Energy Work
In Japan, people greet each other with the phrase, “o gen ki desuka?” Loosely, it is like we would say, “how are you?” Literally, however, it is translated “is your ki (life energy) at baseline?” Likewise, when “ill,” the word used is “byo ki,” meaning “suffering ki.” In the East, there is a fundamental understanding and appreciation of the vital importance of ki, or “life energy.”
To be in harmony, healthy, productive, creative or even happy, one’s ki must be flowing properly throughout the meridian system of the body. There are many systems available to help people whose ki has become stagnant, or even blocked due to a multitude of stressors to the self and body.
In SGK, J. Martin Raine-Okubo, RMT, employs the systems of EFT (Meridian Tapping Technique), Acupressure and Reiki in his Energy Work. In the past ten years he has worked with many individuals in energy work, sometimes in conjunction with counseling/therapy clients, life coaching clients, martial art's students and for those just needing energy work. He has become familiar with the human condition through the philosophical studies of “Budo,” the “Way of the Warrior,” years of work as a counselor/therapist, and extensive training in the various martial arts, especially the soft-styles of Tai-Chi and Jujitsu. Along with learning self-defense techniques, the Jujitsu practitioner, at the black belt level, also learns “pressure point” fighting. Many of the points attacked in Jujitsu are the same points used to heal in acupuncture. These gates (where vital energy can be manipulated) can be used to increase or decrease the flow of energy in order to restore healthful balance within the body, or disrupt the flow of energy in order to defeat the opponent.
