Seiki
Posted by tfootitt on July 14, 2008
I’m currently in my postgraduate year after fully qualifying last year as a Shiatsu Practitioner, continuing to develop myself in my practice and working towards receiving a full MRSS accreditation with the Shiatsu Society (http://www.shiatsusociety.org/public/index.shtml). I’m currently a registered graduate practitioner with them.
With this in mind I attended a weekend workshop on Seiki taught by Sensei Akinobu Kishi. Kishi develped “Seiki Soho, a new method of healing – a synthesis of all his life’s work experience and research. He came to realise the Ki (energy) in the human body, like the Ki in nature, has its own self-rebalancing movement. Sometimes, due to individual, social and cultural habits, the the body’s tendency to correct itself, becomes stagnant and we experience disease. Instead of trying to change the client’s condition, the Seiki practitioner supports the self-correcting tendency of the client’s body. In Seiki, after recognition of the signs where the energy is trying to re-balance itself, sensitive touch is applied to key points, allowing the natural adjustment to take its own momentum.” (http://www.lifehealingarts.org/html/KishiBiog.htm).
It was a wonderful experience and I feel priviliged to have been taught by Kishi and his wife Kyoko and to have been able to experience a treatment from Kishi.
I felt amazing after the treatment, my whole body, especially my spine felt lighter and open.
The group dynamics were fantastic and I met some really lovely people, thanks to everyone involved for a really special weekend.
