The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) provides professional development opportunities to Diplomates applying for recertification in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, and Asian Bodywork Therapy which includes Quigong Therapy.

The Christine Schenk School for applied Energy-Body Medicine^® has been approved by the NCCAOM as a Professional Development Activity (PDA) Provider. This means that an NCCAOM Diplomate seeking points for recertification can now enroll in the ^®-Technique Training Program and receive continuing education credit upon completion of a course. An average of 32 PDA’s is awarded to a student of the ^®-Technique Training Program at the end of a typical five day training period.

The two-day Introductory Course into the ^®-Technique is part of the Basic Program. You will learn how to differentiate physical and energetic perceptions and you will find out how you can identify your partnership of Energy Body and physical body. You will experience your Energy Body and learn about your hygienic needs at an energetic level.

In search of additional resources which help to manage daily life better and more efficient, the ^®-Technique offers the possibility to mobilize energies which are usually unused or not consciously fallen back on.

These energies refer to our second self, our Energy Body, including itself in daily life. Not paying attention to it can lead to physical and psychical illnesses, weak social relationships, lack of self-confidence, ego or overemphasis on feeling or intellect. The basis for perception and action in daily life will be broadened by the strength, knowledge and efficiency of a second body - our second self.

Although participants join a class, high value is set on individual supervision, particularly as far as the training of perceptions is concerned.

After concluding the training you have the tools at your hand which enable you to watch your energetic health. Concerning your personal union you will be able to see differently (as both bodies) as well as personal union. Precisely because of that you will be able to preserve your social, communicative and relational ability in a world where physic and energetic interactions take place.

"The Marriage Between Physical Body and Energy Body" is recommended reading prior to the Basic Program.

		Basic Program (4 sessions, 5 days each):

You will identify the anatomy of the Energy Body and learn about initial personal energetic hygiene programs and basic energetic behavioral etiquette techniques. You will focus on yourself as an individual Energy Body and you will become aware of the structure of your internal partnership between the Energy Body and the physical body.
		Advanced Program (4 sessions, 5 days each):
You will learn how to handle energetic group dynamics, your relationship with other Energy Bodies and your emotional or mental perceptions during conversation. You will learn how to improve your energetic presentation and work out your personal crisis and stress management plan.
		Master Program (2 sessions, 5 days each and supervision):
