Greetings from Brussels: together we are better. Listening and learning at the Shiatsu symposium this weekend 🌍 In many countries, non-formal training is excluded from the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). ☯️ Access to the NQF is important for the Europe-wide professional recognition of Shiatsu. Building relationships and working with regulatory authorities is therefore important to protect and improve the professional status of Shiatsu. ☯️ Together, we can ensure that Shiatsu is given the recognition it deserves so that our practice can continue to grow and flourish throughout Europe. 🙏 🌍Contact your European Shiatsu Federation Representative or your National Shiatsu Association to have your voice heard at the Shiatsu Symposium; February 2025 in Brussels. ☯️ https://europeanshiatsufederation.eu/ @harmonize_gr @eheimerle @eheimerle @shiatsusociety Society (UK) @ro_shiatsu @castellani.susanna @SzilviaŐri @KarolinaPomichálková @irene_nolte_holistic_coaching @joannefaulknershiatsu #ShiatsuRecognition #ESFSymposium #ProfessionalShiatsu #NQF #ShiatsuInEurope #ElevatingShiatsu

🥶 Cold & Chi Stagnation: Why You Feel Stuck 🥶 Ever feel stiff, achy, or like your energy is frozen in place? That could be cold invading your meridians—specifically the Bladder Meridian, which runs from the inner corner of your eyes, over your head, down your spine, and all the way to your little toe. In Western medicine, we call it catching a cold. In Chinese medicine, it’s seen as cold blocking the flow of Chi, affecting not just your spine but also your immune system. Think about water—when it gets cold, it stops flowing and turns to ice. Your Chi is the same. If cold invades, energy stagnates, leaving you stiff, sluggish, and more prone to pain. 🔥 Keep your body warm. Protect your back from the cold. Keep your Chi moving! 🔥 🔗Sign up for a FREE online Qi Gong class & watch the full podcast episode. 🔗Link in bio or comment YES and I’ll send you the link! #ChiFlow #ColdStagnation #BladderMeridian #EnergyMatters #TCM #HolisticHealing

🔴 Blood & Chi Stagnation: Why It Matters 🔴 Chi (Qi) is not some mystical, made-up concept—it’s your body's energy, your life force. Every breath you take, every bite of food you eat, gets transformed into energy to fuel your body at a cellular level. In Chinese medicine, this energy flows through meridians—just like blood moves through arteries. But when Chi stagnates, blood stagnates too. And where there’s stagnation, there’s pain. 💨 Where Chi flows, blood goes. 💨 A little tension today? A dull ache? Left untreated, it can turn into sharp, fixed pain. Don’t ignore the signs—keep your energy moving! 🔗Link in bio or comment YES and I’ll send you the link! #BackPainRelief #TCM #QiGong #HolisticHealth #Acupressure #ChiFlowWithJo
