What the Amatsu treatment involves:During your first session (Balance) a detailed personal history is taken to give the practitioner a clear idea of the problem. Using a combination of observation, muscle testing, and palpation (touch) further information on the current state of the body is gathered before applying a combination of techniques to suit the clients needs. It is not unusual to feel different straight away, although some people feel the changes over the first few days following treatment. Some people may feel tired; others get a boost of energy. The body is simply adjusting to the changes. It is always recommended to drink plenty of water following treatment to keep the body hydrated. The Godai and General Principles of Health: Professor Hatsumi teaches that in accordance to the Godai, health can only exist when there is a balance between our Physical (Musculo-Skeletal System), Emotional (Mind), Nutritional intake and excretion (Food), Energy (Ki/Qi Life force) and our interaction within our environment In Amatsu medicine we believe it is important to balance the Godai of the person,
rather than the condition, which is a result of an imbalance in a persons Godai. Amatsu recognises that there are a number of indicators
which occur naturally and which give tell-tale signs that the Godai are
out of balance. Some of these, such as pain, serve as signs that something
is wrong within our bodies. Pain is a signal within our central nervous
system that tells us that something has gone wrong. Prior to the sensation
of pain we normally experience loss of normal function. The pain signal
can be referred to almost anywhere, for example, organ dysfunction can
be referred to the muscles and joints of the body - heart to chest and
left arm; gall bladder to left shoulder; liver to neck, eyes and upper
back etc. Treating pain with painkillers and an anti-inflammatory agent does not always correct the causative factors and often overloads the liver, which in modern man is already overworked dealing with environmental factors such as pollution, TV, computers etc. All pain should be investigated to ascertain its
true nature and exclude pathological causes first. Once these are ruled
out a good diet, musculo-skeletal correction, energy (meridian) balancing,
relaxation training and gentle exercise can help to maintain balance and
alleviate painful conditions. |
