Yoga and the Senses with Clare Sullivan

Focussing in on our senses can help us stay grounded and calm.
In Clare’s classes and one-on-one sessions, there is a focus on each sense:

Taste - what I am eating?

Sound - what I am listening to?

Smell - what I am smelling?

Touch - how am I moving?

Sight - what I am reading?

"Release" by Danna Faulds

"I lay myself down on the welcoming ground,
the earth's spine becoming mine.
Peace seeps into heavy limbs and slows my heartbeat to the pace of nature.
I take refuge in the quiet,
and let my burdens go,
one by one,
until the earth and I both float in the same vast and holy silence."

The Heart of Shiatsu

by Jane Pollard

Something that is often neglected in Shiatsu is the long tradition of working on the core energy of a person via the chest and “hara”, the abdomen. This work is called Ampuku. The “hara”, in Japanese culture, is so much more than just an area of the body, it is the heart, the spirit, the very essence of a person and of their culture.
This is Shiatsu at its most profound.

I have always used some Ampuku in my practice, but I have been very excited to discover over the last couple of years a translation of two classic Japanese texts on the subject from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A Shiatsu colleague in Fukuoka, in Japan, has republished these with the original elegant woodblock illustrations. With the help of his texts and his online course and demonstrations, I have been able to study the subject in much greater depth than ever and to expand the possibilities of this beautiful, affective (to do with the emotions) and effective work. It is wonderful to be able to make these available to the people I work with.

As my Qigong Grandmaster Yang Meijun said: “Yige Xin” or “One single Heart”.
