Yanaghishita Sensei Memory (1932 – 2010)

Depois do falecimento do nosso professor mais querido e Presidente da Associação, Junko Ida, a Presidente da Associação Europeia, honrou-me com o pedido de que redigisse umas palavras de homenagem à memória de Yanaghishita Sensei, para serem publicadas. O meu texto foi o seguinte:

In 2005, when i started to learn Toyohari every teacher or older student talked about Yanaghishita Sensei as an Unique Master in the technique of controlling the qi and applying it with the Toyohari Meridian Therapy to his patients.

Because i knew that he would not come to Europe, i went to Japan twice. In 2009, i was very lucky because  i could receive a demonstration of a technique from him. I was feeling very low energy, a little nausea and constipated. After feeling my pulse and belly he decided to do me the spl3. He put the silver needle next to the point and i felt a warmth in the point that instantly was transmitted to my belly and i could feel immediately my hara. It was like it had a connection and that started to clarify all the area. My intestines started to move! The sensation was amazing.

After that he did the pc6 point and i could feel the mind much clearer and the nausea going away.

Definitely it was an unique sensation and my mind only pointed to the thought “oh. i which so much to be just a little as good as Yanagishitasensei in my future practice. Maybe i won’t, but i’ll try to work for that”.

My respect and admiration are tremendous for Yanaghishitasensei. I feel I have been very lucky to have the opportunity to met him, a truly great master. What i think is that the minimum that we can do is to practice and try to give and develop our best, as a reverence and memory to him and his fantastic work and dedication.
