Raising the Atsumi Ki and Transcending the Emotional Body at
the Atsumi Healing Center in Phuket Thailand.

“Part of the new conscious that emerged by awakening individuals at the turn of the century, is the recognition of the pertinent and urgent task for each person to look-listen-and-feel within them selves, and to develop the ability to recognize the differences between Reactive Emotional Feelings and the inherent naturally Responsive Feelings of Love. Learning to develop our ability to discern between the two and to choose our inner reality is what the art of living is all about.”

Meditation, Yoga, Fasting and Detoxing, ThaiAtsu Bodywork, Ki Kung and NLP. These are but a few of the strategies that are employed at the Atsumi Healing Center in Phuket in order to “Transcend Emotional Reactions and become the Love that we already are” says Mr. John the Founder of Atsumi Healing and director of the center. At 57, Mr. John, author, musician, teacher and healer is a veteran of the Natural Healing and Personal Growth arena. While staying at the center and enjoying a 7-day fasting program, Andang Gunawan interviewed Mr. John. “What exactly is Atsumi Healing?”
The path of Atsumi Healing, is a way of ‘Being’ that embraces Unconditional Love and Acceptance as a way to liberation from all Emotional suffering.

   
 
   

“Sounds deep, can you tell me more?”
Yes, it sounds deep and complicated at first but it’s really very simple and once you understand it then everything else becomes also understandable. Atsumi Healing is a Spiritually based Body Psychology that re-defines the differences between the concepts of “Love” and “Emotion.” It provides us with a clear, tangible map, or template, which we can use to move away from Emotional Reactions and thus suffering and towards the Enlightened state of Being.

“What exactly do you mean by Emotional Reaction and suffering?”
The word Emotion, must be one of the most misused and misunderstood words in our language. As defined by Eckhart Tolle in his book “The Power of Now,” it comes from the Latin word ‘emovere’, which means, to disturb. So Emotion is that aspect of our “Feeling World” that is disturbed. To be Emotional, have Emotions, or emote is to experience our Natural Feelings of Love as a disturbed and uncontrollable Reaction to our life’s circumstances.
 
   
 
 

“So all Feelings that are not disturbed and Reactive you say are Love?”
Yes that’s right, Atsumi Healing defines these undisturbed Responses to the circumstances of our lives as Feelings of Love, pure undisturbed Unconditional Love, this is our natural state of being. And from these Feelings of Love come behaviors of Love, which in turn generate more Feelings of Love and so on. So Atsumi Healing is not just about getting healthy or fixing a disease. That may well happen in the process of fasting, studying, meditating and being at the center, but it’s not just a case of restoring only ones physical health. Think about it like getting wealthy, getting wealthy, is really very easy if you know what to do and are willing to put the time into it. But then the world is full of wealthy, healthy people who are Spiritually disconnected and are miserable. Fasting has always had a Spiritual component to it.

When people stay with us, fast and detoxify and begin to practice the strategies, then their Cholesterol level drops, along with excess fat and body weight. Skin disorders clear up, arthritis and prostrate problems disappear and any amount of diss-eases disappear. But the real goal here is to discover ongoing strategies that can assist with the Human Condition and the healing of the Emotional Body, that most likely has been the cause of these physical imbalances.

There are many Natural healing strategies and methods for manifestation that work, so just like getting what you want in life is do able, health and wealth are not really much of a challenge. The real challenge is Accepting and staying in Love with what you have manifested in your life including your health and then making the changes that you want without dropping into Emotional Reaction, that’s the real challenge.

 
 
 
 

“What do you mean by, the Human Condition?”
It is a condition of suffering, sickness, unrest, unhappiness and discontent. Always wanting more, or different. Never totally here in the moment, always in the future or the past always critical and dissatisfied with “what is” and “what we have.” Rather than sitting in Contentment and Gratitude and living in Acceptance with what you have created. Rather than living in the circle of Love with the “Five Characteristics of Unconditional Love” which are Motivation, Gratitude, Compassion, Adaptability and Tranquility, we are more likely to be Feeling Emotional Reactions like envy, resentment, anger, worry, guilt, depression and fear.

“But I thought that we are supposed to feel and express our emotions and not to suppress them?”
That’s exactly right. Once you find yourself in the grip of Emotion, any Emotion then rather than suppress it, it is better to Feel it and without dumping it on others or doing harm to yourself express it totally. But with ongoing awareness of your subtle Emotional messages from your body and continued Spiritual practice or the transcendence of the control that your mind has over you, you will find that you don’t need to go into Emotion in the first place. You develop the art of “Staying in the Circle of Love”

 
   
   
 

“It sounds so simple but it’s not really as easy as you make it sound is it?”
That’s also right, simple but not easy. We have the challenge of our Emotional bodies to deal with, that we have inherited through our DNA and our social conditioning. That’s why we need so many different strategies for transformation. Atsumi Healing encompasses and embraces Meditation, Yoga, Fasting and Detoxing, Shiatsu and ThaiAtsu Bodywork, Acupuncture, Breath work and Emotional Release Creative Visualization, Affirmation, Hypnosis and the strategies that are encompassed within the discipline of NLP. They all work, as a way of transforming the Emotional body and creating a reunion with that which has never been conditioned and never dies. We want to create a reunion with Existence, with all that is, a reunion with Unconditional Love.

“It sounds like you cover a lot of ground?”
Yes we do, but we really have only one objective, which is to “Go forth in Love”. In essence Atsumi uses “anything that works” to liberate us from the tyranny of Emotional Reactions and Feelings and deliver us to the Feelings and behavior experiences of Unconditional Love.

   
 
   
 

Well if Atsumi Healing is a thing that you do, is it possible to become an
“ Atsumi Healing Practitioner”?

Yes in addition to the philosophical concepts there is an aspect to Atsumi Healing that is about hands on Spiritual Healing and the giving or sharing of Atsumi-Ki. This is a specific form of Healing Energy that is created by Fasting and Detoxing the Body/Mind and practicing a one-hr or longer, daily ritual of Self-Shiatsu, Ki Kung, Yoga postures and Meditation every day. Then we also teach the body - work which is called ThaiAtsu.

“Can you tell us more about this ‘Inner Feeling World’ that you spoke of ?”
Our inner Feeling world consists of Feelings that are pure and natural and “undisturbed.” Feelings like Compassion, Joy, Gratitude, Tranquility, Enthusiasm, etc. and for most of us, usually also and simultaneously mind created Emotional Feelings, or Emotional Reactions, which are Feelings that are disturbed. Emotional Reactions are Feelings like fear, anger, guilt, greed, envy, sloth, apathy, worry etc.
You can see without too much reflection that Emotional Feelings are driven by a concept of mind, a belief, or value, or attitude, or criticism, or judgment or any thought that is other than one of Acceptance. Therefore if we can discover the mind driven concept that is creating the Emotion or disturbed Feeling, then we can transform it and thus prevent Emotion from ever being created. Thus without these thought forms that disturb our Feelings we can live our lives as an experience of ongoing pure Unconditional Love, Joy and Bliss which is our natural state of being. But we must be gentle and kind, with ourselves and others and remember, that there really is nothing to achieve in the usual sense. We must realize that that “the path is the goal.” And that Unconditional Love is what we already are.
