Bekind to yourself - Shiatsu Massage
Our friends at Shiatsu College Dublin teamed up with Bekind
for a very special event on
Sunday 4 July 2021. Shiatsu College Dublin's third years ran a shiatsu clinic all proceeds going to Bekind. Thanks to the wonderful support of all those ho attended on the day, Shiatsu College Dublin raised an amazing €400
for Bekind!
What is shiatsu?
Shiatsu is often described as acupuncture with out the needles but it is so much more than that. Shiatsu is given through loose clothing in order for the body to feel comfortable and more easily relaxed.
Shiatsu simply is.Its touch is light and full of strength.Shiatsu moves us to find stillness.It stretches us to balance andsupports us into supple movement.Shiatsu grounds us so the mind may rest.It opens us wide sometimes so we know safety deep within.Shiatsu listens and supports.Shiatsu meets us, always.

Happy birthday Bekind Boys' Home
The saying “ absence makes the heart grow fonder ” has been uppermost in my mind over the past months. My regular Zoom or WhatsApp calls with the children in Kolkata are a help but almost two years have passed since being with them in person. I am amused by the deeper voices of some of the children as they enter their teenage years. The voices and the bodies change and a request for six new bunk beds was a reminder of how much the boys are growing. A very generous donation from a local person came just at the right time to cover the costs.
