The principles of auto shiatsu practice follow the Taoist theory and the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. According to this approach, the body is healthy when the vital energy chi or qi flows freely in the meridians.
Meridians are energy lines that run through the body. Each of them corresponds to a vital organ. When a point in the body is either too full or too empty of energy, the flow of energy is blocked.
As a result, symptoms can appear, such as pain, dysfunction of one or more organs…
The primary origin of the dysfunction can then be linked to one of the dimensions of the individual. Either, a physical, physiological, psycho-emotional, environmental imbalance, etc., or an imbalance of the body.
Massaging these points along the meridians helps to restore energy circulation.
