Lynn Hughes comments on Letters to a Young Therapist

Wonderful Gina..I remember visulizing how many clients I would have a week when I finished my Shiatsu training, My imagination and the reality are poles apart...way fewer people knocking at my door than I envisaged. Though the joy of giving Shiatsu is greater than I imagined too. As far as I am concerned Shiatsu for me is a not for profit business but with an added bonuses that are not financial. One of them is reading your words about Shiatsu in everyday language. It makes such a difference. Thank you Lynn x

Diane: Thank you. I'm sure being a writer has much of the same anguish and reward.

Helen: I knew you would get it! LOL

Paige: Thank you, and feel free to direct anyone here. And then over to Mark Silver's Heart of Business site, where they can learn how to make peace with the money-making aspect.

Thanks Gina for a wonderful post. As I come to the end of my acupuncture training, I smile as I hear the comments of some of my classmates on how much they will charge and how they won't do this or that or the other thing (like working for someone for say £9/hr etc) and I will have to direct them here to your wise words. My business is nearly five years old and it is starting to get there financially, but as you said so beautifully it is the 'right livelihood' aspect that is truly the thing that makes me go - yup this is it.

Best wishes,

Fantastic post Gina. I love your ability to write beautifully, honestly and succinctly about really interesting,relevant, and thought-provoking subjects - how do you do it?!! You have totally summed up my experiences - positive and negative - and I salute you for it! (I'm still working on the 'making a living' part - but I am so rich in so many other ways because of Shiatsu that I will stick with it for as long as it takes!!)

Shiatsu Hugs,

Such a great post. And a good reminder to all of us about what it takes to do what we love, what it takes out of us, and how it can replenish us, and how a conscious examination of all of those things is helpful. Thanks.

Hi Gina,
I love this post. It made me smile and appreciate just where I am on my Shiatsu journey and remind me of where I want to be which lately it has been difficult to see. Wood and trees and all that and refocus me on my shiatsu path, so thank you for this great inspirational piece.
Namaste

Hi Ion! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I would definitely agree that the body is an expression of our energetic harmony, (or disharmony). Thank you for commenting!

Hi Gina,

I really liked this article!

You are right that our body is just a material form. And I think our bodies uses the energy from inside of the body to maintain it. Can this explain why some people get older faster but other look great even being old.

Probably the human body is the expression of energy harmony from inside of the body.

@Paige: Okay, so is the 'full monty tai chi sword type thing' something you would do *with* your family... just trying to understand... let alone picture that. LOL Definitely need to hang out with you more! (Maybe at a retreat?)
