The mother of all our questions surely concerns the mystery that still surrounds life and death and involves the Universe and, within it, the living beings of our planet.
My presentation will focus on certain aspects related to the nature of the human organism, some of its modes of functioning through the amazing journey that will attempt to describe the wondrous combination by which the infinitely large is contained within infinitely small structures.
We will try to understand the mechanisms by which our organism operates, which is not only a “complex system” but an incredible set of “complex systems.”
Through the analysis of the main components of the human organism and their mechanisms of action, I will try to explain why, beyond the coordinated and balanced functioning that corresponds to a state of health and well-being stimulated by Shiatsu of every style, and beyond imbalance, which gives rise to discomfort or illness counteracted by Shiatsu of every style, there is a third state that we can call chaotic. This is by no means an illness, but rather one of the normal physiological mechanisms of functioning.
Through this perspective, we can consider the need to revise certain aspects of mechanistic medicine, also taking advantage of what quantum physics has provided us.
In this certainly exceptional and extraordinary reality, we must find the role and space that Shiatsu can have with great dignity and effectiveness.
