While studying and practicing shiatsu, many of us become aware of a deeper sense of connectedness — to one another, to our own self and purpose, and even beyond . . . to Spirit. The connection to that Source is what makes healing so engaging and enchanting. It bears refining, deepening and upgrading on a regular basis.
To that end, I want to invite you to a one-time-only, one-of-a-kind master course and professional training. It is designed to extend your acquired knowledge and shiatsu skills beyond the standard understanding. We will delve deeply into the revolutionary concepts of Dr. Shizuto Masunaga that set Zen Shiatsu apart from classical Asian medicine. We will infuse the shamanic practices that I have learned from extraordinary healers of four indigenous cultures. These practices develop the extrasensory perception you want (and need) for heightening your connection to “the beyond.”
In this 90-hour training, we will bring ancient Asian and indigenous healing arts into modern times. We will interpret centuries-old knowledge and wisdom with the understanding of quantum principles. We will look past the the limits of space and time to the non-dimensional field of infinite possibility. Dr. Shizuto Masunaga’s insights and innovations unveil and light up the sensitivity of the hand. The underlying belief is that there will never be any machine or device created that can surpass the astounding sensitivity of the hand.
Shiatsu specialists have a unique requirement as bodyworkers: they have to influence energy and tissue. This involves a refined skillset and advanced understanding of the energy that gives life to the body. Throughout the classes in this master course, you will learn essential elements for magnifying that skill set. You will develop a sensitivity in your hands (!) that touches the fundamental essence of health and healing.
The initial portion of this training fleshes out and clarifies Dr. Masunaga’s pioneering work. You will learn his vital foundational concepts and predominant qualities of each meridian. This includes:
The technique portion complies with the natural laws that govern the realm of our 3-dimensional world. They come from experts of various healing disciplines that deal with the physical body. I understudied with Japanese bone-setters, American chiropractors and European osteopaths. Knowing how the body moves in and out of alignment is essential for respecting natural human movement. Facilitating natural movement is a foundational key to Zen Shiatsu technique. [Learning chiropractic and osteopathic manipulations is not part of the course.]
But the biggest influence on my work has come from individuals who remained true to the natural laws of non-dimensionality. They do the personal work required to develop and embody this truth within themselves…and never stop. They are: Akinobu Shinmei Kishi (Japanese Shinto priest); Grandmother River Reasoner (Cherokee priest); Master Gregory Antyuhin (Russian psychic healer); and el (quantum soul retrieval). These people gave me practices for connecting with both the energy of nature from our earthly plane, and the energy of guides and helpers from our heavenly plane. They taught me how to use this connection to engage and catalyze the energy of healing — for myself, and for my friends, family and clients. And they endorsed my teaching them to others.
The techniques presented in this course represent a synthesis of training I began in 1975. I learned from four ancient cultures on three continents over a period of 30 years. I have been practicing these teachings, contemplating them, and making them my own for the past 48 years! Until now, I have been teaching them as separate classes that concentrate mostly on technique. But my Guidance tells me it’s time to express the true body of the work and bring it out in its fullness. It’s time for me to teach it from the perspective of developing the healer within.
And, of course, I hope you will join me. These magnificent gifts and teachings have been given to me with a mandate to hand them down. I so want to share them with those of you who long to bring out your own inner healer. This course is for you if you have been waiting or yearning to:
The first five weeks will illuminate the teachings of Dr. Shizuto Masunaga in a linear sequence of learning. Much emphasis has been given to his Hara diagnostic areas and extended meridian system. Recognizing that, we will take a little time to:
However, his conceptual work is even more relevant to a Zen Shiatsu treatment, so the core of these first five weeks will accentuate:

The remainder of the course is better suited to a spiral progression that repeats concepts over and over again, . This is how our brain adds layers of depth and subtlety. The spiral pattern allows you to more profoundly internalize the meaning and feeling of healing into your heart, mind and soul . . . all your sensitivities.
The subject for each week may, or may not, appear in the order listed below. But don’t think that means that there is no plan (I have been meditating on this for a very long time)! It just means that when and how the prepared material is presented may spontaneously change according to my guidance, regardless of my scrupulous and conscientious planning. Specific topics will explore qualities and skills that explain and/or invoke healing, such as:
Each class will incorporate a diverse form of meditation to up level your extrasensory awareness. Potential explorations and contemplations include: movement; sitting; guided visualization; journeying; sound; healing circles; etc.
