Dr. Sasada, the major trainer of this JMMT project, has modified it for global use by combining other overse a methods, e.g., Chinese, Thai, and western scientific approaches. The followi ng five principles are specialty of the JMMT. 1. Mind-Body Unity The mind controls body, and the body also controls mind and this is the human nature. How to control the mind by the body is the important issue. The therap y approach is done not only by the analytic way, but also approach by the holi stic way, in another words, focusing on both microscopic approach and macrosco pic approach, or medical scientific way and traditional complementary medicine way. The mind position as the therapist is also the most important and it is done by following three methods.: A. Good breathing; Chakra/Dantian Breathing, deep abdominal breathing. B. Good posture; Focusing body structure and keep good allignment of the spine . C. Relaxation of core muscles; For obtaining methods good breathing and postur e, relaxation of core muscles is important. 2. Developping Talking-Hands This method is especially designed for the blind therapist. The therapist's co ncentrates with his/her hands to communicate with the client's body to adjust for the best effective therapy in dosage, direction, techniques, etc. Developi ng Talking-Hands means developing healing power. One of the specific methods i s called "Search-antenna" which is effective to select definite distal points to giving pressure. One hand touch on painful region, another hand search dist al region as the transmitter according to meridian theory or kinematic chain. 3. Adaptive Symptoms The JMMT covers various chronic and acute discomforts such as pain, fatigue, n umbness, and other discomfort symptoms.
