Shiatsu Emocional: New conscience in Bodywork
Connecting tradition and innovation, Shiatsu for Emotions brings a few new techniques developed throughout years of study and practice, without missing at any moment the essence of oriental wisdom that dictates Shiatsu and gives it a sacred attribute. Nonetheless, its context is not only for therapists; anyone with no experience and initial knowledge has the possibility of enjoying many of its features. These practices will be useful daily and can be learnt and experienced through courses and therapeutic courses and sessions. Nowadays, Shiatsu is one of the eastern techniques with the largest success in Brazil. So far it has been most of all used to treat problems related to pain, bad posture, back problems etc., however Shiatsu has many other uses having several techniques around the world. Shiatsu for Emotions is more of a work philosophy than a technique itself. Shiatsu for Emotions was developed starting from Shiatsu’s knowledge and psychotherapy techniques assimilation. It’s objective is to harmonize human emotions, bringing balance and welfare to its practicioners. It’s a practice capable of benefiting not only the client but the therapist himself. It’s an approach that rescues the essence of the oriental tradition, at the same time that develops the sensibility of a better body reading, associating modern concepts of reiki and inter-relational to the ancient practices and theories from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The term Shiatsu for Emotions (translated from Shiatsu Emocional portuguese term) was used for the first time by Arnaldo V. Carvalho, who started in 2004 with an namesake's course and published Shiatsu for Emotions three years later. Subsequently, and without having any acquaintance of the Brazilian work, the idea of a Shiatsu for Emotions also appeared for Emilio Estivil, a Spanish Shiatsu teacher and TCM in Barcelona. Their approaches are distinctive and equally original. By the way both teachers keep in touch and have started a good exchange of ideas. Importance of the existence of Shiatsu for Emotions In the world of verbal communication Shiatsu appear as a concrete way of emotion interpellation through the body. The verbalized mind which we build when we begin with this language control is created to adapt the man to a system of sociability. Thus, the verb appears to give survival, or in a last analysis, protect the human being from isolation and death. Since it has this distinguishing mark, the verbal thought is over all defensive and often it is not possible to reach certain intimate understandings about why we have certain negative emotions which set us back and block us to follow towards happiness. It is then that Shiatsu appears, with an entire non verbal language, bringing up unconscious contents, breacking the verbal processes mind had created as a shield to protect us from our sufferings, and giving the chance of a new inner structure, in harmony beetween body and mind. This is the focus given from Shiatsu for Emotions. A method of usual Shiatsu, similar to many others. But concerned, until the end, with what’s sacred in us and that it’s possible to rescue through a deep understanding of this ancient practice. Shiatsu for Emotions can be used as a knowledge extension of professional who already work with Shiatsu. It might be the better way as its basis is the usual Shiatsu with a humanist vision. I separate the Shiatsu schools given in the world in two big groups: the technical school, more common in Brazil, is mostly influenced by “modern acupuncture”. It´s almost like acupuncture using the fingers. The practitioner learns the disharmony model, work based on syndromes, pulse and tongue diagnosis and doesn’t give much emphasis on to body language or emotional treatment. Throughout the world, we have the influence of the Namikoshi Shiatsu System, the most respected in Japan, which literally rejects most of Traditional Chinese Medicine theories and also treats points as nerves, muscles, etc. The other group which is more humanist, is the one Shiatsu for Emotions is more influence by. It´s influenced by Mazunaga´s Line of Thought, creator of Zen Shiatsu and of other several other humanists’ types such as Ohashiatsu, Tao Shiatsu and others. Shiatsu for Emotions has as part of its own individuality the inclusion of Reichian principles (which originated most of the body approach psychotherapies and even several theories used by psychotherapy), the use of essential oils (not used in ordinary Shiatsu) and a warmer approach. Arnaldo V. Carvalho, body therapist and naturopath, works mainly with eastern techiniques, reichian therapy and essencial Oils. He renders courses throughout Brazil specially about Essential oil Therapy and Shiatsu for Emotions, technique created based on a study compared to Shiatsu Humanist Lines (Ohashiatsu, Zen Shiatsu among others) and reference work of Wilhelm Reich. The technique Shiatsu for Emotions is a journey through senses, which brings meanings to energetic theories. It teaches different mechanisms of diagnosis, and relies on different approaches of Shiatsu such as Tantsu, Ohashiatsu and Zen Shiatsu, as well as psychosomatic massages inspired by Reich. It offers a revision of therapeutic performances and the relationship between the therapist and the client. The course An original program, the essence of Oriental wisdom is experienced by a selected group of people who wish to enhance their emotional stability, rethink their lives, find peace and inner balance and influence positively all around you. Not much is done but greater return is achieved to all participants. Book and certificate of participation is included. No pre-requisites needed.

Its is recommended to all professionals that use TCM, Shiatsu, Psychologists as well as other health professionals who wish to see beyond the physical horizon who wish to work using the emotional field; to the psychologists that want to use a corporal approach and body therapists who wish to have the body not as the end but as means to balance the being. It´s also for the ones who wants to gain knowledge and consequently quality of life. The technique studies balance and unbalance emotional mechanisms – through TCM.
