Governing Vessel & the Spine

a 6 day Shin Tai class

Governing Vessel Class

Learn a unique evaluation & technique protocol for Governing Vessel, the primary information system of the body.

Governing Vessel & the Spine

In this 6 day immersion class, delve into a unique system of evaluation and treatment for Governing Vessel, the central energy flow of the body. 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. By working with the spine through a certain perceptual awareness, you will learn new ways to diagnosis and treat that touch the core potential of a person. This work activates the ability to not only heal, but develop and evolve. 

One of the main evaluation tools you will study is motion. Shizuto Masunaga, a prominent shiatsu visionary, said that motion is synonymous with the basic life function. The more motion we can introduce back into the body, the more life force becomes available for engagement in the present.

Bring the body back into present time

The GV & the Spine course employs unique and extremely effective diagnostics that determine patterns of restricted body motion in the spine, shoulder girdle and hip structure. Using a flexible treatment protocol, normal resonance and proper spacial relationships are restored. This greatly increases the flow of life force through the body, improves numerous organic and neuromuscular problems, and gets the physical body, emotions and mind back on-line in real-time.
