The Echo of Life – Working with the Positive Movement of Ki
CLIFF ANDREWS
Masunaga described the connection we have in Shiatsu as sharing the ‘Echo of Life‘
In this practical workshop we will be discovering how to maximise that connection to support the positive life-force of our receiver.
How can we best communicate with our receiver on all levels, and work with them to optimise the effects of the Shiatsu and the value of their experience?
Recently Cliff has been collaborating with both Dr Cindy Engel and with Nick Pole. Cindy’s breakthrough work on Somatic Empathy (‘Another Self – How Your Body Helps You Understand Others’) reveals the extraordinary ways in which our body’s innate pre-verbal intelligence helps us to ‘read’ what’s happening for our receivers. Nick specialises in using Clean Language and Mindfulness to allow body and mind to communicate and support somatic change (‘Words that Touch: How to Ask Questions Your Body Can Answer’).
Inspired by these collaborations, Cliff is excited to share how we can integrate these insights from somatic empathy, psychobiology, clean language and mindfulness – into our practical Shiatsu energy work!
Together we will be exploring how to:
• Access the positive movement of Ki – using the ‘Outcome Question’
• Develop our Somatic Empathy – using Mindfulness
• Connect Kyo and Jitsu with the receiver’s whole Ki Field
• Integrate practical techniques and assess the effects of Tsubos
