Shiatsu 3a

Level 3a - Masunaga Meridian Shiatsu Part 1

Course content

This course focuses on the first half of Masunaga's meridian system as applied in Zen Shiatsu. At the beginning of this level, the corresponding traditional meridian courses are repeated and deepened. From there, the extensions are explored. Together with new techniques (including seated work, deepening of Yu points and transformational phases), working with the meridians offers a variety of new treatment possibilities. The importance of the 'home' of an energetic organ/meridian as the focus of a treatment is addressed, fine energetic work in deep contact is practiced, and the energetic states of Kyo and Jitsu are considered.
