I have been exploring the benefits of Observational Touch in my work. I wanted to share some of my experience so far and what I think is happening when we do this. I think this is a very powerful form of touch.
In this episode I explore some ideas around safety and healing. How do we make our clients feel safe? how do we feel safe? how do we touch safely? Plus, other ideas on diagnosis, some of my experience's, and personal choices of style.
I have been exploring others ideas in Shiatsu and find this often leaves me feeling less like myself. I sat down and wrote an article about this to help clarify my authentic self. I though it might be nice to share as we often have common experiences in being human. If you are experiencing this dynamic in your work maybe seeing me do this for myself might inspire the same in you. If you are interested in knowing more about my specific thoughts/experiences with shiatsu I share more those through this self exploration.
In this episode my writing focuses on ideas in diagnosising. It then moves into ideas of treatment. It finishes with going into details of techniques of a physical and metaphysical nature.
I hope this series was helpful to some. For those of you who might not be bodyworkers, I hope this adds clarity to a medicine that at times can be hard to understand. For those of you who are bodyworkers, I hope this adds clarity to the methods you are currently using or gives you new ways to think about working.
As this is the most I have put my self out there in my personal expression of the art. If anyone feels they want to in anyway reach out. Please, I welcome the interaction.

In this episode my writing focuses on exploring the idea of channels deeper. It then moves on to ideas of health and how we get sick. Then, finishes with looking at how the body is designed to combat such disharmonies that enter the body.
in this episode the writing covers why I have decided to write such a document. It then goes on the start to explain my views on concepts in the medicine start with the simple ideas of yin and yang. Moving to the more complex ideas of the seasons. Then ending with giving overviews of the organ functions.
In this episode I give a general overview to the following 3 episodes. This is a series of episodes where I share a document I have been writing over the years and feel it has reached a point where it is a clear expression of my views on the art of Shiatsu. It starts with me explaining the foundations of the medicine and ends with me giving specific details on techniques.
I have spent a lot of time contemplating these "channels" of Chinese medicine. In my studies I have run across contradictions and have found some of my own understandings or musings. In this podcast I am less concerned with answering questions instead I leave you with some things worth thinking about!
What does it mean in body work to add coherence to the system? I share my journey with this concept and give my thoughts on how this can be done.
I explore my ideas on how our elemental expressions can be view as expressions of self and how those can benefit us. I also explore how some new ideas I have around the bodywork of Shiatsu might prove beneficial in this regard!
