My journey to Shiatsu:
My journey to Shiatsu began as an inner search.
I have always felt that the body holds a secret language, composed of tensions, emotions, and memories that simply ask to be heard.
Shiatsu came to me as a revelation: an art capable of combining touch with deep listening, providing support and transformation.
My training has given me technique and discipline, but it is my sensitivity that has shaped my way of practicing it. Each person I meet brings a precious story, and I choose to receive it with respect, kindness, and presence.
Today, Shiatsu is a vocation for me. A gift I cultivate with gratitude, because it allows me to accompany those who wish to rediscover harmony, balance, and connection with themselves.

September and the Transition to Yin:
September is a bridge: it accompanies us from the full Yang of summer, made of light, warmth, and expansion, to the return of Yin, which brings contemplation, inwardness, and silence.
This transition is not always easy. We may feel:
– a little melancholic, as if something is escaping us;
– disoriented, because the body needs a change of pace;
– more tired, wanting to slow down and rest.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, during this period, the Earth Element (Spleen and Stomach Meridians) has the function of transporting us: it helps us transform what we have experienced into nourishment, organize ourselves, and connect with the earth.
Immediately after, in autumn, the Lung Meridian, belonging to Yin, enters the scene and teaches us to let go with breath and confidence, like falling leaves.
The Yin meridians most involved at this time:
• Spleen → invites us to nourish our body and emotions gently, without overwhelming ourselves;
• Lung → helps us breathe better and get rid of the unnecessary;
• Kidney (later, with the arrival of winter) → reminds us to conserve energy and rest for the cold season.
Its message is clear:
“Don’t fear change, embrace it, slow down; make room for the new that will arrive.”
In this transition, Shiatsu becomes a hug that accompanies the body and heart to restore balance between what fades and what is reborn.

Gasshō: Hands on the Heart
When the right hand meets the left, a silence is born that encompasses everything.
The right hand is action, doing, the world calling you.
The left hand is listening, feeling, the world breathing within you.
When they join before the heart, there is no longer separation: there is unity.
This gesture, known for millennia, has traveled from ancient India to Zen Japan, where it was called Gasshō: “meeting of hands.”
It was the way monks gave thanks, acknowledged the other, and entered into presence.
In Shiatsu, Gasshō opens and closes the treatment.
It is not just a ritual: it is an invitation to pause, to find balance, to remember that all contact comes from the heart.
Joining hands is uniting opposites.
It is reconciling with oneself. It is saying to the world, without words:
“I see you. I see myself. We are One.”

The “Temple of Heaven”:
Near the shoulder blade, there is a point that holds a valuable lesson: not everything that enters us truly belongs to us. Separating the pure from the impure is a fundamental gesture, not only for the body, but also for the mind and emotions.
It is called Tian Zong – SI 11, the “Temple of Heaven.”
It belongs to the Small Intestine meridian, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine has the function of selecting, filtering, and harmonizing.
-Physical: It distinguishes what nourishes from what needs to be eliminated, maintaining balance in the shoulders, shoulder blades, and upper back. Persistent tension in this area indicates that the body is holding on to what no longer belongs to it.
-Emotional: It acts as an internal filter, retaining experiences and emotions that help us grow and releasing what oppresses the heart and mind. -Energetic: Promotes the proper flow of Qi (Vital Energy) along the Small Intestine meridian, supporting mental clarity, discernment, and the ability to manage relationships and experiences with ease.
When this process is blocked, the body communicates with pain or stiffness in the shoulder and scapula: it’s a clear message that we’re holding onto emotions, memories, or tensions that no longer serve us.
Stimulating and treating Tian Zong (SI 11) not only releases stiffness and pain, but also teaches us to create inner space, to harmonize mind, body, and heart.
It’s a simple yet profound gesture: protecting what truly nourishes us and allowing what weighs us down to dissolve. #Shiatsu #ChineseMedicine #TianZong #SmallIntestine #Energy #EmotionalWellness #BodyMind #Release #Release #SelfCare #Awareness #Balance
