Zen Shiatsu is a traditional healing art that seeks to promote and maintain balance and wellness by encouraging the unimpeded flow of vital life energy (qi) throughout the body. The Zen Shiatsu form makes use of relaxed body weight (hands, thumbs, elbows, feet) and simple natural movements, practiced on a clothed "recipient." The work is done on mats on the floor. Zen Shiatsu is the most non-diagnostic (nonjudgmental) and non-invasive (gentle yet firm) style of Shiatsu and focuses on the internal cultivation of the practitioner.
