These two clips are extracts from my first seminar at the UK Chinese Medicine Conference 2026. I am describing the pathway of the kidney channel sinew. I go into more detail later to describe the connection between the diaphragm and pelvis floor, and the connection between the front and back of the abdomen. I really enjoyed sharing all this last week.

A short clip from my first seminar on the channel sinews at this year’s UK Chinese Medicine Conference . I discovered these connections several years ago and have been teaching this and findings to tui na students at . I cover this is a practical way for tui na throughout the 1 year course. I also run CPD courses. Thank you Ilze the principal of City College of Acupuncture for recording this

I’m describing the relationship between the back, hip and hamstring. The hamstring can tighten and inhibit the ability to bend the back forwards. This is a clip from my seminar at the UK Chinese Medicine Conference 2026.

Three days of training in treating postural imbalances using moxibustion. This was a very good, logical way of looking at the body as whole and the techniques are gentle. I see a lot musculoskeletal pain or imbalance patients in my clinic and many will benefit. I will use some today. Thank you

Have you ever wanted to study Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion inside a traditional school in Japan?
If so, In-Touch Japan 2026 may be the year to come.

Join Heather “Maya” Suzuki, L.Ac. and ShinKyu University for In-Touch Japan 2026, a fully translated, hands-on study experience held at Toyoshinkyu College of Oriental Medicine in Tokyo — the school where Maya completed her Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion training.

This year is especially important because this may be the last time In-Touch Japan is hosted at Toyoshinkyu in this way. Nothing is final yet, but with the possibility of leadership changes at the school, the current location connection may not be available in the future.

This will also be the last year Maya hosts the workshop in its current format. When In-Touch Japan returns in the future, the content, layout, and structure are expected to change significantly.

So if studying Japanese acupuncture in Japan has been on your “someday” list, 2026 is the year to seriously consider coming.
Toyoshinkyu’s roots go back to 1927, when Sorei Yanagiya founded Sorei Shinkyu Juku, which later developed into Toyoshinkyu College of Oriental Medicine. Yanagiya is recognized as an important figure in modern Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion, and Toyoshinkyu continues to carry forward a strong emphasis on classical study, practical technique, and clinical training.

Participants will learn alongside Japanese faculty, students, and practitioners while exploring:

Japanese moxibustion
Meridian Therapy
Contact needling
Shonishin pediatric acupuncture
Japanese-style palpation
Aesthetic acupuncture
Clinical refinement through touch
And so much more.

This is not simply a sightseeing trip with a class attached.

It is a rare opportunity to feel Japanese medicine in context — inside a traditional Japanese acupuncture school, with translation, guidance, and the support of someone who has personally trained there.

In-Touch Japan 2026
Dates: November 3–10, 2026
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Extended Early Bird: $2,200 USD
Regular Investment: $2,500 USD
Spots: Limited to 20 participants
Fully translated into English

If Japanese acupuncture, moxa, shonishin, or studying in Japan has been calling you, please don’t assume this exact opportunity will be available again.

Salad although considered healthy, eaten raw is hard to digest and this can weaken the digestive system. Causing issues like bloating, loose stools or constipation, the feeling of could and fatigue. I find a lot of my clients eat salad all year round. When it is really for summer eating. There are way of eating it cooked. Raw foods in general are harder to digest. So simply cook it. This assortment of salad leaves I grew in the back garden. I picked them fresh today and added them to the stir fry. You could add it to soups, or steam them for a few minutes. Be creative with your cooking

Ling Shu Chapter 10 經脈 Jing mai
Lei Gong [thunder god] speaks to Huang Di.
“Talking about forbidden [knowledge of the] vessels [mai]. All needling is logical. Starting with the Jing mai, circulating the ying [nutritive qi]. A system of pathways that can be measured, internally sequencing [the pathways] of the five zang. Externally separate [the pathways] of the six fu. I would like understand the complete pathways.

Huang Di says, “man begins life, first with all their jing [essence], complete with jing [essence] generating nao [brain] and sui [bone marrow]. The bones make up the whole body. Ying [nutritive qi] [is found in ] the vessels. The jin [tendons and muscles] are firm and the rou [flesh] are like a wall, the cutaneous skin is strong and the body hair is long. The gu [grain qi] enters the stomach the vessel pathway penetrates circulating qi and blood.”

This is fantastic description of the the body tissues throughout the body and this the introduction of the chapter that describes the primary channel pathways and pathologies. The pathologies listed a different to what is taught in TCM acupuncture today. It also describes the process of the pathogen entering the channel and eventually the organ. This is concept rooted in a lot of Japanese acupuncture that leans heavily on Classical Chinese concepts.
