At its core, Zen Shiatsu is a practice of mindful presence and non-doing, where the practitioner cultivates a state of emptiness to become a clear channel for healing energy.

The 'Zen' in Zen Shiatsu refers to more than just a technique; it's a state of being. It emphasises:

• Presence: The practitioner maintains a focused, meditative state throughout the session.

• Non-judgment: Approaching the body without preconceptions, allowing intuition to guide the treatment.

• Emptiness: Clearing the mind to attune fully to the client's energy.

• Interconnectedness: Recognizing the unity between practitioner and client, body and mind.

Through gentle yet firm pressure along energy pathways, Zen Shiatsu aims to restore balance and promote the free flow of vital energy.

Beyond the physical touch, it's the quality of presence—the Zen mind—that distinguishes this practice, creating a space where deep healing can occur naturally.

In essence, Zen Shiatsu is as much a spiritual practice as it is a healing modality, inviting both practitioner and client into a state of mindful awareness and harmony.

As a support to acupuncture, shiatsu is an important step in preparation.
