Who is Eric Sherrell, L.Ac.? Licensed Acupuncturist Colorado & Virginia

Military Veteran - US Army Paratrooper Systems of Learning
Business Owner Soon to be Father Thank you Thyroforte / Blossom 1-4! (see Clinical Manual of Oriental Medicine)
What are we Learning Today?
Learning Actively Re-creating the BM Table Sheet in our mind, on our
hand, and on our body (limbs). Creating a New System so there is no need for
memorizing. Called the Clock/Triangle System. No Rote Memorizing!
We are Learning to Learn! Remember to have Fun when Learning!
Clock/Triangle System
Pros: Can use the System Anywhere! Clinic, Demos, Planes, Shuttle Bus, BBQs, on the fly, etc.
Faster & Accurate. Makes you look more professional. Combine with Acupressure or Piezo and use sans
needles. Cons:
You have to work at learning something new. Doesnt work with BM System 7.
Learning & Memorizing
Memorizing does not work for most people Once your mind is full, it starts to kick out old info to
make room for the new info. Overflowing Teacup Must empty your cup first.
If it did, we would remember everything about every Chinese Herb from studying in school.
12 Mai X 5 Systems = 60 Mais to memorize. A lot. Phone #s 7-10 digits for a reason. Most people remember a couple of BM Systems.
Learning is Personal. Many different styles.

Active Learning
Rote Memorizing is limited. Useful until the short term memory is full.
Memory is based upon: Experience Ask Questions Live it in real life
Context Personal different for everyone Create Story
Words, pictures, etc. We are going to create pictures in our minds, like Tattoos.
Active Learning
Spatial Learn in a particular place Bards, Monks, Clergy back in the day used to use this
technique.
We are going to place the BM Table Sheet (Tattoos) on our Body (Spatially).
Easier to remember.
Create a Comprehensive System
Use systems you already know Chinese Clock Your Hand Your Body
Learn a few new systems Triangle System Numbered Limbs
Combine All of these Systems Together! Create an Active Memory Map
Reminders
K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid Lets make this as Easy as Possible. Thats the whole point.
Remember this is a System Have to take each step one by one. If you get overwhelmed, go back to the Chinese
Clock. Always go back to the Chinese Clock! Have Fun!
Why does this Work?
Injured Mai Tx the 5 systems & vice a versa. Asked is there a repeating pattern to make
learning this easier? Systems are based upon the I-Ching, which is
mathematical in nature. So why not?! Maybe there is a Geometrical nature to the
Chinese Clock? Yes, when placed on a Clock & connect the dots. Found that all Yin Arm patterns are the same, all
Yang Arm patterns are the same, etc.
A Simple Breakdown
Steps: 1. Chinese Clock
Place it on Left Hand 2. Balance Method System 1-6
Place on Chinese Clock for each Mai based on time i.e. LU, LI, ST, SP, Etc.
Identify Unique Shape for each Mai 3. Place Triangle Shape & Number on a Limb Visually, like a
tattoo, to remember. 4. When needed superimpose Triangle System over Chinese
Clock on your left hand. Boom. Done.

Step 2: Overlay BM System on Clock
Always view clock from outside looking in. Spend more time overlaying clock onto hand.
This will be your Traveling BM sheet. The Triangle System is fairly easy to remember. This may seem to be complicated. It is not. You
will get it! I believe in you! Each Grouping of Leg Yang, Arm Yang, etc.
Mais has a distinct ( + #). All Groupings have the .

limb. Yes, you have to memorize a few things. Superimpose ( + #) onto clock on your hand. Now you have the BM Sheet on your hand!
Once learned you rarely need to study it. You will remember because there are
combined systems. Try it!
