Quantum Shiatsu
Asian Bodywork Therapy- Quantum Shiatsu encompasses Chakra work and DNA Activation
The energetics of our bodies and the planet is now moving at a much quicker rate. The technique of doing shiatsu on the table reflects that. The techniques involved have a lighter feel to them and the physical work of shiatsu may be sharper and faster to be more effective.
The Yin energies are becoming more dominant, and this leads to expansion of the energetic body. This is what we keep in mind to increase what you see and feel during a treatment.
DNA Activation- Just as the meridians are energetic structures, so is virtual DNA. Virtual DNA may also be called latent DNA structures.
Since 1990, researchers have discovered that intent has molecular consequences. All cells have receptors and memory. Intent has the ability to vibrate or stimulate these receptors. Generally, this is what activation of virtual DNA is all about. DNA is physical, energetic and directional templates, -information packets, which can control and direct certain developments based on how they are activated.
Chakra and Etheric Bodywork-
The work will begin from the point of the meridians, expanding them - which is the connection to the Ether Body. When the meridians are expanded, the energy around the body is more palpable. This is the beginning of working “off the body” - how you can palpate the energetic fields around the physical and get in touch with the Chakras. The chakras are doorways for our consciousness. They are doorways through which emotional, mental, and spiritual force flow into physical expression. They are openings through which our attitudes and belief systems enter into and create our body/mind structure. The energy created from our emotions and mental attitudes runs through the chakras and is distributed to our cells, tissues, and organs.
Cupping
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Gua Sha
Although Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique used by Chinese Medicine practitioners for thousands of years, it is relatively unknown in the West. It is recognized throughout Asia as a highly effective treatment for chronic pain conditions, stress, fatigue, and a host of other ailments.
First, Gua Sha oil is applied to a specific meridian (energy pathway) on your body. I then use a smooth round-edged object (such as a spoon) to apply short brisk strokes to that area. This creates red patches of skin (called "Sha"), detoxifying your blood and restoring the healthy flow if Qi (energy) to the area. There is no pain involved, and the Sha will fade in 2 to 3 days. But the sense of health and vitality you experience from it will last much longer.
Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing- ZB -Developed by Fritz Smith, MD in the early 1970s, Zero Balancing is a powerful body-mind therapy that uses skilled touch to address the relationship between energy and structures of the body. Following a protocol that typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, the practitioner uses finger pressure and gentle traction on areas of tension in the bones, joints and soft tissue to create fulcrums, or points of balance, around which the body can relax and reorganize. Zero Balancing focuses primarily on key joints of our skeleton that conduct and balance forces of gravity, posture and movement. By addressing the deepest and densest tissues of the body along with soft tissue and energy fields, Zero Balancing helps to clear blocks in the body’s energy flow, amplify vitality and contribute to better postural alignment. A Zero Balancing session leaves you with a wonderful feeling of inner harmony and organization.
