Movement Shiatsu and Disability by Bill Palmer
Instead of seeing disability as a problem, Movement Shiatsu views the way in which people use their bodies as their successful ability. Starting from ability gives the client a sense of empowerment and allow them to explore and challenge themselves without being a victim to their condition.

The Sadist on Honeymoon by Bill Palmer
Every therapist may need to help someone go through difficulties, because only by bringing buried pain into consciousness can some traumas be liberated. This means that the therapist needs to be able to hold the client in a process which seesm to be painful, and thus could be seen as the positive side of Sadism. This article describes how this process effects the Qi and how to incorporate these insights into Shiatsu practice.

The Six Divisions by Bill Palmer
The Six Divisions are one of the most ancient descriptions of the linkage between energy, mind and body in Chinese Medicine but there is very little literature on them. Bill Palmer shows how the pairing of meridians which the Six Divisions makes describe deep archetypal connections between the functions of the Chinese Energy Organs and provide a way of seeing posture and personality as being two aspects of the same thing.

Working With Elders by Bill Palmer
This article introduces a method of training for ageing people, which can be started before old age, which develops three Yin capacities: Radiance, Equanimity and Benevolence. These capacities are aspects of the Tai Yin, Shao Yin and Jue Yin energies and do not decline with age. With their development, the ageing person not only is rescued from many of the physical conditions of old age but also grows into a state which is still valued, still useful and still attractive to other people.

Healing the Earth by Maddie Parisio
This article draws a beautiful analogy between natural methods of agriculture and non-interventionalist healing. Parisio"s thesis is that intervention prevents natural process from moving and that the full power of Chinese Medicine is lost when we try to "cure" in this way. She shows how, instead, the techniques of Oriental medicine can be used to nurture and support the process of the disease, which she sees as the organisms natural method of rebalancing itself.
