tioner does not acknowledge the Ki imbalances in his own body then there is the possibility that what is felt is a reflection of their own needs. I have had experience of this as a student when I have not prepared myself properly to treat. In one week I had several clients and in each case the same meridian appeared in my diagnosis. A strange coincidence possibly buIn our everyday lives we move from one situation to another and in each one it is expected that we present ourselves differently. We are constantly changing masks from the one we wear at work to the one we use at at home and that which we use socialising with friends. To do this we have to use our body energy, Ki, in different ways. Often the mask we have to wear is not a reflection of our true selves and the Ki is forced to do present something untruthful.

In a Shiatsu treatment the giver seeks the Ki in the receiver and through diagnosis and treatment tries to correct the imbalances and blockages that develop. Even in the treatment room there is the possibility that the client presents a mask and will only show the energy that they are willing to reveal. As the relationship between the giver and receiver develops over time, so too will the trust that allows the receiver to fully open energetically.

We must remember that in a treatment it is not only the receiver that has to be energetically open. It is important that the giver too is able to acknowledge their own condition. All healers have their own set of masks but Western physicians rely on science and pharmaceuticals to heal and the state of their Ki is not considered important to the healing process. The Shiatsu practitioner must account for their own state of being before starting to treat.

Hara diagnosis and Shiatsu treatment is the meeting of two energy systems.

When a treatment is about to begin, the giver settles themselves and makes themselves aware of their own energy and needs. This may sometimes seem strange to the client receiving Shiatsu for the first time but it is an important ritual. Only then can the giver find the real energy being under their Shiatsu mask and truthfully seek the healing potential in their client.
