Purple MomentPurple MomentIt was morning on my 4th birthday. I was still sleepy in the bed, and was sure I had just seen an angel. Maybe she came to wish me a happy birthday. Although later in my life I choosed technical field, the soft, gentle and caring side of life has been important to me throughout the years.
In my youth, I studied a degree in technical field, and after that worked hard as a researcher, teacher and study advisor. I also had small kids, and life was busy. Exhausting, to be honest. I burned out. I realized I needed to find new ways to support my well-being. Shindo offered a great opportunity for this: while doing the exercises, for the first time, I experienced a total relaxation throughout the body and mind. Since that, Shindo exercises have provided me a safe space to face and let go of the pain-points in the body and mind. After 2010, I first trained myself to be a Shindo instructor, which allows one to lead Shindo relax-stretching groups. After this, I continued on to Shindo’s advanced course and Shindo trainer course. Shindo proved to be a method suitable for anyone. For example, I have had versatile customers including elderly and disadvantaged people. I have also studied one year curriculum acupuncture basics (2019) and ear acupuncture (2019). These methods have provided me a varied lovely ways for taking care of myself and others.
With love, Mirja
