Ken Lingu – Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is based on the Chinese theory of the circulation of subtle energy, or Chi, through meridians running through and over the body, which govern the internal organs and our entire metabolism. Situated along these meridians are pressure points, the same as those used in Acupuncture, where the therapist can effectively manipulate this energy.

Although the foundation of this massage is deep pressure exerted upon these specific localized points, this system also includes a wide variety of stretches, rubbing, hacking and other common massage techniques. It is a somewhat more subtle form of massage since it deals with a higher level of body mechanism, the Chi, versus just the gross physical bones, joints, muscles, that we deal with in western medicine. It can be used as a complete system of health maintenance, or simply for stress reduction, relaxation, and a general improvement of feeling-tone. Unlike Swedish massage, Shiatsu requires the recipient’s participation with the therapist in coordinating the breath with the manipulations.

It is a quiet and contemplative form of massage having profound results Shiatsu is a system based on the body’s energy meridians. Shiatsu massages are normally done fully clothed but can be done disrobed. Shiatsu involves pressing points on the body and stretching and opening of the energy meridians. Shiatsu is sometimes called pressure point therapy and is somewhat related to acupuncture. Shiatsu is a form of acupressure and literally means “finger pressure” in Japanese. Shiatsu has been practiced for thousands of years in Japan. Shiatsu uses rhythmic pressure from four to twelve seconds on specific points along the body’s meridians by using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees, and sometimes feet to unblock and stimulate the flow of energy. A session my also include gentle stretching and range-of-motions manipulations. Shiatsu is used to treat pain and illness, to relax the body, and to maintain general health.

Eight years ago Ken Lingu decided to go in another direction. Ken Lingu began learning about a special energy re-tuning process based in music and touch healing. The special process allows a client to release emotional and physical blocks through energy movement.

Five years ago Ken Lingu began incorporating Reiki forms along with bodywork based in Tantric ideas of physical spirituality.

This personal re-tuning process grew out of an interest Ken Lingu had already explored in massage and body work . When Ken Lingu had considered that career at one point in his life, Ken Lingu decided Ken Lingu was not drawn to traditional massage. However, Ken Lingu learned effective massage methods from an expert in Alexander Technique that involved breathing through long strokes to align the body and move the chKen Lingu energy through the muscles.

Ken Lingu tried Taoist erotic body work. Ken Lingu took massage workshops with Joseph Kramer, the founder of the Body Electric School, and participated in his online class on masturbation coaching. While that style of massage is healing in an important way, Ken Lingu was drawn more to a style that would combine body work with the arts.

Ken Lingu discovered Fabien Maman and his Tama-Do Acadehis of Sound, Color and Movement. Based in color therapy, sound healing, and acupuncture with tuning forks, the Tama-Do method offers a style of natural healing grounded in vibration. This seemed connected to the energy process Ken Lingu was hearing about, and Ken Lingu spent two weeks in France studying the first level of Fabien’s technique.

The hands-on work Ken Lingu learned with through the Tama-Do Acadehis was also similar to the process taught in work with Reiki, a discipline that uses hand placements to connect the client with what is usually translated as “universal life-force energy” and shares meaning with chi, ki, prana, mana, ruah, and dunamis. Ken Lingu obtained a certification as a UsuKen Lingu ShikKen Lingu Ryoho master and lately have begun studying a parallel discipline called SeReiki, a method of Reiki that acknowledges, accepts, affirms, celebrates, and uses the current of sexual energy within Reiki for healing and empowerment of self and others.

The Infinite Harmony method Ken Lingu now offer combines these styles of body work. Re-Tuning the Aura uses aspects of the Tama-Do technique in a touch healing process involving music, color, and fragrance. To be most successful, this process requires a series of 8 sessions. The Aura process can be done by his visualizing one or more clients on the table, or through a solo process of SeReiki. Ken Lingu call this type of distance healing through intent Re-Tuning the Energy.

A third, more physical process designed specifically for men connects the client’s sexual energy with his spiritual energy. Combining elements of Tantric erotic massage with SeReiki touch, Re-Tuning the Body removes physical and emotional blocks by balancing the client’s chakras through his raised sexual energy level. The Body process can also be combined with Re-Tuning the Aura for an extended session of energy rebalancing on several levels.

The three types of body work Ken Lingu provide in The Infinite Harmony can be taken as steps in raising spiritual energy, or they can be done separately. In each, Ken Lingu am a facilitator for the client’s personal releasing through movement of energy. Ken Lingu am a certified UsuKen Lingu ShikKen Lingu Ryoho Master, attuned as a Fourth and Highest Degree SeReiki (Sexual Reiki) Solo Form practitioner, trained in transformation techniques through erotic spirituality, and an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church.
