Shiatsu is a manual art, a gentle practice, adapted to the specific characteristics and needs of the person receiving it. Compared to other kind of treatments, Shiatsu works through the deep pressure of the hands, fingers and elbows on areas, points and meridians of the body, in order to activate the vitality of these areas. The recipient perceives a pleasant contact and stimulus, which will allow any muscular or energetic blockages to be dissolved. When Operator and Recipient abandon themselves to listening to the body, Shiatsu can bring its best benefits.
My Shiatsu treatment, in particular, is based on the approach of Classical Chinese Medicine. It works like acupuncture but, instead of needles, uses a deep touch, to awaken your life power and support your energy.
During and after the session, you will feel the difference between having a body and being a body: your breathing becomes deeper and more aware, your mind clears from the fog of thoughts, a deeper but also lighter sensitivity emerges, your essence emerges.
Tensions, contractures and joint pain will be alleviated, for this reason it is recommended for athletes: to reactivate energy, relax muscles, to support physical effort and motivation to reach your goals.
Shiatsu and Chinese Medicine are particularly useful in delicate life moments of transition: therefore during pregnancy, menopause, andropause or important changes, such as a move or a separation.
“[…] Ch’i Po said: the utmost in the art of healing can be achieved when there is unity. The Emperor inquired: what is meant by unity? Ch’i Po answered: when the minds of the people are closed and wisdom is locked out they remain tied to disease. Yet their feelings and desires should be investigated and made known, their wishes and ideas should be followed; and then it becomes apparent that those who have attained spirit and energy are flourishing and prosperous, while those perish who lost their spirit and energy”
(from the Nei Ching)
When you regularly receive a treatment, even every 15 days, you can maintain psycho-physical well-being and you vitality will be supported and stimulated on a deep level. Each session gives you a lightness sensation.
NB: my shiatsu treatments do not use acupuncture and are not intended as medical or health care, but are practices for health improvement and maintenance.
