shiatsu weekend at Gaunts House

As usual, my UK trip was built around a shiatsu training weekend, once again with Bill Palmer at Gaunts House. Here, too, the extraordinary weather played a role in three wonderful days in good company working on the “third family” of meridians. On a physical level we used the relationship between agonist and antagonist movement to help connect “sulky” (= resistant) muscles. It was particularly pertinent as I was certainly out of relationship with my painfully tight neck-and-shoulder muscles. The broader theme, including all aspects of the self, also spoke volumes, as did being part of a group – or not. But in the therapeutic world everything is ok. I felt part of this family.
