Zen Touch Shiatsu
ZT shiatsu, a form of energy meridian acupressure, is both an effective form of health assessment and therapy as well a nurturing form of body/energy work that mutually enhances the health of both the receiver and practitioner..... Yes, Zen-Touch™ Shiatsu is equally beneficial for both practitioner and client. The theoretical background is founded on balancing or integrating our health condition with the forces of nature described in Eastern Philosophy as t Yin/Yang and the 5 Movements or Elements.
People most frequently report enhanced vitality, pain relief, and heightened health awareness accompanied by a sense of freedom and peacefulness.
ZT practitioners draw from a wide range of improvised techniques that make each session a uniquely personalized experience. When appropriate, a session can resemble a yoga- like dance that is choreographed by the practitioner to initiate increased range of movement for body mind spirit. At the opposite extreme a session may look very simple and passive when the practitioner finds it necessary to hold "points" for extended periods of time.
Most often, sessions, like a symphony ebb and flow with varying tempos and movements. In addition to the Zen-Touch™ "Moves", practitioners provide lifestyle recommendations actively, through verbal discussion or passively, through the "energetic empathy " attitude of the practitioner that initiates "osmosis"-like changes for the client . The overall effect of a Zen-Touch session is a state of body/mind balance where a person is better equipped to transform her/his health condition from within.
