Heart of Eastern Body/Mind Therapy
Shiatsu-Do is based on the principles of Zen Philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, integrated with Japanese Bodywork (including Anma and Zen Shiatsu).
In a shiatsu-do treatment session, a holistic view of the receiver is used to help awaken the body’s innate healing ability, to release emotional blockages, and to restore life essence and present awareness.
Shiatsu-do is an experience of spirit that embraces body and mind in a euphoric way.
An assessment is made to find the quality of vitality rooted in the abdomen/hara (the hara is where the functions of body, mind and spirit manifest), to determine how to unblock and rebalance the yin/yang meridian system, and to free the natural flow of electromagnetic energy (Qi or Ki) with intuitive touch.
The physical techniques include: stretching, leaning, tapping, rubbing, kneading, thumbing, palming, and holding.
Shiatsu-Do activates the parasympathetic nervous system, releases melatonin, improves circulation and immunity.
The whole session is given on a futon, and the receiver is fully clothed.
Precaution to Clients
If you consume alcohol, refined sugar, caffeine, nicotine or drugs (pharmaceutical, recreational, addictive), Shiatsu-Do may cause minor side effects as part of a detoxification stage, leading to body purification.
Side effects may include headache, nausea, mucus discharge, swelling, bruising, numbness, dark urine, light-headedness, disorientation or fatigue.
Maintain good hydration and rest after each session.
It is your responsibility to take care of your internal health.
