Living in Resonance
Sei-Ki: The Way of Touch
A Way is a discipline through which the practitioner is committed to seeing things as they truly are. The traditional Japanese Ways include: the Way of Martial Arts, Budo; the Way of Tea, Chado; the way of calligraphy, Shodo and others. Sei-ki: the Way of Touch, is not a recognised art but embodies the principles of a traditional Way and its founder, Kishi Akinobu, understood it in this context.
“One’s life is conducted by one’s spirit…a treatment has to move the spirit to restore wellbeing…In creating a quiet space through a quiet mind and body, illumination comes…The spirit moves because the environment of the space encourages it to be moved….Well-rooted presence and virtue of the practitioner are key to this environment. Close windows and shut doors to create a space that is calm and quiet enough for concentration, so you can promote a relationship of unity between your spirit and the patient.”
–Ling Shu (1,8,9) and Su Wen (27)
