Sun Kitty ☀️In Shiatsu, we never leave you "drifting." This is the secret of the "Mother Hand" (Bo-shi). ✋🏮
When I perform Kembiki (that rhythmic rocking), I always use 2 hands with 2 distinct roles:
1️⃣ The Mother Hand (Bo-shi): This hand stays still. It rests firmly on your sacrum, shoulder, or hara (centre of gravity).
It doesn't "work"; it just "Is." It says to your nervous system: "I am here. You are safe. I am holding the space."
2️⃣ The Child Hand (Ji-shi): This is the active hand that creates the rhythmic rocking or leans into the meridians.
Without the Mother Hand, the rocking of Kembiki might feel "unsteady" or chaotic. But with that constant, still connection, your brain feels safe enough to let go.
It’s the foundational grounding applied to touch: 1 hand for Stillness, 1 hand for Movement, resulting in Total Liberation from pain and stress. 🛡️✨
