Sei-Ki | the way of touch

Sei-Ki is looking into human nature and seeing things as they are. 

Akinobu Kishi

In Sei-Ki, which literally translated means ‘Harmonizing Ki’, we are using touch to fully meet a life situation, mostly being expressed as a person. When we touch a person we are completely open and curious. We often ask ‘What is this life situation that I am touching?’. Through intuitive touch, the curiosity of ‘What is this’, and allowing the life situation to open, the person will feel received.

In Sei-Ki we recognise and find a way to touch your inner authentic truth. Through that we are able to receive you fully. This being fully received through touch is the therapeutic element of Sei-Ki. 

Often a Sei-Ki practitioner will experience feeling and seeing inner movement of the person that they are touching. We are following that inner movement, we are allowing it to be. Sometimes the inner movement will grow into outer movement and your limbs, head and even whole body is moving. All of this is an expression of your inner authentic truth. 

Sei-ki is a deeply still and soothing practice that can bring about potent changes in your life. It can support your wellbeing and can help you shed what doesn’t serve so that your true, authentic self can shine. 
Sei-ki embraces the process of healing and does not seek to cure. 

In Sei-ki we cherish the process of healing. If you are sick you can objectively observe your desire and feeling. It is not the direct purpose of Sei-ki to cure illness, but there is cure. Imagine you are a river. Ideally, the flow of water should be easy, but there can be stones damming it at point and the flow becomes choked. This is how we are when we have blocks. Shiatsu aims to remove the stones for you, so it’s passive. In Sei-ki, the aim is to give attention to the blocks. Suggest the main points which link or influence others in the flow; the river can then flow and clear itself. You don’t take the blocks away for the person. Sei-ki is just looking to see how the body changes or reacts through resonance. Cure is finding your natural self and talent and living your life authentically.

What happens for me as the 'client' in a Sei-Ki session?
For me the experience of Sei-Ki as the ‘client’ varies. Sometimes when the session has finished I come away with a feeling of having returned to myself, other times I don’t have words for what has happened during the session or can’t describe how I feel. At times a part of me is received by the Sei-Ki practitioner that I didn’t know needs recognition. Often in these situations a thought would come to me that stays with me. These thoughts at times have been permissions for me to change my life. I have also received deep understandings about emotional patterns I was stuck in and they seemed clearer after the Sei-Ki sessions. Save to say a Sei-Ki session is always interesting as a ‘client.
