Movement, breath, and self-massage

Michio Kushi’s handbook introduces Dō-In through three practical elements: breathing, posture, and self-massage or manipulation. The description presents these exercises as a traditional system for harmonizing body systems, including the use of gentle pressure along the body’s meridians. It also places Dō-In in a wider context, linking it historically to practices such as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation. The book’s scope brings together physical exercises and the tradition’s broader aims of mental and spiritual cultivation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in traditional movement practices that combine breathing, posture, and self-massage

Book overview

Dō-In is an ancient traditional exercise for the cultivation of physical health, mental serenity, and spirituality. Over the last 5,000 years, it has served as the origin of such well-known disciplines as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation. Literally meaning to pull and stretch, Dō-In originated as a way of achieving longevity and attaining the highest potential of mental and spiritual development.

Dō-In techniques are a series of motions designed to harmonize body systems. The Dō-In Way details the fundamental aspects of this exercise, which involves breathing, posture, and self-massage and manipulation to stimulate body systems. The gentle application of pressure on the body's meridians corresponds with physical processes, and allows for the conditioning of internal organs. This is a comprehensive handbook to an ancient system of movement designed to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health.
