Daniel J. Atchison-Nevel – Entering The Vessels: 6 Week Introductory Course

Entering the Vessels utilizes a simple yet profound holistic model to explore all the world’s wisdom and healing traditions through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine.

NSEV Founder Daniel J. Atchison-Nevel has taught Entering the Vessels for more than 25 years to thousands of people from diverse backgrounds in venues ranging from medical schools to yoga ashrams.

Entering the Vessels serves as the introduction and initiation into a modern lineage whose global community of healthcare providers, wellness practitioners, and cultivators utilize the extraordinary vessel model and treatments to enhance their professional practices and personal lives.

Over the course of six sessions participants will learn about the vessels and be guided through a series of cultivation, wellness, and healthcare exercises that create a learning experience for the mind, body and spirit.

What are the Extraordinary Vessels?

• The extraordinary vessels are one of the world’s oldest systems of energetic theory and practice evolving originally in ancient China.
• A simple but profound yin yang paradigm, extraordinary vessel theory represents an integrated, holistic worldview where the universe is viewed as constantly giving birth to itself.
• The eight extraordinary vessels are the primordial fields at the root of the interplay of yin and yang as manifest in the dance between the descending yang forces of heaven and the ascending Yin forces of earth.
• We are all embodied fields. Each of us is a microcosm of the macrocosm. The extraordinary vessels are our microcosmic primordial fields in which we relate to and process the primordial fields of the macrocosmic world.
• The extraordinary vessels were used in cultivation practices (shamanism, alchemy, qi gong) long before they appeared as part of acupuncture, where they are the deepest, most primordial pathways.
• Today we can engage our “vessels” through cultivation practices that harmonize the breath, movement, and mind, and through stimulating four simple acupuncture points (entryways into the vessels) that profoundly influence vessel activity and all aspects of our human functioning.
