Cultural elements from China

From the Taoist beliefs of the ancient Chinese (Tao or Dao meaning Path) comes the notion that the universe is in constant change and transformation. This dynamic is represented by the two aspects of all creation: Yin and Yang. All traditional Asian sciences, including the healing arts, are based in this belief. To have harmony in nature is to have perfect health. Balance between the two extremes creates abundant “Qi” (life force energy) baguapand is therefore critical in all things. Master Okazaki stressed moderation in all things as one of the keys to prosperity. We who follow the Danzan path constantly assess our own balance on the mat, at work, play, relationships, and all other aspects of our being.

Cultural elements from Hawaii

From the Huna wisdom of the ancient Hawaiians comes the belief that man is comprised of three selves: The lower self, the thinking self and the higher self. These three “Minds” are inextricably linked by “Aka” (ethereal conduit) and are energetically maintained by “Mana” (life force energy) For one to cultivate Mana (Ho’o manamana), one must live his life with “Pono” or truth. With enough Mana coursing through his body, one was able to harmonize the three minds and experience the subtle realms of reality. Master Okazaki believed that “Kokua” (helping each other with no expectation) was critical to the Path. He also believed that fostering a feeling of “Ohana” (family) towards others was “Pono” or “of the Truth.” It is held that health, happiness and satisfaction in life are derived from or “Ho’o manamana” ... literally: to “empower” yourself.

Cultural elements from Japan

From the Shinto beliefs of the ancient Japanese comes the idea that Nature is to be revered and that the spirits of our ancestors live on in its many manifestations. Master Okazaki believed that maintaining healthy relationships with your family would lead to healthy communities and nations. He believed that service to others was the highest form of expression in our attempt to understand our own true Nature. Harmony and reverence for nature helps to create abundant “Ki” (life force energy) and is critical to healthy living. We therefore practice our Arts and Ways with the utmost regard for our friends, family, teachers and environment.

An Asian-Hawaiian fusion of health & healing.

Danzan Healing is a holistic approach to wellness based in the fundamental wisdom of:

• Traditional Chinese Medicine and the principles of Qi.

• Japanese Seifukujitsu and the principles of tissue restoration.

• Hawaiian Ho’o pono and the principles of relationship balance.

Danzan Healing views the human body as a balanced Life-force energy field guided by consciousness and manifesting as physical form. Treatments and therapies aim to correct imbalance or conflict at the root level prior to assisting the recovery of secondary levels. Thus minimizing reoccurrence and allowing for more effective physical restoration.

Danzan Healing philosophy starts with "ABC"...

Abundance of love (Aloha), service to others (Kokua) and gratitude (Mahalo) are the keys to joy and harmonious relationships (pono).

Balance in all things like work & play, analytics & meditation, diet & exercise etc is the path to health and longevity (Yin & Yang).

Circulation is the way of nature itself. Our lifestyle must evolve with the seasons to allow our qi to circulate freely. Our activity, attitude and diet must enable our life-force energy, blood and bodily fluids to circulate properly thus eliminating pain and increasing our ability to ward off sickness (Tao).

Danzan healing treats issues at the following levels:

Physical
Whereby pain and suffering are brought about via sudden, foreign energy or information entering the body. This may include issues stemming from:

• Trauma
• Toxicity
• Virus

Energetic
Whereby pain and suffering are brought about via a conflict with the free flow of abundant Life-force energy. This may include issues stemming from:

• Deficiency
• Excess
• Blockage or Stagnation

Psycho-Emotional
Whereby pain and suffering are brought about via patterns and complexes stemming from negative relationships and beliefs. These patterns may intensify:

• Fear
• Resentment
• Guilt

Spiritual
Whereby pain and suffering are brought about via conflict between the three levels of consciousness or mind. This may include issues stemming from:
Misunderstanding between the sub-conscious, conscious and super-conscious minds

• Conscious mind dominance & spiritual disconnect
• Extra-spiritual occupation
• Danzan Healers believe that abundant compassion (Aloha), service to others (Kokua) and personal power (Mana) are the ultimate keys to effective healing.
