Multiple Points of Contact
Therapeutic Use of Knees, Elbows, Feet and Forearms
The sensation of life is, I believe, the sensation of two-as-oneness. - Shizuto Masunaga

Learn to apply two, three or four points of pressure that feel as one.
When we make multiple points of contact with the receiver, they immediately relax. The feeling of "two-as-oneness" that Masunaga describes goes deeply into their subconscious, and gives them a sense of feeling deeply nurtured.
In this workshop, we will explore the sensitive and effective use of knees, elbows, feet, forearms in establishing up to four or more multiple points of contact, to engage the entire meridian and impart an unparalleled sense of flow.
Shiatsu in the Seated Position
New Angles of Exploration
There is great scope for work in this position. The receiver can be made aware of the natural potential for uprightness and movement in the torso. - Carola Beresford-Cooke, Shiatsu: Theory and Practice

The Seated Position allows for dynamic movement and angles of approach. It adds variety to a treatment and makes an inventive transition between prone and supine positions.
The seated position allows the client to experience a rag-doll sense of surrender, to both gravity and the movements of the giver.
Topics will include:
- Transitions into and out of the seated position
- Approaches for treating individual meridians in the seated position
- Full-body stretches and twists
Summer Sizzle
Fire Element Signs and Syndromes
Having purified the great delusion, the heart's darkness,
the radiant light of the unobscured sun continuously rises.

Let your spirit rest in your heart.
In this course, we will review and refine your undestanding of all the traditional associations of the fire phase; physical, emotional and spiritual. We will use Masunaga kyo/jitsu theory as well as TCM zang/fu organ network syndromes to look at common fire patterns that show up in our clients and ourselves, and how to best treat them. Guided meditations will help you identify the workings of the fire phase in your own life.
