Shiatsu Thoughts: Authentic Self
I have been exploring others ideas in Shiatsu and find this often leaves me feeling less like myself. I sat down and wrote an article about this to help clarify my authentic self. I though it might be nice to share as we often have common experiences in being human. If you are experiencing this dynamic in your work maybe seeing me do this for myself might inspire the same in you. If you are interested in knowing more about my specific thoughts/experiences with shiatsu I share more those through this self exploration.

This wasn't done with the intention of sharing it with the world but to add something to the medicine for me personally. After a few conversations with ot...

This is a book on the translated expressions of the founder of Aikido throughout his life time. As I was listening I realized a lot of the expression in this b...

In this episode I share what is that I feel when I am working on someone. I often get this question after a session.

The insights are often gained through the theory established from thousands of years of Chinese medicine. What does this work look like if we remove a lot of the theory and express what the sensation of touching another person is like with an intent to restore health.

Time and Space
In this episode I explore how we can look at how someone is moving in relation to the world around them. It is through understanding the principles of yin and yang that we can determine what is proper timing. When this timing gets disrupted we can then make adjustments to the spaces that determine the proper movements in the body. This in turn can reset the body back to its proper timing and restore health.

Having specific motions associated with specific emotional states allow them to be recognized and balanced. It is important to see how these emotion states in some ways line up with our ideas of them and in someways might not. Understanding their movements might bring to light a sense of self that helps you define more clearly what emotions you may be experiencing and how to help balance them for yourself.
