Zen Shiatsu III
Multiple Points of Contact
10-week course
June 22 - August 24
Wednesdays, 7-10pm
Zen Shiatsu is an art, a dance and an improvisation. It is also effortless for the giver, yet extremely powerful. In Zen Shiatsu III, you will begin to develop your technique as an art and meditation. You will learn to use your entire body as a graceful whole, including your elbows, knees, feet and limbs. In this way, you will learn to save your own body and work deeply without force.
This course continues the journey into the Five Phases as tools for pattern recognition. In-depth study of each element from the perspective of character and temperament highlight the course. Students practice self-assessment to deeply acquaint themselves with their own personal history and understanding of the presence and power of the Five Phases in every living system. Correlation of the Five Phase discoveries to the actual feel of the meridian channels deepens practical understanding about how choices are made in the treatment protocol.
Students also refine their casewriting ability, with an eye to writing documents that will be shared and reviewed in an integrated health care environment.
This class is part of our complete Shiatsu Certification Program. Beginning Zen Shiatsu and Zen Shiatsu II are prerequisite to this course.
The required textbook is Zen Shiatsu by Shizuto Masunaga.
