Day 8 at the Kushi Institute

When I have been receiving the shiatsu massage for the last 2 days it was for the back part of the treatment, but today I got to experience the front.  It entailed an acupressure massage up and down the six meridians of the legs and arms.  It was incredible and I am going to figure out a way to incorporate it into my acupuncture treatments.  In school we put dots and studied the precise location of each point but I never got to feel what it was like just to have the meridians massaged it it relaxing and very healing.   We also wake up each morning and stretch out all the joints and press on all the meridians before we start our day.  It is a wonderful way to start the morning and then a massage after that I felt great.
We serve fish Friday nights at the Kushi Institute so tonight we got to make fish cakes and we used organic polenta as the binder to hold them together.  They also had carrots, onions, shoyu , and chopped up white fish.  They were a real treat and fun to make.  Some of the students left for New York for the weekend so it is going to be pretty quiet till Monday.
