A Beginners Guide to Okinawan Bodywork Dynamics - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Paul Jefferies, alternative healer and martial arts master, shares his knowledge of Okinawan Bodywork Dynamics, a form of Shiatsu that he has evolved over the past 20 years. Paul's past clients include a long list of high profile Premiership and England footballers, as well as sufferers of a wide array of physical conditions. Using healing techniques based on Japanese practices that are thousands of years old, Okinawan Bodywork Dynamics (OBWD) is a therapy based on touch. The underlying philosophy is that energy (Chi) flows around the body through meridians or channels. If these become blocked it can cause an imbalance and ill health. By stimulating various acupressure points, tensions are released and the body and mind are harmonised, allowing the energy to flow, therefore encouraging physical and emotional wellbeing. The 160-page book contains detailed advice on how to incorporate the principles of Okinawan Bodywork Dynamics into your lifestyle, with in depth tips on diet, breathing and relaxation techniques, creating a stress-free environment in the home, as well as meditation and visualisation. Basic exercises that can help promote the flow of Chi through the body are described with accompanying pictures. The book is aimed at anyone interested in exploring this type of therapy, but for would-be practitioners there is description on how to give the treatment and how to diagnose what pain in a certain body part signifies.
