This might manifest as pressure, a pulling sensation, or even significant pain during movement or at rest, pain that is persistent and difficult to alleviate. Such complaints can be an expression of a current, but especially a long-term, difficult emotional situation that puts a strain on the heart, or of other types of stress. They can also indicate an imbalance in the body&#8217;s posture, which often develops as a consequence of such emotional patterns, or for example, in cases of scoliosis or after accidents. \r\n\r\n Course Content  On this day, we will work with the upper back and In between the shoulder blades in a variety of ways. We will take the time to hold this area with our hands and gain an understanding of its characteristics. This will help us to apply Local Shiatsu and specifically address areas of concern (such as the costovertebral joints). We will work both physically and with mindfulness in the energetic space. \r\n\r\nWe will work deeply on the body while also being mindful of the energetic space. We will locate, as it were, &#8220;electrically charged&#8221; spinous processes of the thoracic spine and release them using internal techniques.

In diesem Kurzseminar werden wir uns mit Schmerzen im unteren R\u00fccken besch\u00e4ftigen. Die Arbeit mit Blockaden im mittleren R\u00fccken k\u00f6nnen hier ebenfalls wichtig werden.<\/p>\n<p>Wie alle menschlichen Probleme entstehen R\u00fcckenschmerzen immer in einem konkreten Lebenszusammenhang. Stress, schmerzhafte Erfahrungen, emotionale Turbulenzen oder Vermeidungen sind sowohl als Ursache wie auch f\u00fcr die Aufrechterhaltung der Beschwerden von Bedeutung. Es lohnt sich, im Gespr\u00e4ch wie auch in unserer Ber\u00fchrung solchen Gr\u00fcnden nachzusp\u00fcren. Wenn es uns gelingt, ein Gef\u00fchl f\u00fcr die N\u00f6te dieses Menschen zu entwickeln, wird unsere Arbeit sehr viel hilfreicher sein als wenn wir lediglich technisch korrekt vorgehen.<\/p>\n<p>Neben der Meridianarbeit entsprechend einer energetischen Einsch\u00e4tzung hat sich das Lokale Shiatsu mit dem jeweiligen Ort der Beschwerden als sehr wirksam erwiesen. Hierzu nehmen wir den betreffenden Bereich in die H\u00e4nde, erforschen, welche Besonderheiten sich im energetischen Muster dieses K\u00f6rperraumes zeigen, arbeiten gezielt und direkt damit und beobachten die entstehenden Ver\u00e4nderungen.<\/p>\n<p>Dar\u00fcber hinaus wird es notwendig, die Einbindung des Schmerzbereiches in den ganzen R\u00fccken und in den gesamten K\u00f6rper anzuschauen und nach solchen Orten zu schauen, die f\u00fcr die Aufrechterhaltung der Beschwerden besonders wichtig zu sein scheinen. Solche \u201eResonanzbereiche\u201c  k\u00f6nnen in der unmittelbaren Umgebung liegen oder auch im entferntesten K\u00f6rperbereich. <\/p>\n<p>Im Besonderen \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen wir daf\u00fcr das Zusammenspiel der \u201edrei Diaphragmen\u201c im Schulter-Nacken-Bereich, im Mittlerem W\u00e4rmer und im Beckenbereich und schauen nach deutlichen Kyo-Mustern beispielsweise im Hara oder in den F\u00fc\u00dfen und Fu\u00dfgelenken. Die Arbeit mit ihnen wird die Situation im Schmerzbereich in der Regel deutlich beeinflussen.<\/p>\n<p>Schlie\u00dflich wird die aktive Mitarbeit unsere Klient:innen wichtig und welche \u00dcbungen und Hausaufgaben wir ihnen mitgeben k\u00f6nnen, mit deren Hilfe sie selber die Situation in ihrem unteren R\u00fccken langfristig stabilisieren k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n<p>Das Gespr\u00e4ch, das Lokale Shiatsu, die meridianfreie Orientierung im K\u00f6rper und die Arbeit mit Resonanzbereichen werden in diesem Kurzseminar eingehend besprochen.<\/p>\n<h2>Mit der Teilnahme an diesem Kursseminar werden Sie lernen,<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li> wie wichtig die Lebensumst\u00e4nde f\u00fcr die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von Schmerzen zwischen den Schulterbl\u00e4ttern sind.\n<li>\n<li> wie Sie mit Lokalem Shiatsu direkt mit den energetischen Mustern der Beschwerden arbeiten und den entstehenden Ver\u00e4nderungen zuschauen k\u00f6nnen.\n<li> die lokalen Beschwerden durch die Arbeit mit Resonanzbereichen zu beeinflussen.\n<li> mit Hausaufgaben und Tipps die Motivation der Klient:innen zu f\u00f6rdern, selber f\u00fcr eine dauerhafte Verbesserung der Situation aktiv zu werden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Zielgruppe<\/h2>\n<p> Shiatsu-PraktikerInnen und fortgeschritten Studierende <\/p>\n<h2>Voraussetzungen<\/h2>\n<p> Mindestens ein Drittel einer 3-j\u00e4hrigen Shiatsu-Ausbildung<\/p>\n<h2>Bemerkung<\/h2>\n<p> 6 Stunden Aus-\/Fortbildung (EMR\/ASCA konform)<\/p>\n<h2> Siehe auch die Artikel <\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/wilfriedrappenecker.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/WRappenecker_Shiatsu_Rueckenschm.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Shiatsu bei R\u00fcckenschmerzen <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wilfriedrappenecker.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/WRappenecker_Shiatsu_Herzenergie.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Shiatsu mit der Energie des Herzens <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wilfriedrappenecker.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/W.Rappenecker_Lokales_Shiatsu.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Lokales Shiatsu <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shiatsu bei R\u00fcckenschmerzen 1 Arbeit mit dem unteren und dem mittleren R\u00fccken R\u00fcckenschmerzen sind ein h\u00e4ufiger Grund, der Klienten unsere Praxis aufsuchen l\u00e4sst.
