The path of study
Units I–VI · Courses 01–39. Studio hours sit beside.
Studio · Aura, gates, attune, clock
Open field studio →Practice doors beside the numbered path. Breath as tuner lives on the studio floor. Living clock: /clock.

Studio · Aura
Aura Literacy
Read the protective atmosphere of the body — its layers, feeling, and the difference between sensing and inventing.
3 lessons

Studio · Gates
The Seven Gates
Study the chakra system as seven psychospiritual gates along the midline — vortices of theme, not costume jewelry.
4 lessons

Studio · Attune
Field Attunement
Change the vibration of your field on purpose — meditation as tuning, not escape.
3 lessons

Studio · Clock
The Living Clock
The traditional Chinese medicine organ clock: an old way of picturing the day as twelve two-hour stretches, each linked to one meridian. Classical TCM theory, not Kapel's own teaching. Educational, not medical advice.
3 lessons
Unit I · Field and fiber
Course 01
Foundations of Prana
Learn to notice the living current — how feeling becomes tissue, how attachments and splits show in the field, and how the body answers yes and no. Close with the Class 1 sequence on the mid-back.
18 lessons
Course 02
Muscle and Meridian
The mid-back stack and the low-back cylinder — tissue named, the fiber under the tendon, channels as maps, and Kapel’s spinal questions as a dialog. Not an adjustment. Not a dose.
17 lessons
Course 03
Pelvis and the Cover
The pelvic bowl — piriformis and the gluteals on the heart’s cover, the IT strap on large intestine — plus glutamine as a cascade, and the materials as emotional influence. Class 3 lab without samples.
12 lessons
Course 04
Bone and Thigh
Living bone — blast, clast, marrow, the calcium exchange — and the thigh as map: hamstrings on large intestine, the quads on small intestine, the tailor on triple warmer, the inner line on the heart’s cover. Class 4 lab as influence, not a dose. Fracture and anemia are doors out.
13 lessons
Course 05
Calf and Bone Quality
The lower leg as map — popliteus on gallbladder, the calves on triple warmer, the shin and fibularis on bladder — and three maps of bone difficulty, held at the cream, the parasite, and the brand. Class 5 lab as influence, not a dose. A hot joint is a door out.
13 lessons
Course 06
Cross-Bridge and Shoulder
The gap that closes — acetylcholine, the knob, calcium on troponin C, the ratchet toward the bare zone — and the shoulder as map. SITS named. Teres major not cuff. Class 6 lab as influence, not a dose. Leftover anesthetic is a door out.
13 lessons
Course 07
Spindle and Tension
She called it a 12-step. The board lists thirteen lines; step 11 is already true — actin already anchored to the Z-line — not a step that waits. Walk globin renamed as G-actin, then the spindle that watches length, then the gamma loop that can reset rest to chronic tension. Influence of the material, not a dose. Panic and a neck after trauma are doors out.
13 lessons
Course 08
Neck, Face, and Arm
Neck, face, and arm first — a map Course 07 would not invent. Stomach on most of the neck. Gallbladder on the bite. Large intestine on pronator. Then coalescence again, as its own sit. The Class 8 sequence ties both. Lesson 14 is the Unit I take-home — counted, not extra. Influence of the material, not a dose. A lock, a plexus, a chase: doors out.
14 lessons
Unit II · The inner rooms
Course 09
Mouth and Teeth
Class 9, Unit II. Cavities of the face, fluid and sticky saliva, a B-vitamin cascade that ends at riboflavin, teeth as a map like ear and hand. Influence of the material — lysine, molybdenum, zinc, and fluoride — as a question. A swallow that will not, a night airway, an abscess: doors out.
14 lessons
Course 10
The Stomach
Class 10, Unit II. The bag and its neighbors, pits and three cells, vagus and fear, pH 2, Oddi for bicarbonate. Protein in the stomach, starch waiting, fat taking lymph. Nurture as the meridian. Influence of the material — not a dropper of acid, not a medicine you unwrite. A bleed, a rigid abdomen: doors out.
13 lessons
Course 11
The Liver
Class 11, Unit II. Four jobs: bile, cholesterol with lecithin, glycogen, detox. Two rivers on one cell. Soap so lipase can work. CCK so the gallbladder can hear. Fairness as the meridian. Influence of the material — not a corn desensitization, not a hepatitis kit. Jaundice, fever, a child: doors out.
13 lessons
Course 12
The Pancreas
Class 12, Unit II. Acinar scissors, bicarbonate bath, islands that stash and retrieve. Two chains with a bridge. Sympathy as the gift. Influence of the material as a question. A meter, a child: doors out.
12 lessons
Course 13
The Intestines
Class 13, Unit II. Twenty-one feet, then four and a half. Two rivers, three last enzymes, a packet that reunites. Openness or a secret. Plenty or grief. A polyp belongs with a physician. A hand-trace is not a colonoscopy.
12 lessons
Course 14
Parasites
Class 14, Unit II. Visitors, not worms. Hand above the body. Pictures as a vibrational indicator. Kidney asked. Lift-off as dialog. Early pregnancy, a child, fever, a known Lyme, an antibiotic you would unwrite, a dose you write, a hunt: you stop.

12 lessons
Course 16
Allergy II
Class 16, Unit II. Histidine, leucine, rice, corn, oat as influence. Pollen as a memory, fumes as a toxin door too. Foods first, then the meadow, then the pump. A sting kit, Raynaud’s, glaucoma, a child, anaphylaxis: you stop. Copper, proline, and germanium stay names. A dose you write does not enter. The extra hour is the Unit II take-home.
13 lessons
Unit III · Glands, sense, coat
Course 17
Endocrine
Class 17. Ductless glands as a clock. Pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary. One story: the pineal makes serotonin; when light falls, two enzymes go down the stem; melatonin in the brain stem. Anterior builds, posterior stores. Thymus is named on the scatter, not as a target of the pea. Extra credit: the three in one head. A dose you write does not enter. Known endocrine disease, a pregnant body, a child, a hormone on a chart, a blow to the head: you stop.
13 lessons
