Self-Shiatsu
Remember to relax your fingers. Relax you breath. And release your
shoulders from your ears. Often people will tense up the fingers,
thinking it needs to be firm to do any real work. The softer the
pressure the more you will realize that you will be penetrating
deeper into your body. The advantage of learning self-shiatsu is
that it can be done anywhere and at anytime. You are your own
healer. Remember this.
Body Tapping
Body Tapping is a quick and easy basic meridian exercise. Tapping
along a pattern on your body will help stimulate the meridians. The
tapping helps with circulation, open blockages and releases
stagnation. Cells are strengthened through the tapping. Tap gently
and comfortable to achieve the best results.
Makko Ho Stretches
Masunaga developed a series of stretches that allowed one to become
more aware of the meridian system. These stretches are called Makko
Ho stretches. The focus is not to push but to relax into the
positions. We are all flexible at our own level. When you get into
the position, feel where your body is tensing, and release it. Allow
yourself to enjoy the position. What do you feel?
