Art of Gentle Healing</strong></big></font><p><font face="Verdana" color="#004080" size="2"><strong>What is Shiatsu?</strong></font><font face="Verdana" color="#86BCE8" size="2"> </font><font size="2"><font face="Verdana"><font color="#000000">Shiatsu</font>
is a hands-on therapy to harmonise the flow of energy throughout the entire being: mind,
body and spirit. Running water does not stagnate - the same with your energy. When it
flows, you feel good. When blocked, you might feel ill, or at least uneasy in yourself,
out of sorts.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font color="#004080"><strong>What are the benefits?</strong></font>
Your receiver feels better following a treatment: what more could you want? With
experience you can help relieve symptoms of stress-induced and other common ailments such
as head- neck- or back-ache, insomnia, constipation, menstrual pain and many chronic
conditions resistant to orthodox treatment. What you can expect to be known best for is
generating in your partner a most wonderful sense of well-being. This feeling reflects in
you.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font color="#004080"><strong>Why Zen Shiatsu?</strong></font>
Shiatsu styles range from the mechanical to the mystical. A gentle, non-invasive yet
powerful therapy, Zen Shiatsu emphasises work on the whole being, the importance of
intention and projection of your loving-kindness, development of your sensitivity from the
very beginning, and helping your receiver access their own special self-healing power.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong><font color="#004080">Why choose the Zen School?</font></strong>
We have a friendly attitude and treat you as a unique and individual member of our Shiatsu
family; the study-groups are small, with experienced professional tutors; learning is
based on the ideas of Zen Shiatsu Master<strong> <font color="#004080">Takeo Suzuki</font></strong>
and the Taoist Master <font color="#004080"><strong>Mantak Chia</strong>.</font> </font><ul>
<li><font color="#004080" face="Verdana">You can start when you like. </font></li>
<li><font color="#004080" face="Verdana">There are no hidden extras.</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana">We avoid gimmicks in favour of integrated, in-depth learning and
constant practical application, with help at every step. The Professional Course includes
Taoist meditation practices to enhance your healing power.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font color="#004080"><strong>Career Development</strong></font>:
by the end of your formal training we aim to see you pass the professional assessment with
ease and <font color="#004080">be a happy and confident practitioner</font>, capable of
setting up and running your own practice, making a living by doing what you love. Our
referral service helps you build your practice from an early stage in your training, and
we publicise student and practitioner treatments at the Festivals of Mind-Body-Spirit,
Healing Arts, local exhibitions, corporate and community events.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">We look on you as a friend for life rather than one of many who
pass through and pass on. You remain a member of our Shiatsu family. <font color="#004080"><strong>Welcome
Home</strong>.</font></font></font></p>
