Biography
Born in Japan, 1951.
He experienced a glimpse of enlightenment in India in 1980 and then returned to Japan but completely lost all sense of awakening. Back in a high-pace, stressful society, he started to search for whatever was need to regain his previous state-of-mind.
In 1990 he encountered Kinesiology and started to use it for meditation.
He learned several kinds of Kinesiology: “Three in One” from Gordon Stokes & Daniel Whiteside, ”Touch for Health” from John F. Thie, and the “Brain Gym(R)” from Paul Dennison & Carla Hannaford.
He was elected the Faculty Representative for the International Kinesiology College (IKC) for Japan. He created the Zen Counseling method in 2000, and the Zen Kinesiology method in 2003.
He has taught about Zen Counseling and Zen Kinesiology to more than 300 people from 30 countries including Japan, India, Indonesia, India, Germany, Switzerland, France, Ireland, and the United States. Many times as much as 80 percent of participants succeeded in reaching mini-enlightenment, helping bring on a new age of Satori.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Zen Kinesiology / Zen Counseling Kenichi Dharma Ishimaru
I come from Japan, the country where Zen flourished. My nickname is Dharma – from Bodhidharma – the name of the founder of Zen.
In this life I have found a modern way of Zen: Kinesiology. Perhaps I was a Zen monk in a past life!
To me, Kinesiology is Zen, and with this approach I have gained tremendous benefits from Kinesiology. I will be happy if you understand that Kinesiology is more effective when regarded as Zen.
The vision of Zen is so simple: everyone is a buddha, an enlightened being. By practicing Zen meditation you can get to know your true self, and attain the final spiritual state in which there is no more suffering or desire. The method of Zen meditation is so simple: just sitting silently or walking with awareness. But the daily practice of Zen meditation is so boring and difficult that historically, only a few have attained enlightenment!
Don’t you think that many more people could attain the highest happiness if there were a far better and far easier method to access your true self? Anyway, I thought that Kinesiology could be the alte ative method to Zen meditation when I experienced a Kinesiology session for the first time in 1990.
