Classical Homeopathic medicine
Shiatsu
Energy 'Qi' flows through meridians that are connected to each organ in Spirallic form.
The direction of the meridians are upward towards Heaven (Yin meridian) or downward towards earth (Yang meridian.)
The precious organ is the solid; and the coupled organ is the hollow, example being the Kidneys and Bladder, the YIN Kidney and The Yang Bladder, all organs are paired.
The pairs are symbolically married pairs, the solid organ will be on the YIN meridian and the hollow (bowel organ,) will be on the YANG meridian, the direction the energy flows is opposite, like the symbols of yin and yang and are directly related to the organs and seasons.
Unlike muscular therapeutic styles of massage, Asian Bodywork, (though it treats the soft tissue and your muscles by virtue of touch) because it is on the same premise, (no needles,) as Acupuncture, the focus is on balancing the Qi of the organs and parasympathetic nervous.
The healing is more than a full body massage. 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 facilitating the deepest states of relaxation and meditation and easing the symptoms of acute and chronic disabilities;
At the beginning of your treatment the "Yu" points are treated with firm (yet gentle,) pressure, these points facilitate deep meditation as well as healing.
Using fingers, hands, feet, elbows, GENTLY and DEEPLY penetrating, it is not like other forms of 'massage'.
Spring is the time of the TREE 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.
The emotion that rules the Liver is anger, a healthy liver will not be driven by anger, but will use anger to dispel another out of balance emotion in an organ i.e. the Fall controls the Lungs, the emotion of Lungs is grief, so in the case of excess grief a healthy dose of anger will dispel the grief, anger can set things right in this case, a disturbed Liver will actually create an imbalance of the natural FIRE of the Heart.
Summer is the FIRE element and rules the Heart and Small Intestines.
(looking up the sand dunes of the BEACHCOMBER in Wellfleet one fun reggae day)
Summer times emotion is JOY or lack there of.
It is a good time to express your love and internal happiness.
The heart rules 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, short term by the Kidneys, these two together form an Axis that is disturbed in Autistic Spectrum Disorder and should be treated on a regular basis.
Certain points on these channels along with work on the respective Meridians (energetic pathways on the body,) connected to these organs are very helpful for treating these conditions.
Don't let a good mind get sluggish, tune up your heart and you will reap the rewards.
ABT facilitates the natural healing of all the organs, season by season.
During treatment you WILL (Kidneys rule WILLPOWER,) feel the physical and/or mental and emotional pain released out of your being and replaced with well being.
The times of seasonal change (around the solstices and equinoxes) are especially good for maintaining health.
You can expect to have positive changes, that don't fade away, but to continue to circulate and renew
