The Art of Touch
Originating in Japan and rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, Shiatsu is a form of whole body treatment through touch.
A mindful and sensitive touch can bring the body into a state of deep relaxation, allowing it to release all forms of stress and tension, while re-centering and re-balancing itself on physical, mental, and emotional levels.
A “listening” touch can act as a mirror, giving the body the opportunity to activate its self-healing abilities.
A touch guided by what is present, without any intention of manipulation, fosters and encourages acceptance.
A touch in contact, in resonance, can accompany the body in its current state and respond to its needs.
A touch that guides by letting itself be guided can touch the essence.
This is what personally resonates with me about Shiatsu and what nourishes my practice.
