Indeed, you will find many schools to choose from at NCNM - all of our doctors are so unique in their approach to the medicine. Our five element tradition is becoming stronger, and it is a very integral version of that tradition. I think you will be happy to see that when you visit. Do let me know when you might be coming by, perhaps we can have tea! Eric Jason,

I'm glad to see you came to a similar conclusion. I think there is something very powerful about that kind of choice - and indeed the mentor question is the most important among them. I guess in my school, it's kind of the same choice. Which is more or less what you're saying! :D Eric Barbara,

As I am still working out where I am going to school, the question of which style of Chinese medicine I want to focus on continues to occupy my mind. I've read a lot of articles recently on 5-element acupuncture by Neil Gumenick on acupuncturetoday.com. What he writes about makes me remember my very powerful experience with my acupuncturist in Maryland, where just during the initial intake, before any points were inserted or moxa was burned, I was immediately aware of the space and the subtle power of her presence. I was unloading so much without any probing from her at all! The capacity to create that therapeutic presence and to incorporate that into a diagnosis and treatment plan seems to me like a truly mystical thing. At the same time, I had no real physical complaints when I went to see her, and I have heard from a variety of practitioners that 5-e acupuncture may not always be the most expedient means of resolving such complaints. So I am wanting very much to get a big picture view on the world of acupuncture traditions, and select my focus with greater discernment. From the way you described your experience at NCNM, it sounds like you have teachers from all across the board, and that you have a teacher for 5-e in particular makes me even more excited to visit your school. Agreed, the recording sounded great. -Jason Hey Eric,

Just today while in clinic, I was thinking about the treaters and how it seems that the best are the ones who have made choices in the schools at some level, but also have made choices in their mentors...and the mentors have made the choices. By the way the new equipment sounds great! Barbara Eric
