Tomas Nelissen, Peter den Dekker, Karin Kalbantner-Wernicke and others who attended my workshops have made them a central part of their Shiatsu systems, even though their systems are very different to Movement Shiatsu and the ‘Three Families’…Read more

The families are groups of Qi Organs which all collaborate in a wider overall function. You can read three articles I wrote which describe the three families. Each family consists of four Qi-functions which are two Yin-Yang pairs in two different elements or equally are one Yin-Yin pair and one Yang-Yang pair which are both one of the Six…Read more

Personally, I would have preferred to have a single focus rather than the multi-focus you gave us. I find that, if there are many ideas, that I leave my body to take them all in.

And I don’t find music…Read more

I find it useful to look at the direction of energy rather than its function.

The direction of Large Intestine Qi is OUTWARD. So it can help push things out that are toxic but it can also push back against outside pressure so that you stand your…Read more

There is not a right-wrong answer – it all depends on what you are doing with the breath.

If you are focusing on PROJECTION of QI (which emphasises the Outer World) then IN-BREATH is used to build up the energy in the body and OUT-BREATH is used to project it outwards. This is what your pictures show. In that case it makes…Read more

I’m sure that other animals are more sensitive to voice and movement than we are consciously. Our powerful minds can take our awareness away from the present so easily.
As for your goldfish movements: reach from the mouth is one of the most fundamental movements, one of the first to emerge after birth and is…Read more

In those cases, the techniques that we are showing can help adjust the skeleto-muscular system to take the pressure off the nerves. This is not a universal answer and I have had mixed success working with the carpal…Read more

It’s mostly on bones and muscles, do you also have explorations on sore nerves? For example with carpal tunnel syndrome? Or so you just go to the bones and muscles then also? Love Tanja
