JustShiatsu Podcast

In this episode I share my views on how the combined functions of the channels can be described as providing a correct timing to the body. 

In this episode I explore how we can look at how someone is moving in relation to the world around them. It is through understanding the principles of yin and yang that we can determine what is proper timing. When this timing gets disrupted we can then make adjustments to the spaces that determine the proper movements in the body. This in turn can reset the body back to its proper timing and resto...

I explore some thoughts and ideas I have run across through my self exploration of breathwork. I think there might be a lot of unexplored potential in the breath that can help us feel better about life. I share some of the experience I have observed in myself and others and how these reflect a better state of being. 

I often think that talking about qi movement can sound so esoteric and hard to understand.  I think Aikido has a good representation in a physical form of how healing movements can be expressed.  So, I explore the physical movements of aikido as an expression of what is happening within someone and how those movements allow healing to happen. 

As I work and it evolves so to do some of my thoughts and ideas on aspects of my work. I wanted to share a more heart felt approach to what Shiatsu is to me and how I work with it to help others.  for more info visit my website: justshiatsu.com

I explore ways that meditation can benefit us and then explore how shiatsu can also have or enhance those benefits. 

In this episode I talk about a specific way to view the physiology of the body that may differ from some models you may be familiar with.  I also explore some ideas and thoughts on the difference between needles and touch.  visit my website justshiatsu.com contact me at justzelinski@gmail.com

In this episode I start to explore some of my personal interpretations of how movement is reflecting in the body when I start to combine some theory with my personal experiences together. 

I wanted to share a small simple explanation of why you might choose to get a shiatsu treatment without all of the technical jargon that can turn people off. 

I continue with the theme of looking at the specific style of Zen Shiatsu. I try and give a comparison of some of the classical ideas and Masunaga's descriptions of how the organs are providing function in the body from the Chinese Medicine stand point. 

I continue my look into Shizuto Masunaga's written works. I look at the healing process and the roles of practitioner and client with regards to healing and many other facets of the work. 

In this episode I exclusively look at the books written by the founder of this style of Shiatsu, Shizuto Masunaga. I then try to share my understandings and experiences on what he may have been trying to share with us. 

In this episode I am exploring ideas on the shen. 

In this episode I talk about my interpretive perspective of what anxiety might look like in Chinese Medicine and how that might differ from a western perspective. I also talk about my personal experience with anxiety. If you are someone who is suffering from anxiety this episode will let you know you are not alone in this even if it feels that way. If you dont suffer from anxiety but know someone...

In this Episode I talk about my interpretation of how I see the emotions explained in Chinese Medicine. This again is another aspect where Chinese Medicine shines bright. Having specific motions associated with specific emotional states allow them to be recognized and balanced. It is important to see how these emotion states in some ways line up with our ideas of them and in someways might not. Un...

In this episode I discuss ideas on transformation of Essence, Qi, and Form. I talk about inner fire and health and the ideas on disease entry into the body. I talk about the different aspects of what makes a great healer from a lower level healer. I also go over my opinion on why I think touch is the most functional tool for healing. 

In this episode I talk about what is considered the foundational idea in all of Chinese Medicine. All internal movements in the body can be broken down to five distinct motions that when properly balanced are the essence of what life is. Just as life is very complex and hard to fully understand the five elements are a bit poetic and understood best by looking at all the things attributed to being...

In this episode we talk about chapter 4 of the neijing. This chapter explores how yin and yang are always present in whatever perspective we take. It is a good introduction to how Chinese Medicine often changes perspectives to understand something in a different way. It is always the perspective we take that helps define what is happening, but we must not forget how it also fits within the greater...

In this episode I talk about the important aspects of yang and why it takes a leading role in health and treatment. Yang and chi (qi or ki, if you prefer) are the same and by understanding this we are better able to understand ourselves. I also explore what is an example of living in a healthy state by following the daily rhythms of life. We talk about how disease is allowed to manifest in the bod...

In This episode, we explore chapter 2 of the Neijing Suwen. I go into a lot of detail of what my impressions of the four seasons are and how they should be expressed. I also briefly go into some ideas on yin and yang. Lastly, I go over how all this seeming odd information about living in the four seasons can be used to help treat our loved ones with touch.

in this episode I explore more the ways of how I explore the meanings of things in the Neijing and then we get to the heart of the first chapter of what it means to be healthy according to the wisdom of the Neijing. Lastly, I explore what this means to me and how it influences the way I apply this in my treatments. 

In this episode I give a brief explanation of how I use this art form to promote healing and the ways I see it influencing the body. 

In this episode I explore my reasons for returning to the this original text that dates over 2000 years old to explore some of the questions surrounding how this medicine works.
