Advanced Curriculum: Mastery of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels

The Advanced course focuses on the Eight Extraordinary Vessels (also known as the Eight Extras or Qi Jing Ba Mai). These primal channels represent our deepest energetic reserves and hold the blueprint of our destiny. This year, you will learn to use them to break old patterns and align with your true Tao.

What we will explore:

  • The Eight Extraordinary Vessels: A deep dive into the pathways, functions, and spiritual significance of these "primal rivers."
  • The Chakra Connection: Discover how to combine Do-In for the Chakras with the Eight Extraordinary Vessels for a holistic approach to healing.
  • Advanced Energetic Anatomy: Master key acupoints on the Eight Extras to influence deep-seated energy flows.
  • The Language of the Body: Develop your diagnostic skills of the principal meridians and five elements through the analysis of the face, tongue, pulse, and posture. Yes, this can definitely be learned in a mentored course like this!
  • Oriental Diagnostics: Learn to identify imbalances in the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and translate these insights into healing.
  • Personal Mastery & Coaching: Experience profound personal development while learning to guide others through 1-on-1 personal training and tailored Do-In sessions.

This advanced course is exclusively available to students who have completed the Intermediate training.

Lilian, it is always a pleasure to absorb your knowledge and wisdom. Do-In Academy has brought me so much. I feel much more of a 'whole' person than when I started Do-In. I am healthier, more vital and happier. The tools you have provided have contributed significantly to this. I'm sure this is something that stays with me for the rest of my life, and that I will continue to develop. I feel privileged that you and this training have come to my path and that I can pass that on in my own way to others. Thank you.

"I am so glad I decided to take this course. The previous courses were already very special, but this one offers even more insight and depth. Working with the Eight Extra Meridians and their tsubo's on the different levels (physical, emotional, spiritual) suits me so well; it makes me very happy!
One can analyse the energy so very well without even having spoken to the person. And how accurate it is when you do have a conversation. Especially with chronic complaints, working one-on-one with the Do-IN Academy approach on energy analysis and the Eight Extra Meridians will be an important addition to my practice."
