The Art of Conscious Touch for the Harmony of Body and Mind
Shiatsu Xin is a Japanese therapeutic massage practice that combines the tradition of shiatsu with a modern and integrated approach, focused on deep listening and vital energy. “Xin” in Chinese means “heart” or “mind,” emphasizing the importance of a touch that is not only physical, but also emotional and mindful.
What is Shiatsu Xin?
Through pressure, stretching, and manipulations performed with the fingers, palms, and elbows, Shiatsu Xin works on the body’s energy meridians to promote the harmonious flow of vital energy (Ki or Qi). The goal is to release blockages, stimulate self-healing, and restore balance between body, mind, and spirit.
