About
Ashiatsu Philosophy
Ashiatsu
presumes that the natural
tendency of all organisms is towards health and optimal functioning for
the purpose of evolution. Therefore, the mind/body/spirit need
only be reminded of its original essence and intention in order to be
re-connected to the intrinsic
foundation of wellness out of which one manifests their being's
purpose.
Where there is discord between the mind, body, and spirit, Ashiatsu
seeks
to bring integration and harmony. In Ashiatsu, the practitioner
employs
the whole body (including the feet) to promote “wholism” in another
person. As Shizuko Yamamoto is fond of saying about the work,
"Wholism creates wholism."
