The 4 seasons of diagnosis
The 4 forms of diagnosis: boshin, bunshin, monshin and setsushin are a mainstay of our practice. When I was at Yoseido shiatsu academy, I often heard Kawada sensei discuss many themes that made up the thought of Japan and the spirit of our practice: Buddhism, Zen, a...
At the roots of shiatsu
For some time now, I have noticed a certain dichotomy sometimes going as far as splitting concerning the practice of shiatsu and its breeding ground. These exchanges inflame futile ideological debates but the questioning remains a rich teaching exercise.The root of...
Neither empty nor full. An approach to kyo-jitsu
When I was a student beside Kawada Sensei, we regularly talked about the Zen that I practice. One day, Kawada Sensei gave me an Hanna Shingyo, the heart sutra, calligraphed in Japan by a monk. This text, much appreciated by the Japanese, is a sort of summary of the...
Marvelous vessels and meridians – space and time
In the previous article, I told about the meeting of an ovum and a spermatozoon, the cellular engendering and the development of the energy circuits appearing in the first hours following creation. In this article, I will try to take you to the way in which...
Extraordinary meridians: from the Big Bang to the unity

Jing, Qi, Shen, winners for life

The 3 treasures are only one!
Dans un article précédent, je séparais ces 3 entités, Sei (Jing en chinois), ki (Qi) et Shin (Shen), nommés les 3 trésors dans la littérature, pour expliciter lors différents rôles. J'utiliserai les mots japonais Sei, Ki et Shin au lieu des mots chinois, jing, qi et...
Beyond human
These last years have carried the cries of men. Those who claim growth, those who demand rights. Claims of cultures, colors, gender. Are there boundaries between self and “others”? Whether they are human or not... Listening and looking around, nature also cries out...
Devil or demon points?
Some time ago, a student of Kawada sensei asked me to explain his approach to tsubo which he calls "devil's points". It took me back years, a nice invitation to revisit my past lessons.To better understand our practice of shiatsu, we must also immerse ourselves in the...
Marvelous Vessels and fractal nature
These last days, I was reviewing videos of Nassim Haramein and Bruce Lipton. The first one talking about unified sciences, the second about cell biology and how an environment influences the cell. Everyone, in their own way, used words that were already spoken a long...
