Your journey to becoming a HeartMind Shiatsu professional begins here. Classmates travel together on a voyage of discovery through body, mind and spirit, developing skillful means in healing touch. They learn to perceive and work with Meridian Channels of Life Energy, and find a delightful entry into the magic of connection with self and others. A timeless healing craft that has been handed down for generations, HeartMind Shiatsu Meridian Magic brings healing skills into your hands in a gentle, caring environment designed to bring out the healer within you. With completion of Meridian Magic you will have the skill to give a full-body basic Shiatsu treatment to friends, family or to integrate into an existing professional practice, and set the foundation for deepening your study with the continuation of the HeartMind Shiatsu Basic and Advanced training program. Personal Life Energy Cultivation practice through the HeartMind Meridian Qigong exercise system is incorporated giving students a vital approach to the art of self-care.
Building upon the content of 101 students now learn the Theory of the Five Elements and how they manifest through the organ networks to enliven body/mind/spirit. The traditional correspondences of the Elements are the cornerstone of the course, grounding students in the basic attributes of each of the Five Elements and how they express themselves in Nature and in Humanity. Students begin to discern the signs and symptoms of each of the Elements, and in this way, begin to practice the art of creating treatment plans tailor made to the specific needs of each client. Yoga-inspired Meridian Stretch Exercises are practiced as both a tool of treatment and assessment, and traditional shu point assessment methods will be introduced.
In this level students learn the art of pattern recognition through a study of kyo/jitsu deficiency excess model of Master Masuanga’s Zen Shiatsu system and the use of the Four tools of Assessment: Looking, Asking, Listening/Smelling and Touching. All previously learned material is integrated into flowing sessions led by movement, awareness and pattern recognition with multiple points of contact using thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows and knees. Additional elegant positions and movement combinations are introduced. Much like vinyasa flows in yoga, various sequences of movement and acu-point stimulation are practiced to give students a full range of technical approaches for clinical application. Masunaga’s Front and Back Assessment Areas are studied, and effective assessment palpation practiced. A semi-private tutorial with the Instructor is required between 103 and 104.

Our 2012 Basic Training started this September, and Sunday, 9/9, was graduation day for the first module. After 4 days of deep immersion in “Meridian Magic” our student clinic was a smashing success. Students walked away with not only their certificates but also a deep appreciation of what they learned in just 4 days.
102 in October will take us on a deep dive into “Five Element Flow” – a study of each of the 5 elements recognized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Students will also build on the foundational technique sequence learned in 101 with techniques for approaching every meridian channel from every position (prone, side and supine).
Graduates of 101 (or equivalent) are invited to enroll. The dates for the October training are Thursday – Sunday, 10/4 – 10/7, 9am – 6pm.
