Relationship of Governor Vessel 20-24 to Our Constitution
The work of Dr. med. Frank Bahr has shown the Cranial region between Governor Vessel 20-24 (in German, Lenkergefäß, or LG) is especially important for our constitution, and in turn, our future. This relationship coincides with the names of GV 20 and GV 24, respectively known in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as Baihui or "Master of Spiritual Energy“ and Shenting or "Divine Area." GV 20 also overlaps with the highest Indian Chakra, "Sahasrara" known as the Crown Chakra. Points GV 20 and GV 24...

[VIDEO] An Ear for Manual Therapy: Stimulation Techniques for Tissue Release
The Poly- Nature of Our Neural States. Consider the nervous system (see video below), it has one primary function: to ensure the survival of our physical body. As Stephen Porges, researcher at the Kinsey Institute points out from his Polyvagal Theory, “When states of safety are manifest in the structures of the body, the body is poised to serve as a platform for healing.” Unfortunately, many clients/patients seeking improved wellbeing suffer chronic conditions of stress to such an effect that...

[VIDEO] The Brain Maps Somatic and Emotional Experiences Onto Our Ears — Maps that Help Guide Therapy
Owing to greater awareness of neuro-stimulation via the ear (as seen, for example, in Psychology Today, BBC News, and Psychiatry Advisor), Auricular methods for understanding and treating the body and mind are gaining interest from patients who seek improved wellbeing. The ear is unique in that it receives the major nerve branches. As introduced in the video below, it is a microsystem of the body which projects our somatic and emotional experiences.[1] This auricular microsystem has an extens...
CIAM’s highly endorsed core curriculum is helping lead the understanding of auricular methods for powerful insights into the human system.
The Core Curriculum Path
-
Level I: Enhanced Auricular Assessment and Treatment (on-site) | Level I syllabus link
Note: There are no course pre-requisites to enter the core curriculum path. It is understood that anyone making claims to provide treatment using Auricular Medicine shall be certified and have the necessary training to provide any such treatment in accordance to the regulatory guidelines under which they practice. -
Level I: Clinical Practicum (online w/instructor support)
Note: the Level I Clinical Practicum, a requirement for certification, is not required in order to proceed to Level II - Level II: Clearing Blockages to Healing (on-site) | Level II syllabus link
-
Level II: Clinical Practicum (online w/instructor support)
Note: the Level II Clinical Practicum, a requirement for certification, is not required in order to proceed to Level III - Level III: Advanced Methods (on-site) | Level III syllabus link
- Level III: Clinical Practicum (online w/instructor support)
Enrollment Options
- Non-core Enrollment: Participation in courses beyond the core curriculum path. CIAM offers additional courses (seminars, workshops, demonstrations and networking opportunities) ideal for individuals who want to get their feet wet prior to advancing to the core curriculum, or those who are interested in extending their opportunities beyond the core curriculum.
- Core Curriculum Enrollment: Single registration in core curriculum courses on a one-by-one basis (paying as you go)
- Full Program Enrollment: Join us in the Complete Masters Certificate Program (CMCP) which offers significant savings for the complete core curriculum program — plus additional trainings beyond the core curriculum including Vascular Autonomic Signal skills building and Lower Level Laser Therapy foundations.
- Enrollment for Certification: Your education with CIAM does not require that you become certified, however you have the opportunity to earn certification at any point (as long as certification requirements have been met). Enrollment in the CMCP automatically gives you the option to get certified (see certification FAQs).
It’s About Growth, Clinical Practice and Professional Network
Your Growth: Auricular methods, particularly German Auricular Medicine as taught by CIAM, help you gain practical skills for the shift toward neorology-, frequency- and resonance-based concepts in healthcare today and of the future. LEARN MORE (Discover the ear as a window to the brain).
Your Practice: Practitioners who integrate auricular methods discover added precision in acupuncture, primed tissue release in Manual Therapy, polyvagal regulation approaches in psychology, enhanced adrenal function in Natural Medicine, and much more across many other modalities of healing. WATCH VIDEO (Founder, Dr. Muriel Agnes, on supporting your practice).
Your Network: The field of Auricular Medicine includes medical doctors addressing the opiod epidemic, psychologists healing trauma, acupuncturists advancing neuro-auricular methods, and many other healthcare professionals who integrate auricular. CIAM has certified practitioners around the world. CONNECT WITH OUR NETWORK (link to CIAM Certified Practitioners)
Integrate Auricular!
An auricular approach can offer powerful insight into what ails the entire body. CIAM graduates are using auricular insights to prioritize treatment approaches and break through the walls presented by their most challenging cases. Auricular Medicine, because of its basis in neurology- and frequency-based concepts, supports insight for treatment options in challenging cases such as therapy resistant patients.
Current and ongoing research in neuroscience, vagus nerve stimulation, heart rate variability as a critical biomarker, neuro-auricular acupuncture, medical frequencies (i.e. electromagnetic waves, frequency-specific micro currents, pulsed low level laser) is proving auricular medicine as a growth field — and continuously advances the field.
