Personal Kiatsu®
Living energy, or Ki, flows strongly in a healthy body. The flow of Ki is weaker in a body that is ill, injured, or overtired.
We use Kiatsu® to restore a vigorous flow of Ki and activate the body’s natural healing processes.
What is Kiatsu®?
Kiatsu® is energy touch that stimulates the body’s natural healing. Kiatsu® is energizing and natural.
Kiatsu® stimulates the flow of Ki, which is living energy. When Ki flows freely, tension evaporates, inflammation decreases, and the body’s natural healing occurs faster. Kiatsu® can have an especially positive effect on new injuries, and also the brain, as documented in our published study: The Beneficial Effects of Kiatsu™.
We begin by calming the mind so that Ki flows freely. Then we place our hands on our partner gently. As Ki flows, after a short time, the body’s healing processes become activated. As we proceed, there is no need to massage the tissue. Simply maintain contact with the hands and continue to concentrate on the flow of Ki.
What Happens in a Kiatsu® Class?
We begin with gentle, invigorating movements that loosen up all of our joints and promote good posture. We practice mind-body activities that help us develop calm focus and allow Ki to flow freely.
We perform simple activities with a partner to learn how to use the natural power of Ki. Then, we practice Kiatsu® (touch with living energy) with a partner to stimulate the body’s natural healing. Kiatsu® is always helpful and relaxing for both people.
Because of the small class size, you will get plenty of hands-on assistance from the instructor. Classes generally last 1.5 to 2 hours.
