classical Homeopathic medicine
Shiatsu, not muscular therapy, though your muscles will have never felt better.
Shiatsu is whole person treatment, Physically, Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually and individualized to the uniqueness of YOU.
Activation of all the Chakras of the Endocrine system is facilitated, inducing the deepest states of relaxation and meditation treating the symptoms of acute and chronic disabilities.
Using fingers, hands, feet, elbows, GENTLY and DEEPLY penetrating.
Qi' (CHI) or 'vital force' or the Immune System, it is where we generate health, total rejuvenation is experienced from the treatment.
"Yu" points are treated, at the beginning of the treatment, these acupressure points are located on the sides of the spinal cord and are related to the nerve pathways connecting directly to the organs.
Stimulation of these points facilitate deep healing of the associated organ.
The Meridians are channels where the QI (CHI) flows, that transverse the body, from the YU points of the spine and form pairs of the YIN or YANG organs.
The pairs are symbolically married pairs.
The precious organ is the solid YIN; and the coupled organ is hollow YANG.
The solid organs are on the YIN (heavens force,) meridians, located in the soft inner body, inner arms, legs and torso.)
The hollow (bowel organ,) will be on the YANG (earth force,) meridian, located on the harder outer arms, legs and the back.
The precious YIN organs are where the life force is stored in the form of Blood, Qi, and body fluids, only refined substances store in the YIN organs, the YANG organs excrete the waste.
The coupled organ's rules a particular element.
Heart (YIN) and Small intestine (YANG) FIRE
Spleen (YIN) and Stomach (YANG) EARTH
Lung (YIN) and Large Intestine (YANG) METAL
Kidney (YIN) and Bladder (YANG) WATER
Liver (YIN) and Gallbladder (YANG) WOOD
Fire NOURISHES Earth, Earth NOURISHES Metal, Metal NOURISHES Water, Water NOURISHES Wood, Wood NOURISHES Fire
Fire CONTROLS Metal, Metal CONTROLS Wood, Wood CONTROLS Earth, Earth CONTROLS Water, Water CONTROLS Fire.
All the coupled organs have a rulership over a season, as well as an emotion, over a system in the body and many other components
Spring is the time of the TREE/WOOD element (upward moving energy) and rules the Liver, the YIN solid organ and its paired organ is the Gallbladder YANG hollow (bowel,) organ. The Liver rules the eyes.
Anger and compassion are the emotions that control the Liver.
Summer is the FIRE element and rules the Heart and Small Intestines, the Small Intestines heats up and clarifies, it governs the separation of the clear from the turbid ...
Summer is fire time and rules over the Heart and Small Intestines.
The emotion of summer is JOY or lack there of.
It is a good time to nurture love and internal happiness.
The spirit of the Heart is referred to as Shen, Shen rules the mind and when the heart is out of balance can creat a chaotic mind, long term memory is controled by the Heart.
Tune up your Heart and you will reap the rewards.
Stomach is EARTH season, a short season between summer and fall, around mid August, the Stomach is worry and the Spleen is thinking, the Stomach rules the mouth.
The Lungs is METAL season, and is FALL,The Lungs control grief.
The Large Intestine is controls letting go.
Theses organs are partners in the process of elimination in our body, the skin is part of this element, conditions such as eczema and chronic fatigue (loss of metal,) are due to imbalance in these organs.
The Kidneys is the WATER element.
The KIDNEY rules the emotions of FEAR and WILL POWER the season that the Kidneys rule over is the winter.
Water has the ability to change effortlessly without losing its essential character.
Essence, is taken from our parents at conception, it is referred to as pre-heaven Qi, essence is the foundation of marrow and rules the bones, but it is significantly more important than bone marrow in the western concept, in traditional Chinese medicine marrow makes up the bone, the bone marrow, the brain and spinal column, if the Kidneys are strong the brain function will be strong.
The Kidneys control all functions of the sex organs and reproductive function.
All emotions are normal part of life in a balance state, but keeping the balance is a full time job for your body with everyday stress never mind the added burden of a strong shock such as a death or a strong ailment from anger, grief or fear.
Shiatsu and natural Acupressure Therapy will help facilitate the Qi to do its job of nourishing the organs; therefore allowing the deepest levels of health and healing.

Massage therapy is defined as a way to provide relief and improved health and well-being through the application of manual techniques for manipulating skin, muscles and connective tissues. ABT is defined as a way to provide relief and improved health and well-being based on Chinese medical principles through one or more of the traditional bodywork therapies of Asia.
