It was a lecture on the theme of “Healing power in the body”.Mr. Nomura lives near Mt. Akagi in Gunma Prefecture.It is said that only about XNUMX% of the human body is used, and that there is a mechanism to use the remaining XNUMX% to become healthy. “After the nuclear accident, there are many mothers who are hypersensitive and anxious, but anxiety and stress stiffen their spines, and negative thoughts weaken their immune system.” Instead of pretending to be insensitive, it is important to develop an unwavering “central sense” that does not give up, does not fear, and does not waver.For example, when the baby takes off the diaper, the flexible movements and the free appearance of the cat slumping around... Innocent movements emitted from the inside of the body (Katsugen movement) help to prepare the body. movement that is essential for “I tend to consciously try to correct my posture, but that doesn’t mean that I have completely fixed my posture.” , It seems that pregnancy and childbirth will also make you feel very happy.Using the assistant, Mr. Toyama, as a model, we practiced "sitting with the correct posture."Please tell me the position of the lumbar spine. 
Sit so that your sitting bones rest on your heels. 
All the participants are curious.The next candidate will be the model. 
When you sit down while relaxing your body, the movement of Katsugen movement comes out naturally.This time, everyone will check the position of the sit bones and practice. 
Relax and loosen your body as if floating on water.Let me see how you sit. 
People who came from Chiba and attended Nomura's chiropractic school also helped with the practical training. 
By the end of the Q&A corner, everyone's spines were straight. 
After the lecture, I had the opportunity to talk with him for a while in the waiting room. He said, “This event is amazing.Nobuko Shimabukuro from the afternoon after a lunch break.She told me that there was a hospital in Shitennoji Temple when it was built, and she said, "It would be nice to have a maternity hospital in a wonderful place like this temple grounds." 
Ms. Shimabukuro is the assistant director of Yoshimura Clinic, which practices “natural childbirth,” and is in charge of parenting classes.The theme is "deepening women".The most important thing in modern education is being overlooked, which is the control of life and the body. It is something that has been treated as something precious."Then, using slides, he introduced the efforts at Yoshimura Clinic. 
“Birth is like the rising sun.” Professor Yoshimura said that people shouldn't add extra work.Mr. Yoshimura's hobby is antiques, and it seems that he rebuilt an old private house on the site.Edo period life as it was in the Edo period.Today, the old private house is open to the public, and pregnant women who go to the clinic willingly experience physical labor in the Edo period. 
``Don't be frightened, don't be afraid,'' and ``just eat a little of the old stuff.'' (by Mr. Yoshimura) Splitting maki, setting fire to the furnace, cooking, cleaning, and eating one soup and one dish.The faces of the pregnant women on the slide were shining before and after giving birth.Also, my husband's expression of joy was very impressive. 
"Rejoice in a woman, rejoice in a pregnancy, and accept things as they are. These are the most important things for both the mother and the baby to live happily." Thank you.Thank you very much to everyone in the executive committee of the event and everyone in the mom cafeteria.
