The Jeffrey Yuen Seminar on Addictions: Treating the Spiritual, Emotional and Physical Roots was held at the Sheraton Columbia April 4-5, 2009. The brochure may be downloaded by clicking here. Or the information in the brochure may be viewed on our website page. To hear the first 45 minutes of the seminar from Sunday, click here to download an mp3 (podcast) file. This is a large file, 16 megabytes, and may take a long time to download if you have a slow internet connection.
This entire seminar was recorded and a recording can be ordered in the MAS internet store.
The Jeffrey Yuen Addictions seminar CD contains some very handy features. 1. Each track has a distinctive title that shows up on your CD player. Even the questions are labeled. We are trying to get the titles in the main iTunes data base as well, so they will show up on your iPod. If someone knows how to do that, we would welcome your help! All track titles are also offered in an Excel file on-line. There are 13-23 tracks on each of the 10 CDs , logically divided according to the lecture. 2. Within the handout, the tracks are collated. While you are listening to the CD, you always know exactly where you are within the outline and can easily find your way back there. 3. We have also included a PDF of all of the drawings that accompanied the lecture, 32 altogether. They are also identified within the notes so as you are listening to the lecture, you can tell where he is in the handout but also what he is drawing on the overhead. We want to thank Francesca Paik for letting her Metal nature shine through in this artful and laborously created product.
*As of July 2008 there were 818 active acupuncturists licensed by the State of Maryland and 297 (36%) were members of MAS.
