"TCM and Possession Part Five: Water Spirits"
Liu Ming offers an advanced exploration of psycho-emotive and somatic disorders through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine, using the understanding of spirit possession as a framework to assess and treat emotional and physical imbalances.
The fifth course in this series explores the enduring power of Water spirits, and the intimate, emotional realm of relationship we each have with this phase of transformation.
Liu Ming leads us on a journey of integrating our emotional lives into a dynamic flow of healthy engagement, understanding the risks of emotional fixation and stagnation as being indicative of unhealthy relationships to water spirits.

Liu Ming
Da Yuan Circle Founder
Liu Ming (Charles Belyea, b. Sept 14th, 1947 - d. April 9th, 2015) was the founder and former director of Five Branches College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Santa Cruz, where for twelve years he taught courses in Chinese History and Culture. He also completed a visiting lecturer position at the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine. He held a Masters degree in Asian Esthetics and is the author of “Dragon's Play” (1991). He is the author of several self-published works related to Daoism and traditional Chinese culture, including a translation of the Zhou Yi, the original text of the I Ching, and the Dao De Jing. He was adopted and ordained by an orthodox Daoist family that traces itself back to the to the Han dynasty. His teaching is based firmly in the Chinese Daoist tradition, but is surprisingly open and practical in a modern setting. His thirty years of practice in meditation and ritual, in both Daoist and Tantric Buddhist traditions, inspired him to create Da Yuan Circle, a non-profit organization focused around his teachings.
