In this lesson, Ohashi shows you how to: * Perform touch and movement techniques on subjects who are sitting up and lying down on a bed or massage table. * Focus your touch on points in the neck, shoulders, head, arms, and feet that promote whole-body relaxation. * Relieve your subjects’ annoying or chronic pains and headaches that hinder deep relaxation. * Work from your Hara (body) to conserve your energy while enhancing the energy flow from you to your subject.Shizuto Masunaga and Wataru Ohashi, where the first to implement Zen Shiatsu , and The Shiatsu Education Center of AmericaThere is a book about this: If you want to look at how  Zen Shiatzu works here are two videos:http://youtu.be/FzEPjAK71Dc  one of Ohashi student, this has a lovely demostration of the care of the patient  and soothing musichttp://youtu.be/7UWa4VPy-zM  Shizuto Masunaga demonstrationZen Shiatzu   is a techniques that comes from Japan   , and that use the body of the practitioner , the core energy of the body (Hara- the Center of Gravity of the Body)  so there is no need to use force and physical strenght to induce the myofascial movements without any strains that can help recover a person from injuries and dammages… Maybe this Japanese aproach to massage may seem odd to those who never saw it before,  but they are very  known and respect where I work, since people who are in hospital can´t have any hard type of massage and Shiatzu has prove to be exactly what the people need to prevent the damages of tissues and the atrophy of muscles. Tissues are acomodated and lifted naturalyThe basic approach of oriental medicine is to emphasize natural powers of self-cure and to evolve a therapy that is entirely in harmony with the entire organism of the patient. Shiatsu Zen is one of the oriental medical disciplines that have made great progress in such therapy. The common conception that shiatsu is no more than the application of strong digital pressure on single points on the body misrepresents the truth. Shiatsu is based on a full oriental medical system, which explains the human body in terms of a network of meridians through which flows an energy called Ki in Japanese.Here is an Interview avec Barbara Aubry  http://youtu.be/HF5MsP4Ufl0, sorry this interview is in FRENCH is the best I could find to explain Ohashi techniques..enjoy
