Healing Lotus Zen Shiatsu Therapy

Its origins are rooted in both Chinese and Japanese medicine. The work is based on balancing, harmonizing and supporting our innate healing process. Our self-healing ability is based on the free flow of our cosmic life force, which is called QI. Day-to-day living can cause a state of dis-ease. Thus obstructing, stagnating or limiting the movement of this vital energy. The Chinese texts say that th

ere are rivers of QI that flow throughout the body, called meridians. Along these channels are acu-points. Shi means finger and Atsu means pressure in Japanese. Gentle finger pressure, usually, thumb pressure or palm pressure, is applied along the meridians to support opening up the smooth flow of energy throughout the body. Shiatsu works on the physical body and opens up the release of obstruction and stagnation of the mental and emotional aspects of being. Shiatsu is very relaxing and balancing for overall well-being, body, mind and spirit. Shiatsu is a fully clothed form of bodywork.
