12 - 13 June 2010 in Rome

Partnership with NIPPON CLUB Center in Rome

A Hands-On Workshop for Shiatsu Practitioners and Students with Sam Berlind COI Senior NY

Be more effective and confident in your practice

 

“Don’t do anything, just be there," is a wonderful principle for meditation but people who come to receive treatments from us are thinking, "Do something!" They come to us with specific problems and ailments. "It hurts right there….please help me."

 

As advanced practitioners and professionals we need to be able to respond to these situations directly and effectively. In this seminar we will refine our ability to deal with structural and movement related imbalances, learn how to problem solve and develop our common sense. We will do this as a group, working together, and then practice in pairs with supervision. Come ready to have fun and experiment with new ideas.

 

During this two day workshop you will learn to:

• Understand movement and posture as diagnostic information.

We all know instinctively how to look at others and to assess their strengths and weaknesses. In this seminar we will develop these abilities by observing models as a group and then individually.

• Enhance your ‘listening and asking’ diagnostic skills

Learn how to really ‘hear’ what your client is saying and how to respond. Which questions make sense and why. Knowing how to do this will create a stronger healing connection between you and your clients.

• Use stretching and rotations to diagnose as well as treat

Everything we do in our sessions is potentially both treatment and diagnosis. Each technique both affects our client and provides us with information about them, which helps us to decide how to refine our treatment.

• See relationships between structural and energetic imbalances

Meridians manifest themselves in our physical structure and therefore energetic imbalances (Kyo and Jitsu) show up as weakness, contraction, range of motion issues, and injuries. We will experiment with how to use this understanding to enhance our treatments.

 

• Address specific structural injuries

Once we know what the ‘problem’ is what do we do? We will focus on different areas: neck and upper back, shoulder and arms, lower back, hips and legs, etc. using real examples chosen from our class.
