 | What is Ki? ‘Ki’ (pronounced Key) is Japanese for 'Life Force' or 'Vital Energy', present in all living things. When the body’s Ki (energy flow) is blocked or depleted it creates disharmony. The body alerts us in the form of mental, emotional or physical symptoms. Acupuncture, shiatsu, healing and zimbate act on the energy system of the body (Ki) releasing blockages responsible for psychological, emotional or physical problems. Symptoms such as stiffness, headaches, sluggishness and backache often disappear, while clarity of mind and focus tend to improve. Some people have treatment as a preventative measure or to strengthen their constitution or because they feel unwell within themselves without being ‘ill’ in the Western sense. Ki People's treatments regulate the harmonious flow of Ki bringing the body back to a state of harmony. "The natural healing forces within each of us, is the true healer of disease." Hippocrates 460-377BC What is Ki People? Siwan Quinn Bratton and Jonathan Tarr, are the founder members of the 'Ki People' Holistic Healthcare Clinic in Central London and Kent. Both have a profound and deep respect for the natural healing energies of the body, based on over 20 years of experience in the UK and abroad working in the corporate, private and charity sectors of complementary therapy. This wealth of teaching and clinical experience using acupuncture, shiatsu and healing informs their treatment as much as their conventional training in the scientific principles of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and those of Traditional Chinese Medicine. |
