Mindfulness often goes hand in hand with Shiatsu practice.

But what does mindfulness really mean?

โžก๏ธMindfulness is the practice of bringing your full attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and without judgment. It means being aware of what you are doing, feeling, and thinkingโ€”๐’“๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’• ๐’๐’๐’˜โ€”rather than getting caught in regrets about the past or worries about the future.

What changes when your work comes from the center rather than effort?

In this immersive workshop, participants discover how Hara-centered awareness transforms Shiatsu practiceโ€”from doing to being, from technique to presence, from effort to effortless flow.

Open to students, practitioners, healers, meditators, and anyone seeking deeper grounding and connection to their true center. Whether youโ€™re refining your touch or reconnecting with yourself, this day offers a powerful return to what matters most.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring vision of justice, compassion, and collective care.

Dr. King reminded us that โ€œEverybody can be great, because everybody can serve.โ€ At the Five Lights Center of Shiatsu, we hold this truth closeโ€”service begins with presence, listening, and meeting one another with dignity and care.

May we continue to practice peace not only as an idea, but as an embodied actโ€”through our hands, our hearts, and our commitment to one anotherโ€™s well-being. ๐Ÿ™

With gratitude and remembrance.

The Five Lights Center of Shiatsu Studies

At the Five Lights Center, located New York City's Upper West Side, we believe that to give and receive the healing touch is the most human and innate of activities.

Give a Go MEANS Five Shiki MEANS light Kan MEANS Center: In modern shiatsu teachings, Go Shiki refers to the heat and energy in our hands. When we bring our two hands together in a gesture of reverence (Gassho), the right hand represents the Buddha and the left hand represents our own, physical being. Through our touch, we pray for healing energy and light to balance our energy channels in mind and body. Our motto is: The Power of Touchโ„ข We develop our inner ear in order to hear the flow of energy. We strive to let go of our egos, projections and judgments, to become healing light, able to give loving kindness to others. Participants are aided in their pursuit of peace, healing, health and freedom from restriction and pain. The Center for five lights offers Shiatsu, Reiki, Yoga, Qi Gong, Karate, Makko ho stretches, mindful meditation and other practices. These practices have proved to be effective tools and powerful pathways for creating and sustaining individual, family and community wellness. We foster deep communal support among members and a sense that the work is a group effort for the benefit of all of humanity and the Earth.
