Shiatsu is about energy, it is about projection of energy, it is about being a conduit for universal energy, it is about re-aligning a recipients energy; but it is also about pressure, the physical stimulus of selected trigger points, about physical releasing of toxins that had become locked into tissue, about releasing spasms and about correcting posture; it is about working on pressure points and releasing physical blocks to energy pathways. It also involves releasing the body armour, the muscles tightness that indicates locked in emotional stress.

There are many styles of Shiatsu some are predominantly about the physical work. In other styles the energy work predominates.
The relative importance of the ratio between physical and energy work will vary with each patient and the conditions presented at the time of the treatment.

The therapist works on the pathways of energy that run around the body, gentle pressure is applied at points along these pathways, with the intention of ensuring a balance and easy flow of energy around the body. Some gentle stretching and easy manipulation may also be involved.
Shiatsu is used for: i.e. to treat. Stress, tension, specific pains and injuries, chronic conditions in general, non specific conditions where there is a reduction in wellbeing. Recovery from trauma and ill health. Back pain and injury. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, hormonal problems, head aches, migraine, and just about anything you need.
Magnetic Therapy is also about energy, and the use of magnets to free up and stimulate the flows of energy and of blood within the body.

Shiatsu and Magnetic Therapy are complementary to each other and good results can be achieved by the use of magnets and magnetically enhanced support wraps, betwee
Shiatsu sessions. Both seek to improve the balance of internal forces within the holistic person. Both can use the ancient meridians and points of acupuncture, but without needles or any form of penetration of the skin. Both can be of great help with muscular problems and the combination of Shiatsu treatments with Magnetic therapy devices worn betwee
Shiatsu sessions can speed up recovery.

Magnets do not wear out; not with normal use and normal human time spans. The energy given out by a permanent magnet returns to it, the balancing and correcting being done as the forces pass through the body. To find a way of visualising this, consider a river with logs trying to flow down stream but the logs are all over the place muddled up some at right angles to the river banks others at sixty degrees etc, a mess. Then consider what happens to the flow of logs, if they are all orientated in the same direction of parallel to the river banks. They flow effortlessly with the river water. This is what magnets can do to the flows of blood and fluids within the body. This is also what Shiatsu and Magnetic therapy can do to the flows of energy and life forces within the body.

In every aspect of our lives intuition is the principle guiding force and the intellect is the tool that enables us to go in the direction chosen by our intuition. Complete and eclectic (wide ranging, all embracing) training with really absorbed knowledge are vital for good treatment. Really absorbed knowledge is that knowledge which has become almost unconscious knowledge, that which is known without conscious logical reasoning. Only with these things can the practitioner allow their intuitive senses to guide them into which parts of their intellectual knowledge they use at any moment in time.

We are adapted to survive mild exposures to radiation. After all, the sun is a kind of controlled nuclear bomb and it releases a lot of radiation. Of course, this radiation, and man-made radiation, can also cause cancer and a host of short- and long-term health problems.

"Raw Foods" is a popular phrase these days that is often misunderstood, yet represents a powerful, grass roots health movement. Some people shun the idea, not knowing what it means. Others embrace the idea, not knowing what it means. And that's no wonder, since there are many different interpretations of what it means to be on a raw food diet. Personally, I advocate a plant-based raw food diet. In other words, I suggest eating green leafy vegetables, sea vegetables, other vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted seeds, and fruit.
