Shiatsu

I embarked on this journey because I struggled with everyday communication and talking to people, which is why I never had many friends. I was also unable, for example, to give presentations or speak in front of a large group, which limited me especially at school. 

To be honest, I didn't expect much from The Journey at first, but I decided to give it a try. 

I can't say that I've suddenly become a particularly outgoing or talkative person, but I've noticed a huge change. I feel much more confident in this area; I’ve finally made friends at school, and I don’t start panicking every time a stranger speaks to me. I’m so relieved that this fear of mine no longer limits me so much in life. 

At first, I didn’t know what I wanted to focus on physically. I entered the process feeling stressed, with pressure in my chest, pain in my side, and a general ache as if I were carrying a heavy boulder. Gradually, themes of fear—that I wasn’t good enough and a fear of pain—began to surface within me. During the process, I felt something inside me relax, and a greater sense of peace set in.
After about a month, I noticed a significant change. I began to live at a slower pace, more calmly, and with greater perspective. I also felt that my body was stronger and healthier. The pain in my side, which I had associated with my kidney and high blood pressure, was no longer present.
Another very powerful moment for me was a memory of my brother, which brought me to tears, gave me relief, and offered a new perspective on the past.
Above all, the entire process brought me a great sense of relief, peace, and inner relaxation. I definitely recommend it.

Before The Journey, I didn't really have anything major I needed to figure out. I just wanted to give it a try, and I was curious to see what it would actually bring me. I didn’t go into it with any major theme or expectations; I just let things take their course and was open to whatever came my way.

More than anything, The Journey gave me the chance to stop and reflect. In everyday life, you’re always rushing around, dealing with work, results, and everything else, but you don’t really take the time to think about yourself. Here, I had the space to reflect on what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and what’s more important in life. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to take a moment to look back on what they’ve been through and, at the same time, get a clearer sense of where to go from here.
