Healing-Shiatsu Touch: Post - Graduate Courses

 

soniaThe natural tendency of the body - mind is to move towards the wholesome. It wants to grow, to evolve. This deep inner drive bring forth creativity and healing in a spontaneous and effortless way.
How can touch contact this inner potential and support it without controlling or looking for results?

In this course Sonia will share her new work that goes directly to the healing potential of the partner through holding techniques and witnessing, allowing the state of dis-ease in the body-mind to be released in its own time.

 

The Post-Graduate course is aimed at students who wish to explore :
- a quality of presence that supports a non-doing type of touch
- how mind-attention penetrates deeper and more subtly than touch-pressure
- body and mind exercises to be totally present
- central channel work, accessing the healing potential
- tracking the shifts in the body-mind through the use of simple mindfulness
- trusting that less is more, empowering of our partner - using breath as diagnostic tool.

Reflection on the healing potential of awareness
by Lara Cusdin, NZ, Feb.’06

Tenderness meets Liberation

“It is truly a gift to be fully present for another human being”

What is it to be present, for ourselves, for another?
After a 2 day workshop with Sonia Moriceau an accomplished shiatsu and meditation practitioner/teacher, I was truly inspired.
Inspired by the truth, by the true nature of mind which is what Sonia uniquely brings to shiatsu. Forget the techniques, meridian diagnosis and pressure points.. oh they are there but as a shadow to the real healing.
And what is the real healing you ask... what is the only true healing for any imbalance of mind/body/soul ... AWARENESS AWARENESS AWARENESS

It is beyond words, but if I could describe the experience I had when Sonia laid her hands on my body, it was her intention of mind, the pure awareness of mind and direction of Ki that penetrated through my body and out to the other side (of the universe). I was beyond my own pain and for a brief moment could see the appendage of what we call this bag of flesh and bones, it was like cutting through butter. It was as if she were a torch (mind) and shone into the cave (body) and exposed the cells of my being where healing needed to take place, and through her as light bearer I was able to bring my awareness to that cave and through breath cleared away the cob webs and literally breathed life into it once more. Her Ki became my Ki became universal Ki and joined together in a dance to awaken the mind/body/spirit which desires recognition for healing to take place.
So simple, so tender, so deeply profound.
I was touched by greatness.

We must learn to be fully present for ourselves so we can be fully present for another and for the universe, everyday.

I am reminded of another profound quote: “can you awaken to the miracles already present” by Namgyal Rinpoche.
