| Topic: Tsubo Shiatsu |
| Participants: Yusuke, Akiko, Tomomi, Lin, Kaz, Nakako, Yasu, Hikari, Keita, Kana and Masako |
| Tsubo
means acupressure point. I introduced brief indication and location of
Tsubo of major points. At first, I introduced 12 meridians system, then Sun (Cun) measurement to understand of locating description. In second, I demonstrated each Tsubo location in the body and introduced some indications. In third, I showed how to count the spinal vertebrae on the back. It is sometimes difficult since all clients are different. Then, I introduced back-shu points on the back which correspond to 12 internal organs and useful to diagnose imbalance of organs. Shiatsu treatment is more often based on Western Anatomy and Physiology. However, knowing Tsubo is very useful to some conditions, such as acute back pain or internal organs problem. Tsubo is the Asian old wisdom which over 4000 years' time. There is no other way without taking advantage of this. This is just introduction of Tsubo Shiatsu; however there are many books about Tsubo / Acupressure out there. I hope that this helps to start self-study of Tsubo. (Masako)

| Topic: Table Shiatsu - how
to treat Shiatsu on massage table |
| Participants: Yoko, Kana, Yusuke, Taro, Mari, Akiko, Aimi, Tomomi, Lin and Keita |
| I talked
about 4 points which were "table’s check point", "Shiatsu
Therapist", "Clients", and "demonstrate
how to do Shiatsu on neck and shoulders with step". I talked about my experiences, and from those 4 points on above, I believe clients’ safety is first priority. From demonstration, I shared the story about how to do Shiatsu on neck and around shoulders with step; therefore, Shiatsu Professionals know how to use body weight with step. Because of this Jikiden-kai, my motivation got higher than before. Also, I felt that I will do my best Shiatsu to all clients all the time. (Keita)

from Shiatsu and we also considered how we could make use of this
knowledge. During the second half we learned how to adjust the pelvic bones using only Shiatsu and I shared my thoughts about Shiatsu for a patient lying in the lateral position. I reconfirmed to myself the importance of Shiatsu in the anterior cervical region and abdominal region and expanding my knowledge makes my Shiatsu more interesting. (Taro)

as pattern is very important to figure out the clients' habit. In the
beginning, we discussed why the human body becomes crooked and twisted
from the centre line of the body. Then we talked about what kind of
habit of the body will be made from the pattern of daily actions.

| I have learned what "treatment"
exactly. How to figure out the cause of pain from posture, apply gentle
pressure, such as by changing position and using well four fingers. I
felt Mr. Asada's strong attempt to raise the level of all shiatsu
therapists. He supports Shiatsu technology by anatomically and all
Shiatsu therapists can understand by it. I want to make an effort more to build my Shiatsu knowledge. I would like to Mr. Asada to come to Jikidenkai again. (Yusuke)
