HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN
Ki is Japanese word that literally translates as ‘food + air becomes energy.’ However, in the martial and healing arts of Japan and China it is often used to refer to what we might think of as a life force. It is the metabolism of the body directed by consciousness. It is also thought of as the binding force or energy that permeates all matter. In a recent book by Dr Daniel Keown has explained Ki as intelligent metabolism or organisational energy.
Shiatsu Studies the flow of kin in the body Ki in the body, Ki is in constant motion, the movement of yin and yang, pain and disease are understood to the result from blockages in the movement of Ki. Flow of Ki is stymied by the tension. Where there are tensions there is constriction of blood and energy circulation. Shiatsu by Encouraging and bringing awareness to the flow of Ki alleviates chronic and inappropriate tension in the muscles and fascia and in this way, there is an improvement to posture and muscles tone.
The Shiatsu Therapist manipulates the flow of Ki through meridians or channels of Ki that run through the myofascial layers, of the body. Points along the meridians ‘tsubo’ or acupuncture points offer greater access to the energy flow. Most acupuncture points are in areas of the body where muscles and tendons attach to the bones, between tendons at joints, on the bellies of muscles and tendons and joints. Concurrently the influence of this stimulation is transmitted to the whole body via the metrician on which the acupuncture points is located. In this way the health of the whole body is enhances in energy Shiatsu treatment, and greater.
