The Courage to Let Go of Anatomy (Part 2)

"Let go of anatomy"

When I hear that,
It might feel a little scary.

But what I mean by "letting go" here is...
Even by pretending not to know,
It doesn't mean you should stop studying.

It's about choosing not to move forward.


The more diligently someone has studied anatomy,
This happens unconsciously during the procedure.

"This is the muscle here."
"Next is this line."
"This reaction should occur now."

This is not a mistake.
Rather, it's a sign of sincerity.

But the body is very honest.

When targeted, I take a defensive stance.
When guided too much, they resist.

Therefore, from a certain point,
The treatment will ask you this question.

"Do you really need that right now?"
"Are you looking at knowledge right now? Or are you looking at the body?"


The courage to let go of anatomy,
It's not about erasing knowledge.

- You will first receive the sensation of touch. - You will later understand the reaction that occurred. - You will be able to choose not to aim for certain things.

Return to this order.

Anatomy is,
From the "handle" that pulls the treatment,
It will shift its role to becoming the "foundation" that supports the treatment.


At this stage,
The treatment will become a little quieter.

Dramatic changes may decrease.
The number of words needed for explanation may also decrease.

but,
The recipient begins by saying:

"I received a very pleasant treatment, and now I feel so much better."
"I don't know why, but I felt relieved."

"I can't explain it, but it was really good."

"Before I knew it, the tension in my body had released."

"I felt like I could just go with the flow and it was a good feeling."

it is,

This is proof that I was touched by a hand that transcends knowledge.
