Bu-Shin-Do - The Way of the Awakened Heart, is a unique version of the traditional form of Shiatsu,
developed by Christina Wellbeloved, after many years of practice and experience, designed to work with your whole body,
mind and spirit.
"Shiatsu is a relaxing, healing and invigorating form of Japanese bodywork. Using the same meridian and pressure points
system as acupuncture, deep, sensitive pressure is applied using the fingers,thumbs and feet. Stretching and rotating
movements are used to help release energy blockages which are reflecting physical, mental, emotional or spiritual disorder,
the latter two, I believe, being the largely unacknowledged but fundamental root of all disease. The body's energetic flow
is thus stimulated and can begin to deal more effectively with further imbalance. Shiatsu experienced regularly is a wonderful
and truly enjoyable form of preventive health care. The ensuing sense of relaxed wellbeing pervades the entire body and soul -
make it a part of your regular health care and the difference will show!"
