try to do in this book is share with you something of my perception and appreciation of the hidden dimensions of consciousness within us, and in so doing, make you more aware of these aspects of your own life, and of your ability to effect conscious changes in yourself. My focus is principally upon our feelings, for the aura—the luminous cloud of color surrounding each of us—is the personal emotional field. But our feelings are part of the larger whole we call a human being, and therefore they are inseparable from everything else that goes on within us. The interactions between mind, emotions and physical energies are so rapid and so constant that they blur these differentiations, and so we usually only notice them when they break down. There- fore, in order to understand the nature of the emotions and the role they play, we have to see them from the perspective of the whole person—and this includes not only the body, mind and feelings, but also still higher dimensions of consciousness. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Purinergic receptors, which bind ATP, are expressed on human cutaneous kératinocytes. Previous work in rat epidermis suggested functional roles of purinergic receptors in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, for example P2X5 receptors were expressed on kératinocytes undergoing proliferation and differentiation, while P2X? receptors were associated with apoptosis. In this thesis, the aim was to investigate the expression of purinergic receptors in human normal and pathological skin, where the balance between these processes is changed. A study was made of the expression of purinergic receptor subtypes in human adult and fetal skin. -

Your Quality Improvement (QI) Specialists will follow up with you after this webinar to address them. 4 Assessing and Measuring Wounds • You completed a skin assessment and found a wound. • Now you need to determine what type of wound you found. • If it is a pressure ulcer, you need to determine the stage. 5 Assessing and Measuring Wounds This is important because— • Each type of wound has a different etiology. • Treatment may be very different. However— • Not all wounds are clear cut. • The cause may be multifactoral. 6 Types of Wounds • Vascular (arterial, venous, and mixed) • Neuropathic (diabetic) • Moisture-associated dermatitis • Skin tear • Pressure ulcer 7 Mixed Etiologies Many wounds have mixed etiologies. • There may be both venous and arterial insufficiency. • There may be diabetes and pressure characteristics. 8 Moisture-Associated Skin Damage • Also called perineal dermatitis, diaper rash, incontinence-associated dermatitis (often confused with pressure ulcers) • An inflammation of the skin in the perineal area, on and between the buttocks, into the skin folds, and down the inner thighs • Scaling of the skin with papule and vesicle formation: – These may open, with “weeping” of the skin, which exacerbates skin damage. -

Mary Evelyn Tucker and Duncan Ryuken Williams, Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1997, pp. 219-248. American Buddhist Responseto the Land: Ecological Practice at Two West Coast Retreat Centersr StephanieKaza From a theoreticalperspective, Buddhist philosophy appears to be highly congruentwith an ecologicalworldview. Respected Buddhist teacherssuch as His Holinessthe Dalai Lama andVietnamese Zen masterThich Nhat Hanh frequentlypoint to the interdependenceof human life and the environment.2American Buddhist scholars, includingmany of thosein this volume,show the basesin text and principle for a Buddhist environmentalphilosophy'3 But how do iheselinks translateinto actualpractice'l Do American Buddhists "walk their talk"? In this articleI look at two AmericanBuddhist centers to assess the extent of ecologicalpractice at an institutionallevel. Retreat centersact as fbcal pointsfor transmittingBuddhist values both to committedBuddhist practitioners and to the visiting public. To the extentthat practiceplaces reinforce ecological caretaking with spiritualprinciples, they provide a foundationfbr moralcommitment to the environment.It is clear to many leading environmental thinkersthat science,technology, and economics alone will not solve the environmentalcrisis.a lnstead, they call for cultural transfor- mation basedon religigus,moral, or spiritual valuesof deep care of and concernfor the earth.How do American Buddhistcenters contributeto this cultural shift? What in their efforts is distinctly Buddhist and what reflectsthe existing culture or reactionto it? Where are the points of tension around ecologicalpractice in Buddhistcenters? And on what institutionalelements do these practicesdepend? 220 Buddhism and Ecologl- This articleis a preliminaryreport of work in progressassessing environmentalpractices at diverseAmerican Buddhist centers in the UnitedStates. -
The Seven Sacred Bodies - Terms Excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment
The Corpus Christi - science of the rainbow body The Seven Sacred Bodies - terms excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment By Richard Rudd The Corpus Christi — One of the journeys making up the Gene Keys Synthesis, the Corpus Christi is the complete science of the ‘Rainbow Body’ — the true underlying nature of all human beings. The Corpus Christi is a synthesis of transmissions, teachings and techniques that underpins the 64 Gene Keys. Representing the higher ‘Mystery School’ teachings of the Gene Keys, it includes the teaching of the Seven Seals, the Seven Sacred Bodies and the Nine Initiations. Deep immersion in the teachings of the Corpus Christi assists you in grounding and embodying the higher frequencies of light into your everyday life. These are the teachings and techniques that allow you to draw the transmission of the Gene Keys layer by layer into the subtle bodies that make up your aura. Literally meaning ‘The Body of Christ’, the Corpus Christi prepares you to work with higher evolutionary frequencies by progressively purifying the many dimensions of your inner being, beginning with your physical body. The 1st Sacred Body - The Physical/Etheric Body Etheric Body — Sometimes known as the ‘etheric double’, the etheric body is the counterpart of your physical body, extending out beyond it into the aura. As the closest of the subtle bodies to the physical, the etheric body is quite well understood by many cultures, in particular in its relationship to our physical health. Systems such as acupuncture or energy medicine work directly on the etheric body, which consists of a vast network of subtle pathways, meridians or ‘nadis’, which create the fundamental grid of the aura. -

Healing Touch: Trouble with Angels
CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAH025 HEALING TOUCH: TROUBLE WITH ANGELS by Sharon Fish Mooney This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 28, number 2 (2005). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS Nontraditional health-related practices that involve the hands, based on the assumption that people are energy fields, are becoming increasingly popular. One of the most widely used is Healing Touch, a practice rooted in a variety of belief systems, including Theosophy, spiritism, and Buddhism. Nurses and others certified as Healing Touch practitioners are expected to read a wide range of books on occult philosophy and engage in experiential training that includes information on contacting and channeling “angels” or “spiritual guides.” Healing Touch and related practices such as Therapeutic Touch and Reiki are being welcomed into Christian churches uncritically in the guise of Christian healing practices, based on the belief that the healing associated with them is the same form of healing practiced by Jesus and the first-century Christians. These churches appear to be ignoring biblical injunctions that warn the people of God to have nothing to do with aberrant belief systems, mediums, and with any practices associated with divination. Elisabeth Jensen is a registered nurse and a qualified mid-wife. She has many qualifications in complementary healing methods: she is a Therapeutic Touch Teacher; Melchizedek Method Facilitator; Past, Parallel, and Future Lives Therapist; Certified Angel Intuitive Practitioner; Professional Crystal Healer; Aura Reading and Healing Therapist, and Healing Touch Practitioner.
