General direction for SEITAI exercises 2

[when, where, how many times, how much often]

SEITAI exercise is very effective, effect is instant, if you do it exactly.
Whenever you don’t feel well, do your exercises only a few times no matter where.
You don’t need to take hours to do SEITAI exercises.
If you want quick progress of curing, do exercises shortly and more often.
Even if your life is too busy to do something special for health care,  you must  have 5 minutes before uprising in the morning and after going to bed until falling to sleep in the end of the day.
Please try to do exercises at least once in a day, morning or night.
If you do twice, it is better.

Many SEITAI exercises are possible to do on the bed. If your bed is too soft to get right posture, a pillow under lower back may be helpful, or just simply, find space on the floor.
Even if you have  much free time to do exercise in the daytime, anyway do it for a few minutes before getting up from the bed. It is very effective to refresh yourself.( Also you will be free from ‘duty’ to do exercise as routine.)
And of course, you can do whenever you want.
I suggest to do the exercises those are with standing or sitting position, when you feel tired of your work.
Your work may be just standing, sitting, mental labor, physical labor, it doesn’t matter, both of repitition of same movement or fixation of a posture make particular muscles tired.
SEITAI exrecise works on that muscles exactly.
 
 

General direction for SEITAI exercises 1

[When? Where? How much often? How many times?]

In the beginning of treatment, your exercises are to relax rigid muscles around problematic area (not very refined).
Then, whenever, however, you can do them, as much as you feel good.　Please remind that the point is PLEASURE.
 SEITAI exercises is not training of strengthen partial muscles, nor torture.
Don’t think you must do until you feel very tired.
Don’t count the number, pay attention to movement and feeling of the body.
Typical misunderstanding about doing exercise is that muscles must be exhausted, you must feel hard, painful, you must force beyond limit of mobility of joints, elasticity of muscles. More doing, more effective, even though you get too tired.
I think that this disciplined mind - enduring penance is virtue - is cause of not listening your body’s voice -feeling, pain.
This self torturing often make your sense of the body dull. Then, you may break body’s function by your wrong effort.

There are two kinds of pain and fatigue. One is pleasant, the other is displeased.
You should discriminate comfortable pain from dangerous pain while doing exercise.

Another mistaking to do exercises is doing like an unwilling duty, then it becomes loose like a marionette, you don’t feel any tension. It means that movement is not exact. Your body has a habit not to use that muscle.
If you feel your exercise is very easy, you should do more careful, slowly, not to pass through the point.

It is useful to attend to keep the center line of the body for exact movement.
You may notice difference between right side and left side.
Try to adjust that imbalance, then you feel well instantly.
 
 　 

Purpose of SEITAI exercises

You may know that some kind of exercises is good to keep your health.
 But do you know which exercises useful is for your problems?

 When we have disorder, often we find the spot or area which doesn't move well , painful or block.
 SEITAI exercise is clearly purposeful to solve patucular problem.
SEITAI exercise focalizes on the point which caused for disorder, and arouse the power to take the obstacle away.
 Even if we don't know the cause of disorder, SEITAI basic exercises release  tension of  all over the body.
 Then the point which cause of disorder will appear. You will be able to feel that point.

 By specific movement of the arms and legs we can stimulate almost  parts of  the body.  But actually the movements of arms and legs need to come from center of the body.  It is not only local movement.
 Then it can activate  healing power even more than treatment.

SEITAI exercises recover sensitivity of the body

SEITAI exercises have different purpose from general exercises.

There are 2 kind of  SEITAI exercises. KATSUGEN UNDO ( spontanious movement to develop extrapyramidal system) and specific SEITAI exercises (movement that is focused on pin point of each blockage).

First I will explain specific SEITAI exercises. Because, in HIROE SEITAI session, therapist will advice to do this exercise, it is for your case, not for general.
During the treatment by hands, body start to show where flow is blocked. That part is insensitive, usually.
So you may not notice that it is the cause of your conscious symptom.
Therapist points out where blockage is, and shows you proper exercise to take it away.

As you continue to do your exercise, you start to feel your body.
Whenever you say to me, " Yes, yes, I can feel..." while you try to do exercise, I feel very happy.
Some clients don't feel in the beginning, I see on his face, "...?...". Then I tell him, " Try for some time."
Even very rigid, insensitive body will be changed surely.
After one blockage is taken away, other parts of the body also start to change.
And your feeling of whole body will become better.
Moreover as you will notice subtle distortion or unbalance, you will be able to adjust it by yourself.
