This course will emphasize hands-on demonstrations and practice of the Shiatsu technique. The philosophy of Oriental thought and Oriental medical theory taught in MAS 210 Shiatsu I will be expanded upon and will be the basis for the evolution of the Shiatsu technique practiced in this course. Central theoretical concepts will be reviewed through a combination of lecture and hands-on palpation of energy centers, meridians, and acupressure potent points (tsubos). Students will practice energy assessment and will learn to give a full Shiatsu treatment. The practice of Shiatsu involves body mechanics which train the practitioner to originate thought, energy, and movement from the Hara. Therefore, the study of Shiatsu includes not only the practice of a physical technique, but requires the integration of Oriental philosophical principles to reach a state of centeredness and calm necessary to energy assessment. Students will learn the concept of "Bodymind"as one entity. : BIO 171 and 172, BIO 165, MAS 110, MAS 210 each with a grade of C or better. : BIO 265, MAS 215. F
