Hawayo Takata’s Foundation Treatment

Hawayo Takata simplified the Usui system and developed her own hand position system, which she called the foundation treatment.

This consisted of eight hand positions, which were on: the abdomen, the shoulders and head.

– Four basic positions for the torso.

– Three positions for the head.

– No positions over the heart or on the back, which were optional.

– Additional positions for the back if the client would be included, if needed.

TORSO

First sequence of four placements of both hands that cover:

– Liver

– Gall bladder

– Stomach

– Pancreas

– Spleen

– Transverse Colon

– Small intestine

– Reproductive system

– Ascending and descending colon

– Bladder

HEAD

– Three hand positions for the head, also treating the back of the head in some cases.
