Da Shin Technique
with Hideo Takahashi
This seminar introduces the Da Shin technique to beginners, highlighting its unique approach to acupuncture and philosophy. Diagnosis is done by palpating the abdomen, identifying pathological areas as "Jaki," which are then treated directly to eliminate symptoms.
With a minimal dose of abstract theory, Hideo Takahashi presents the modernized Da Shin method, using brass teishin and a small ebony mallet, and demonstrates how it can be applied to enhance your daily practice.
