Shiatsu is an age-old massage technique with both therapeutic and relaxing effects. Shiatsu literally means ‘hand pressure’. Using the pressure of palms, thumbs and elbows, applied to energy points called meridians, Shiatsu technique stimulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, invigorating and relaxing the muscular system. The Shiatsu technique relieves tensions and muscular pains, improving the duration and quality of sleep, providing essential rest for the mind as well as for the physical body. Shiatsu acts in the area called Hara (the abdomen), inducing a pleasant sensation of wellbeing, and stimulating the functions of all of the body’s organs.	Shiatsu not only treats the current symptoms of stress, it also helps prevent those complaints and ailments which are caused by prolonged energy disequilibrium, subtly unblocking the body’s neural paths. Besides its therapeutic value, and the lingering effect of wellbeing, your Shiatsu session provides yet another benefit of that ancient technique that is very important in modern times. We live in a world of rush and hustle and bustle, always on the move, one eye constantly on the clock, trying to get the most done in the shortest possible time. Some of us spend most of our days seated on badly designed chairs, in positions that are bad for both posture and body function, leading to stress, muscular aches and pains, tension headaches and/or stiffness of the joints, circulatory problems and muscular atrophy. Our sedentary lifestyle is also characterized by fatigue, overeating and undereating over periods of time – eating ‘not wisely but too well', as Shakespeare puts it, and living a lifestyle based on unnatural values. The end result of such lifestyle is a deterioration of the body and of the spiritual essence that is the source of our energy. Shiatsu really helps those suffering from fatigue, they feel their energy levels increase from session to session. And these improvements also provide benefits for the pulmonary (breathing) and circulatory functions. So take some free advice – walk instead of driving when possible, use the stairs instead of the elevator; drink lots of water (not always mixed with malt and hops!); eat always in moderation, and good food - not Mc-junk; speak calmly and with consideration; read good books, listen to good music, and most of all – enjoy the blessing of laughter, and the company of good friends. Live well, because your life is a divine gift – and you only have one, so take care of it! For your stress problems Zen-Shiatsu therapy is an excellent option, because it seeks to return your system to the path of spiritual and physical serenity that is so difficult to maintain in our modern world. Slow down, live well and in serenity ... take some time to smell the roses that flourish so abundantly but often unnoticed by the side of your life’s roadway …
