If you suspect your patient has blood stagnation, palpate this point named after the herbal formula which treats pain due to traumatic injuries: Jidabokuippou. (See previous post for reference)

If the point is tender to the touch, or if you objectively find tension, bulging, induration or other signs of excess, then you may treat this point with a needle, teishin or tuning fork.

For sensitive patients, try using the 啄微(takubi) method. For hearty patients with a robust constitution, you may use the 雀啄 (jakutaku) technique.

In this immersive two-day intensive, my aim is to help participants cultivate a subtle, hands-on way of listening to the body—one that translates palpatory nuance into precise clinical action. Through a progressive sequence of demonstrations and guided partner work, you’ll learn to read the metaphors encoded in tissue tone, temperature, and topography, identify living points that encode the root of your patient’s pain, and apply gentle Japanese needling techniques that treat the signal and the symptom. By weaving foundational biomechanics with depth palpation methods, we’ll broaden your diagnostic vocabulary while sharpening your tactile sensitivity, so that every contact is intentional, respectful, and therapeutically potent.

Equally important, I want you to leave Boulder with a clear, reproducible roadmap for distal pain management. We’ll unpack the mirror mapping model, explore pattern-based point selection, and apply these ideas in small breakout rotations, ensuring that theory anchors firmly in felt experience. You’ll finish the weekend with a toolkit of gentle-but-powerful distal strategies for treating musculoskeletal pain, renewed confidence in your own clinical intuition, and a supportive cohort of colleagues who value depth over dynamo. Whether you are new to Japanese styles or seasoned in distal work, my hope is that these 14 CEU hours spark a lasting shift toward quieter, more resonant interactions in every patient connection.

“Jidaboku Ippō is a uniquely Japanese herbal formula (Kampo), originally a secret prescription used by military physicians who made a living treating sword wounds sustained in battle around the 16th century. It is said to have been revived during the Edo period by Kagawa Shuan (1683 - 1755), and even now, more than 250 years later, it is still frequently used. While it is mainly applied to contusions, sprains, and fractures, its effectiveness in treating surgical scars in the present case evokes its historical use in times of war, where it was widely employed for injuries ranging from blunt trauma to sword wounds.”

Thank you for this incredible gift !

This is a powerful reminder of why we continue this tradition of making the yearly pilgrimage to study acupuncture in Japan 🇯🇵: to inspire one another to serve our patients with the same heartfelt joy and awe that arise in the shared company of our cherished colleagues and fellow Acu nerds.

May we be led back to our core truths, the original source of our “why” for serving others through healthcare and the pure joy of discovering new ways to help others.

A few highlights from the 2025 journey to Tsukuba, Japan: Acu Abroad with Katai Sensei.

It was an incredible honor to guide these amazing acupuncturists through a one-week immersive seminar. Such a gracious, bright, cohesive group of souls! It was yet another blessing to watch the wonders of Japanese acumoxa transform difficult conditions before our eyes.

I commend everyone on their strength, patience, humor and consideration as we dove deep into the study of traditional Japanese acumoxa through sacred shrines, integrative medical centers, tea ceremony and Katai Sensei’s clinical institute.

May you bring tremendous relief and deep healing to all the patients who grace your clinic and souls who cross your paths.

これからも宜しくお願い致します。

“Recently, I have been employing needles that are not inserted into the body. This needle technique can be performed over clothing and does not involve direct contact with the skin. Hence, I call it ‘non-contact acupuncture.’

As I experimented with non-contact acupuncture on myself, I experienced firsthand that the body indeed undergoes changes - and I confirmed that the method is safe. In contrast to needles inserted directly into the body, I began inserting needles into cloth draped over the body. I thus decided to call these ‘shadow needles’ (kagehari), with the Japanese term ‘shadow’ connoting something that accompanies your true form and is not separate from it.”

This is a small excerpt from my latest translation of Nishiyama Akihiro’s novel discovery of Non-Contact Acupuncture, featured in the March 2025 issue of NAJOM, Vol 31 Number 93.

A massive thank you to the Tsukuba Technical University Integrative Medical Center for including my write up of our 2023 clinical observation rounds in their 5th academic journal!

“This is a case where 10 years of postherpetic neuralgia, which her doctor had encouraged her to give up on, completely disappeared. I was surprised, and the patient was overjoyed. Initially, due to the long duration of her pain, I began the treatment hoping it would improve even by a little, but the result far exceeded my expectations.

Looking back, I think the daily moxibustion on right UB-17 and right UB-18 was particularly effective. After three months of home moxibustion, when she reduced the frequency, the pain worsened, but by resuming a daily practice, the pain improved.

‘Fifty Years of Practice: The Case Studies of Shudo Denmei’ postulates:

‘This hardness (palpable hardenings on the back) is proportional to the waxing and waning of the disease.’

‘When significant changes such as induration appear at the painful site, recovery is good.’

The same applies in this case study. The correlation between pain and induration is intriguing.”

This is a short excerpt from my latest translation of Murata Sensei’s, “Shudo-Style Clinical Notes on Postherpetic Neuralgia” in the November 2024 issue of NAJOM Vol 31 No 92.

LR-8 Qu Quan For Depression

“This comes from an experience I had five years ago. Although I rarely have difficulty waking up, on that day I woke with a sense of melancholy as my whole body felt heavy. The cause was unknown. Upon reading my pulse, I sensed a liver deficiency pattern with a deep, thin and weak pulse. When I needled the depression at the left LR-8, it felt good in my body.

I then manipulated the needle with many rotations. When the ki arrived to the point, in a moment, I felt my mood lighten up. After that, I was back to business, humming a song as I went along.

The power of multiple needle rotations at five-element points is truly incredible. Since that treatment, I have had no recurrence of depression.”

This is an excerpt from my latest translation of Murata Morihiro Sensei’s research into highly effective point prescriptions. You can find this article on p.12 of the July 24 issue of NAJOM, Vol 31 No 91. 📖

Check out this issue for more insight into exquisitely curated point selections. 🤓
