The application of Shiatsu is directed at maintaining health, and re-creating health in a symptomatic body. It does this by stimulating the bodies capabilities to heal and correct itself. Shiatsu looks at the body holistically, in that it is a presentation of the thoughts, emotions, feelings, and one¹s way of being and expressing in the world. Symptoms can be tended to, but more importantly, the underlying energetic imbalances are addressed. CREATING YUAN YUAN is the energetic flow between two people. The greater this energetic flow, the greater the healing possibility. A consultation to determine what the needs of the client are, begins the process of bringing giver and receiver into relationship, and allows the practitioner to intuit with objectivity and compassion where the Ki is blocked or weak.
