how to heal oneself.

This class will focus on how the body changes according to the four seasons. Learning to
synchronize to the four seasons through diet, lifestyle (such as exercise and sleeping
patterns), and meditation will guide participants to a deeper understanding of the ebbs and
flows that manifest externally and internally.

About the Master
Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen and his Daoist background Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen comes from two Daoist lineages –
88th generation of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai (Jade Purity Yellow Emperor Lao Zi School) and 26th
generation of the Quan Zhen Long Men Pai (Complete Reality Dragon Gate School). His Daoist name
for each tradition is respectively Yuan Xu and Song De. He was born in USA where his family
emigrated shortly before the Cultural Revolution in China. Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen trained under his
adopted grandfather, the late Daoist Master Yu Wen (1872- 1981) of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai, a
sect from the Shang Qing tradition of Daoism that developed during the later Han Dynasty (3rd
Cent. CE). Master Yu Wen trained in Mount Hua temple and learned all the facets of Daoism,
including the classics; rites and liturgies; healing arts; and divination. He later travelled extensively
throughout China and served as the lineage holder of the Daoist martial arts system known as Wu
Xing Quan/Five Element Fist – an internal and monastic style of Hua Shan. Having a strong
resonance with Daoist teachings ever since childhood, Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen studied extensively under
Master Yu Wen and was allowed to openly practice and serve the community when he was 16 years
old. In addition to his ordainment within the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai, Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen was
ordained by Master Lu Xin-Xu of the Quan Zhen Long Men Pai as an expression of gratitude. When
arriving to the United States on a visitor’s visa, Master Lu served as one of the Daoist priests of the
American Daoist and Buddhist Association in New York City. Master Lu later decided to stay in the
United States and thus applied for permanent residency under the status for special reasons
(namely, religious persecution in China at that time). His initial application was rejected by the U.S.
Immigration & Naturalization Service on the grounds that Daoism was a philosophy and not a
religion. Due to Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen’s effort, Daoism became recognized as a major religious tradition
of China by INS.
Other trainings
Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen also studied Chinese herbal medicine with Master Gong Song-Liu, a eunuch for
the last two emperors of the Qing Dynasty who apprenticed with the imperial medical physicians.
As a friend of Master Yu Wen, Gong was persuaded to teach Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen, imparting his deep
knowledge of Chinese medicine over a period of 8 years. At the age of 100, Master Gong felt deeply
satisfied with his transmission to Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen and left for China. In the martial arts arena, Dr.
Jeffrey C. Yuen also trained under many eminent masters.
Fields of specialization
Mr. Yuen is recognized internationally to be a Master of Classical Chinese Medicine in the fields of
Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, Aromatherapy, Healing with gems and stones therapy, Tai Ji
Chuan, and Qi Gong His mission Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen currently believes that he can contribute to the
practice of Chinese medicine in this country by spreading the traditions of Classical Chinese
Medicine. In that regards, he continues to teach extensively throughout the United States and
abroad regularly providing Continuing Education lectures in US (Chinatown Wellness Center, NY,
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine,NY Beverly Hills, CA, Asheville, NC, Tuscon, AZ, Boulder, CO,
Santa Fe, MN, Maryland) and Italy, Ireland, Switzerland.

Difference between Traditional (TCM) and Classical Chinese medicine
The Classical Chinese medicine is based on Taoism philosophy and science observing the human
body, mind and spirit in context of Heaven and Earth. It was introduced to public from the lineage
of Taoist adepts who managed to hide themselves or escape to Western countries during the
Cultural Revolution. Controversially, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) integrated ideas of
Western medicine that only emphasized the material body.
