About Lotus Way Shiatsu Clinic
Having worked in a fast-paced
and highly demanding position for many years, he began to realize that his work was not spiritually rewarding. So
he formalized his training in the area of eastern healing arts that he had been fascinated with for over 30 years. Jim
brings to his practice a warmth & great understanding of the individual's needs, both physically and spiritually.
His 23 years of experience dealing with daily stress combines with a deep interest in the natural healing arts to provide
an alternative to massage therapy for individuals with poor circulation, respiratory/sinus problems, constipation/digestion
troubles, neck, shoulder and back pain, fibromyalgia, headache, migraine, depression, fatigue, insomnia and stress-related problems. Shiatsu is also
a great style of massage for general stress relief and relaxation.
Lotus Way Shiatsu Clinic offers two locations: in Westmont just minutes
by car from the communities of Downers Grove, Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Darien and more; and in Evanston

Shiatsu sessions are offered for individuals with health issues as well as for those who seek general well-being plus physical,
spiritual & emotional balance. People find Shiatsu is a nice alternative to conventional massage therapy. It is an
art form where therapist and receiver both benefit from physical and spiritual interaction. Click

Yin
and Yang are what we bodyworkers strive so hard to bring into harmony with one another. This Symbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents
"everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called
"yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white,
just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other (mutually engendering).
Notice that within the yang, there is a seed of yin & similarly within the yin, there is a seed of yang (the small circles
in the diagram). While
"yin" is associated with things dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" is bright,
active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang portions of the symbol actually gives you a sense
of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin; just as things expand and contract, and
temperature changes from hot to cold. The health of a person relates to the proper balance & flow of yin & yang into
& out of each other. Shiatsu strives to remove blockages in this flow to improve health & general wellbeing. |
