Meridians and Movement

pcab_adm_tb — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 21:34:51 +0000

We will show how to directly experience the Qi of the meridians though exploring archetypal movements. This gives the client a way to sense, understand and embody the energetic changes of the Shiatsu session. It also gives them a practice to do at home to continue deepening the process started by the Shiatsu. The work is based on Bill’s research into child development which showed that the meridians are the pathways along which babies learn to connect their body together through movement.

This approach makes the Shiatsu session more interactive, spontaneous and experimental and opens up the client’s awareness of themselves so that they can move away from being a victim of their condition.

Sei-Ki

Sei-Ki is the name that Akinobu Kishi Sensei gives to his own expression of manual therapy. Sei-Ki is a further development of his Shiatsu, and also a return to its origins.

What is Ki? Ki is “resonance” that is the work in Sei-Ki, just being there in empty space, doing nothing. That makes us who we are, that makes us shine, that connects us. Human bodies have a natural capacity to move towards health and balance. When this capacity is weakened, we become a shadow to ourselves.

Sei-Ki respects & works with this innate ability, and we regain our original vitality and health. The focus of Sei-Ki is on allowing and working with the natural inner movement towards health and balance, enhancing the ability of the individual to engage with life and employ their personal talents more fully.

Kishi Sensei encourages practitioners to dispense with once learned techniques of treatment and meet their clients in the moment, with ‘no-mind’ which allows the natural intelligence in the bodies to show. It means the Ki “resonance” which is present in the meeting is guiding the session spontaneously. I will try to share this experience with you.

Uketoru and Vital Resonance. Hado Shiatsu Supporting the Processes of Life

pcab_adm_tb — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 05:06:15 +0000

This seminar is designed as an experiential and reflective laboratory focused on Hado Shiatsu, an approach that integrates traditional Shiatsu practice with elements of quantum field physics. This leads to a vision of contact as a phenomenon of resonance rather than a symptomatic intervention
At the heart of the meeting is the Japanese principle of “Uketoru,” the practitioner’s ability to receive and recognize energy and information manifesting through connection with the receiver. From this perspective, Uketoru is not just an act of perception, but a threshold that provides access to a coherent relational field. In this field, the organism’s vital responses can emerge, self-organise and orient towards spontaneous rebalancing processes.

The workshop alternates between simplified yet rigorous scientific theory, touch demonstrations, partner practice and shared spaces, encouraging participants to delve deeper.
– The modulation of pressure and contact time in relation to energetic assessment.
– The use of neutral presence and activation of integrated senses as tools to resonate with the receiver’s entire system.
– The concept of supporting life as an emergent and coherent system response rather than a targeted action limited to symptom remission.
– The quantum paradigm of Hado Shiatsu explored operatively: vibration (Hado) is not here a theoretical abstraction but a vitality parameter, a perceptible quality of the field expressed through touch, breath, and relationship. This aspect of Ki inherently carries self-healing connotations and focuses on deep self-respect. Thus, resonance naturally arises between the oscillations of our heart and the beauty of the universe.

Learning Objectives:
– Introduce the fundamentals of Hado Shiatsu as a practice that supports life through resonance.
– Offer practical tools to access deep listening (Uketoru).
– Develop greater perceptual sensitivity in the bodily relationship.
– Promote understanding of touch as a clinical and relational act.

Required Materials:
Projector and screen for slide presentations, flip chart, markers, futons, and cushions.
