Diagnosing Governing Vessel:
the missing link in shiatsu
Governing Vessel is the central meridian, or energy flow, in the body. Although it’s considered of primary importance in relation to the other 12 meridians, it’s not included in their array of diagnostic and treatment protocols. Let’s explore a way to work with this incredibly important part of the body’s energy system.
In shin tai, an evolving form of shiatsu developed by Saul Goodman, we delve into a protocol of evaluation and treatment for Governing Vessel. Governing Vessel is the first energy current which develops after conception. It serves to govern the development of the other meridians, chakras, organs and the rest of the body's physiology. The spine itself is the material manifestation of governing vessel energy.
In the following video find out how you can diagnose the flow of governing vessel by evaluating the mobility, alignment, spring and motion in the vertebrae. By bringing even a small amount of awareness to the connection between the spine, governing vessel and motion, your treatments will immediately have a deeper impact on the flow of primary life force through the body, including the other 12 meridians, the nervous system and the chakras.
