INNER EARTH Holistic Health & Education “The basic and most important principle underlying health is the balancing of our life force and maintenance and reliance on our body’s own natural healing power. Medicine of any kind, be it natural or chemical, are only secondary.” ~Shizuto Masunaga Zen-Shiatsu Originating in Japan, Zen-Shiatsu is a methodology of manipulation that emphasizes correction and maintenance of bone structure, joints, tendons, muscles, the autonomic nervous system and internal organ functioning. Zen-Shiatsu balances the meridians in the body through the tonification of deficiencies and the dispersal of excesses with the intention of restoring energy flow throughout the body. Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine is integrated as a diagnostic tool. Through stretching and stimulation of acupressure points, Zen-Shiatsu works directly to: *Calm the autonomic nervous system *Increase one’s resistance to stress *Help blood and lymph circulation *Improve and maintain muscle tone and internal organ function Connecting with BREATH is our intention. Sessions occur on a 100% cotton cushioned floor mat or on a massage table and the recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing. Zen-Shiatsu technique may be integrated into a Therapeutic Massage treatment as well.
