Ki Counselling — “Life Supports Shiatsu”
ROBERTO LAZZARO
Workshop: Theoretical and Practical, 2 hours
Languages spoken: Italian and basic English and French
Conducted by: alone
Theory:
Shiatsu takes an integral view of the reality it relates to. Uke is a receiving unit and Tori is a practicing unit.
The symptom is an invitation to change. Personal stories are always implicit, can be unconscious but never separated from symptoms.
Energy at every moment is present in limited, optimal, or excessive amounts.
Life is always present. It can only be limited by lifestyle, behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs.
Life is like grass, fragile when the wind blows strongly, powerful when it seeks the light breaking through asphalt, exciting when observed closely, sacred when lived from within, infinite when you rest in it. R.V.L.
Shiatsu and awareness can ally with life and integrate into the treatment by grounding in the present, with power, respect, and sacredness the energy that can support, give strength to Uke on the path toward oneself. A Uke capable of sustaining a more harmonious, more authentic vision of their existence and on the other hand capable of recovering the useless effort toward a dispersive elsewhere.
Practice:
Walking the void, practicing respect, practicing trust, listening, observation, allying with the process. Feeling, thinking, acting. Living mandalas. The Five Elements are actually the constitutive elements of the human system.
Looking beyond the stage, beyond the lights, at the heart of life itself they can be translated into energetic qualities, expressions of nature, archetypes, principles, qualities or essences, forces or mirrors in which one can deeply observe one’s own and others’ existence.
The human being has not changed in their intimate essence, in their fundamental structures.
The human being is the greatest champion of their existence when they realize the immensity within them recognizing themselves beyond themselves, find their place in the world, will find the meaning of their existence. They will feel on their path, understand the Way to follow and will have the strength to do so.
Once the field is built, Shiatsu treatment will ally with the process and support Life.
