Marco Rado Live and Online Class 2026: The Divergent Meridians & The 9 Pains of the Heart

Address the deep connection between the Heart, the Brain, and the human spirit.

Marco returns to Melbourne in March and April 2026 to present two foundational workshops. These sessions integrate Classical Chinese Medicine with Kinesiology to provide specific protocols for chronic physical conditions, immune system imbalances, and long-standing emotional blockages.

Course 1: The Divergent Meridians

Focus: The Body-Heart-Brain Relationship.

The Divergent Meridians is a workshop exploring the Heart–Brain Axis from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

It offers a simple yet profound approach to working with unresolved emotional patterns and immune triggers such as viral and bacterial infections, toxins, and heavy metals.

The deeper purpose of this work is to help us find our neutral space so we can clarify and rebalance our direction in life. So often, we live under the influence of others or according to paths imposed upon us. In this class, we work to clear the Heart–Brain of past blockages and environmental influences, allowing our true authenticity to emerge.

The Divergent Meridians are not the same as the 8 Extraordinary Meridians. They are a distinct meridian system in Chinese Medicine, with different functions, pathways, and clinical applications.

This class introduces many new concepts, supported by clear demonstrations and plenty of hands-on practice. Its uniqueness lies in the approach: We focus on all those situations (traumas, negative emotions or blockages) that alter the perception of self, both the psychological aspect, but also an immune concept.

In this course, you will:

• Release physical tension — clear the “heaviness” in the chest using archetypes, colour, and sound
• Invite joy and lightness — help clients reconnect with hidden qualities and inner resources
• Clear immune triggers — explore how viruses, bacteria, and heavy metals relate to unresolved emotional states
• Work deeply with the Heart–Brain Axis — gain practical tools for long-standing emotional patterns
• Simplify complex cases — use a streamlined approach to working with toxic and immune loads

You will learn how to balance:

• Deep emotional, physical, and immune issues using the Heart–Brain Axis Level 2 Protocol
• Wei Qi and Yuan Qi through the Divergent Meridians
• The Divergent Meridians using Promote Clearing and Promote Latency methods
• The Brain from the Perspective of Classical Chinese Medicine
• The Immune System and Thymus
• Many chronic and degenerative conditions

You will also learn:

• How to use essential oils to activate and balance emotional states
• How Gua Sha and specific points can release deep congestion
• Key principles from Classical Chinese Medicine, rooted in Taoist and alchemical traditions, which differ from standard TCM approaches
• Marco will also teach two special sets of points to Balance the Brain, since all meridians are connected to the Heart-Brain Axis and will deepen the explanation of how TCM describes which meridians control and nourish the Brain.

This meridian system is particularly suited to working with:

• The impact of emotions on the brain and immune system
• Autoimmune conditions
• Chronic degenerative disorders
• The long-term effects of viral and bacterial infections
• Toxins and heavy metals
• Situations where life experiences erode the sense of Self
• Emotional trauma
• Chronic joint problems

Course 2: The 9 Pains of the Heart

April 2, 4, & 5  (3 days) Thurs, Sat & Sun
Note: No class on Good Friday
Time: 10am until 7pm

Focus: Mental-Emotional-Spiritual Challenges (The Shen).

The 9 Pains of the Heart is a course dedicated to the existential challenges that accompany us through much of life — the inner obstacles that distract us from living our true purpose and from the free expression of the heart’s deepest desires.

In Chinese Medicine, the “Nine Pains of the Heart” do not refer to cardiac symptoms, but to the Nine Challenges of the Heart — the trials that test the Heart as the seat of the Shen (mental–emotional–spiritual consciousness). These are natural stages of human experience that every person moves through at different times in life.

These Nine Pains of the Heart are the “Nine Challenges of the Heart.” The trials we have to face during our lives. These challenges are called “the Nine Palaces”, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) represent the nine main tests that every human being faces during his existence.

Not only ours, but also those tests that our parents and ancestors failed to solve. Therefore, evolution is not only individual, but of our entire genealogy.

 

When these stages are not understood or resolved, blockages can develop — emotional, mental, or physical — expressing themselves through a wide range of symptoms in the body.

At its core, this work recognises that the Nine Pains are not problems to fix, but phases of human development to be understood and integrated. When we recognise these stages, emotional challenges become less confronting and far easier to navigate, both for ourselves and for our clients.

Rather than pathologising emotional pain, this workshop helps practitioners recognise where someone is in their process, and gently support the body, heart, and brain to move through these stages with greater ease, clarity, and resilience.

What this course focuses on

In this training, we work deeply with the Heart Meridian and the Pericardium — the Defender and Minister of the Heart — to identify and resolve the true roots of imbalance, both emotional and physical.

A significant focus is placed on releasing tension in the Pericardium, created by the various “Heart Pains.” These tensions can contribute to:

• Emotional patterns such as anxiety, panic attacks, and inner withdrawal
• Postural patterns such as a closed chest, kyphosis, and neck pain

We also work with the Magic Square — composed of nine numbers, mirroring the nine points of the Heart and Pericardium meridians.

This work allows us to address:

• Conflicts experienced personally
• Patterns inherited from family and ancestral lines
• The emotional roots of psychosomatic conditions

With these tools, practitioners can work with both emotional conflicts and physical symptoms that arise from deeper psycho-emotional origins.

As in all of Marco’s courses, this training is also a journey through philosophy, Chinese medicine, energetics, and spirituality — offering simple yet profound methods to help clients move through long-standing emotional challenges and realign with their deepest purpose and destiny.
