The body often needs to rebalance itself: the more active we are in life, the more we need to slow down, the more passive we are, the more we need adequate movement. For both conditions, the body-mind requires more moments of attention and regulation of our energy. Continued mental activity and the prolonged use of eyes fixed in front of a screen inevitably raise our energy which then often struggles to come down with effects on the quality of thoughts, digestion and night sleep. The lack of movement or excessive physical work creates stagnation, physical and psychological discomfort.
Receiving individual Ohashiatsu treatments means dedicating time to yourself and your health, it means taking a break from everyday life to recharge your batteries, empty your mind and lighten your thoughts. It means recontacting the whole body, relaxing, bringing harmony, peace and quiet within oneself.
In the Ohashiatsu session, after a short informative chat, to focus on any physical pain, understand the emotional state, stress levels and habits, the person receiving is lying on a comfortable futon (cotton mattress) on the floor, completely dressed in comfortable clothes. The operator moves around the body of the recipient through passive gymnastic exercises, stretching and constant pressure on specific points and areas of the body, which influence the energy flow (Qi) in the meridians.
Receiving regular sessions helps you keep your energy in balance and develop a deep awareness of body, mind and spirit, facilitating healing. Constant work with a Consultant (COC) or Qualified Ohashiatsu Instructor (COI) establishes a relationship that encourages progressive reflection and self-knowledge, important ingredients of health and well-being. Receiving Ohashiatsu is not only a good opportunity to relax and carve out some space and time, but it is a touch practice that embraces the individual in his entirety of body, mind and spirit. The work on the energy meridians brings us back to ourselves, to our feelings, making us increasingly come into contact with our closest needs in order to improve our awareness.
A little advice: after a session it is important to drink lots of water and not plan any subsequent frenetic activities. The body continues to work and detoxify hours after treatment.
