Shiatsu is a contemporary bodywork therapy which allows the mind and the body to work together harmoniously, helping to restore the great natural balance of the individual and the world. It is about making connections: connections to heaven that awaken and brighten us, helping us to reach health, happiness and peace; and connections to earth that let us fulfil the purpose of our lives.
The centre of Shiatsu is the sense of touch, offering a profound system of diagnosis and healing that seeks to help people by working with a person's natural forces - the meridian lines or energy channels whose malfunction can cause disorder and disease.
In 'Essential Shiatsu' Yuichi Kawada combines the preventative care of traditional shiatsu, and its twelve principal Meridians, with the crucial role of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians as rescue and emergency forces, while also drawing on traditional Eastern wisdom such as the I Ching and The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.
