Performing Kiatsu® on a student
What Is Kiatsu®?
Ki is living power. It is the energy of the universe that flows through us strongly when we are relaxed, focused, and unify our mind, body, and spirit. Kiatsu is the process of putting Ki into ourselves or another person to help stimulate one’s own natural healing abilities.
The Kiatsu practitioner unifies mind, body, and spirit using meditation while practicing good posture. The practitioner then touches the part of the body that is being treated with a mild to moderate amount of pressure.
We have observed anecdotally that muscles relax, circulation improves, and swelling is reduced. Pain usually decreases as a result.
Subjects learn to do this for themselves. By practicing deep breathing and improving posture, subjects can reduce stress in their daily life.
