I started this blog a couple of years ago to trace my development as I trained to become a shiatsu practitioner. Now as I move on from training […]

What I should have said to Paul Lundberg

Tony Brown @ February 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

With some trepidation I attended my final regular weekend with Paul Lundberg at the Brighton College. The nervousness came from the fact that in the previous couple of years I have not quite “got” Paul Lundberg’s approach to shiatsu. Nothing connected and I could not understand what all the fuss was about.
I found […]

Shiatsu 1 - Dentist 0

Tony Brown @ February 1, 2008 # 3 Comments

Eventually I got to see my Dentist and was prepared for him to do anything to get rid of my pain. Unfortunately, the receptionist had written the appointment out incorrectly and I was booked for a simple examination and no time for the major facial surgery I had convinced myself that I needed!
A prod, […]

Such a long time away

Tony Brown @ January 23, 2008 # One Comment

I have not posted to ShiatsuBlogger for such a long time now that I was beginning to feel this blog had reached the end of its natural life. I have not had much impetus to write down my thoughts up until now but the energy is returning and needs to be expressed in words […]

The future of ShiatsuBlogger

Tony Brown @ December 5, 2007 # 3 Comments

I wrote on Monday that I would take a few days to decide how I wanted to continue with ShiatsuBlogger. I felt I had the following options:

Keep going posting with a regular schedule
Keep posting when I had something to say
Close down the blog and move on

Closing down the site down was an attractive option. […]

Learning to say no to find balance

Tony Brown @ November 29, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Yesterday I was musing on how important it is to learn when to stop treating a client if they fail to respond to shiatsu. This feeds indirectly into my quest for more balancing in my life as they are about setting boundaries and learning to say no.
I have a lot going on in my […]

Balancing act

Tony Brown @ November 27, 2007 # No Comment Yet

This weekend we drew diagrams to show where we give as shiatsu practitioners and what we receive to support us. For most of the students there was a lot of giving and a real need to more support and for me this imbalance is why I am finding life Exciting and stagnant.
But it was […]

Exciting and stagnant

Tony Brown @ November 26, 2007 # No Comment Yet

I am going through a strange time that is both very exciting and stagnant.
I am really enjoying my third year studies. Getting the clinic running with its thoughts of advertising and marketing. At the same time thinking about how I want to run my own practise. Even the thought of losing my […]

What is the future of shiatsu blogging?

Tony Brown @ November 21, 2007 # No Comment Yet

I wish Tracey all the best as she takes some time out from blogging. I completely sympathise with her reasons as I have been thinking about the future of ShiatsuBlogger recently. This is not my last post or a notice of my retirement but it is an admission that I feel that this […]
