The Curriculum: Ancient Roots, Modern Integration
-
The Traditional Japanese Bodywork Foundations: Master the 30 traditional Ampuku (Abdominal Acupressure) techniques as originally documented in the seminal texts Anma Tebiki (1800) and Ampuku Zukai (1827).
-
The Integrative Bridge: Discover how Ampuku forms the structural bedrock of Shinzui, serving as the master key that unifies Visceral Osteopathy, Chi Nei Tsang, Shiatsu, and Zhang Fu Tuina.
-
The Diagnostic Compass: Learn to read the underlying root causes of physical distress using the energetic maps of East Asian Medicine.
-
The Central Map: Explore the Bagua—the alignment of the eight forces and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels—to decipher complex diagnostic patterns using the Yijing, the Book of Changes.
-
Internal Cultivation: Learn specific Qi Gong and meditation techniques informed by the Bagua, forming an essential foundation for the Shinzui practitioner's own presence and touch.
