Concentrated Spiritual Energy
This is a technique where several practitioners work on one person. When using this technique treatments are generally performed over a shorter period of time than regular treatments due to the intensity of working together with other practitioners.
- Gasshô* — to centre the mind and set intent.
- Each practitioner places both hands on the body of the client.
- The practitioners cover the main parts of the body and any imbalances.
- Gasshô — to give thanks.
* Literally Gasshô means “to place the two palms together”. It has several interpretations at different levels. Initially it was used as a sign of reverence. It also says, “I revere the Buddha nature in you” — a non-judgmental manner of showing respect for all beings.Gasshô also brings opposites together to create balance and harmony in the body.
