Why 'Seven Stars'?

The name "Seven Stars Shiatsu" originates in its relationship with:

  • Tai Chi posture "Step forward to open the Seven Stars", which can be used as a qi gong posture to 'open' the seven heavenly input (star) points allowing 'outer qi' to be mixed with 'inner qi'.  
  • These points, where heavenly qi is said to enter the body, make up the acupuncture point combination known as 'The 7 Star Points'.  These points are located at: Crown (GV 20), both sides of the neck (SI 16), both shoulders (LI14), and buttocks (GB 30).Pleaides
  • The seven Chakra centres, and the number seven in spiritual / esoteric philosophy in general, eg: the seven cycles of the medicine wheel, “seventh heaven”, the seven planes of existence, etc

Although these relationships are unlikely to be apparent initally, they might still appeal in a general or archetypal way.
