I am often asked by some colleagues at the beginning of their journey or by students how they too can do what I do with my hands. The answer is simple: you cannot do what I do with MY hands! Because I cannot be someone else, just as no one else can be like me. We are unique, even if we may be similar from a physical standpoint. Beyond that, there is also the emotional, psychological, and intellectual aspect, and external influences… Any of these, and all of them together, make us different. So how could someone do what or how I do?! And what use would it be to resemble me?! Wouldn’t they want to be themselves instead?!
Limiting myself to the technical aspect, it is not enough to know it perfectly to perform the perfect therapy! It is not enough to know how to apply the technique, how many lines, how many points, how many times… Beyond that, something more is needed. As Sensei Sorin Iga said: in the Yumeiho method, the technique only accounts for 50% of the therapy; the other half consists of a lot of work, dedication, skills, vocation, and… SOUL! It sounds grandiose and “spiritual,” but beyond words, it is REALITY. Without this dedication to the recipient, the therapy you will apply will be dry, impersonal, spectacular when viewed from the outside, but… that’s all!
There will always be effects after applying the Yumeiho method, even if the practitioner is at the beginning of their journey or has experience. Of course, these effects will differ depending on the abilities and knowledge of the practitioner, but in essence, effects are achieved! The Yumeiho method really works! I have yet to meet a recipient who says they didn’t feel anything after receiving therapy. And even if they don’t say it or admit it, it can be seen and felt! So it is clear that any Yumeiho practitioner can achieve effects after applying the therapy. The difference in results is given by the practitioner’s involvement and the perseverance with which they apply what they learned in the introductory and advanced courses.
I’m not saying anything new, especially for those who attend courses with Sensei! All of this, and much more, is said and repeated in the hope that the practitioner will understand that Yumeiho is not just what is taught in the course as a technique.
Practice, continuous improvement, and perseverance. These will ultimately make the difference when you are face to face with the recipient. Therapeutic experience will help you evolve and achieve the results that everyone wants to achieve. This is the great SECRET!
In conclusion, returning to the initial question: “When will I be able to do…?” The answer is the same: never!
Through hard work and tenacity, you will be able to apply the Yumeiho method with the specific particularities of each of you, particularities given by physical conformation, skills, knowledge, and mental attitude…
All of these can help you apply the PERFECT therapy! And don’t forget to put your SOUL into what you do! That’s what I do…
