Do-In is an ancient traditional exercise for the cultivation of physical health, mental serenity, and spirituality. Over the last 5,000 years, it has served as the origin of such well-known modalities as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation. Literally meaning to pull and stretch, Do-In originated in the Tao of Shin Sen as a way of achieving longevity and attaining the highest potential of mental and spiritual development. Do-In offers release from physical sickness, mental frustration and confusion, and intellectual and social disharmony.

Do-In techniques are a series of successive motions designed to harmonize body systems. The Do-In Way details the fundamental aspects of the exercise, which involves breathing, posture, and self-massage and manipulation to stimulate bodily systems. The gentle application of pressure on the body's meridians corresponds directly with physical processes, and allows for the conditioning and stimulation of internal organs. Do-In is a simple, gentle exercise for achieving oneness between the self and the external world, and for integrating that harmony into physical and spiritual nature.

The Do-In Way is a comprehensive handbook to this basic, primal form of exercise--the ancient system of movement designed to gently and safely enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health.
