Dear Colleagues
Those of you who read Positive Health on Line www.positivehealth.com will know from the articles we have published recently that Waveform has continued to develop, and remains at the cutting edge of energetic excellence. The foundations of the skills such as those demonstrated in these articles are to be found in Waveform part A. In only 4 days you can make a huge experiential leap in energetic ability and perception.
Training in 2010
As life continues to move forward and the summer is advancing steadily on, a reminder that the 2010 Waveform Energy Course will be taking place over October 13/14 and 16/17 in Scotland and is the only Waveform workshop for non-Graduates this year. If you have completed Waveform 1, and not Waveform 2 we recommend that you apply for the whole of Waveform part A as this workshop includes both Waveform 1 and 2, and the structure of the workshop has developed considerably over the last 2 years.. Travel and Accommodation. Travelling north by air is quick, appx 1-1/4 hours from almost any airport in the UK, and flights can be very cheap if booked in advance. As we know a number of very reasonably priced B&Bs we have used regularly for several years now, we can assist you in finding suitable accommodation during your stay at Loch Lomond. Waveform at European Shiatsu Congress - Switzerland 2011
As the heading says, I have been invited to the
2011 European Shiatsu Congress as a guest teacher on the topic of 'What
is energetic awareness, how can one learn it and how can it be taught?' I will
be involved in a panel discussion for the delegates, who will consist
of students, practitioners and teachers from across Europe and I will
also be providing a short workshop on the topic (2-3 hours). I was
privileged to be invited as guest teacher to the last ES Congress which was
held in 2007, and I look forward very much to once again working alongside
some of Europe's foremost Shiatsu Teachers. Details of the Congress have not
been released yet so if you are interested in attending, please keep checking
our website for information as this will be posted as soon as we receive it.
An ACPEM member, who is also a fully qualified Physio and Shiatsu Practitioner asked me several years ago, and towards the end of her Waveform part A course, "Why is it that this degree and depth of energy work is not taught at the beginning, or in fact anywhere in Shiatsu training?" I can now reply that, in Europe at least this serious omission is now being recognised and steps are being taken to rectify the situation.
Waveform is about direct experience of
energy. We do not just talk about it; we perceive it, we access it, we work
with it and we push the boundaries of experience.
Join us now.

Webster’s RV day for journalists in Grant – The Sun: Lisa – Real.com: 22nd October 2009 10th October 2009 Hi Mike Thank you for a brilliant weekend.
Please convey my thanks to Joe and Ray too. You make a wonderful
team. It was another weekend of self-discovery and I came home from Scotland
determined to keep in mind the lessons I had learnt. Looking forward
to hearing about the next Graduate workshop. Love and thanks to you both. Jacqui Dear Mike The workshop opened up my mind for other
ways of using Waveform. I know there are a lot of possibilities, and still had
used Wvf "only" for therapy purposes in Shiatsu and homeopathy for a
long time. The emphasis on working with emotional resonance was great. I had
neglected emotional resonance a bit, just noticing it without making something
out of it. Erici HI Mike Many thanks to You, Stella, Joe & Ray for an
engaging and sometimes enthralling workshop – it was so good I’m almost
reconciled to being at Glasgow Airport and not the Oval when England won back
the Ashes! I said in my previous e-mail that I was hoping to
be surprised and taken in unexpected directions and that hope was
fulfilled! Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop and
week-end away. Martin Hi Mike and Stella I hope you are both well, and thanks again for
such a fantastic course, wonderful hospitality and delicious food as always. Miriam
Waveform - The great leap forward Waveform training workshops will recommence
November 2009.
7th October Hi Mike Sorry I have taken so long to reply-- I took a
couple of weeks off R&R and have been playing catch up ever since. 21st September 2008
End of an era as Waveform evolves! Although basic training in Waveform will be
suspended for the foreseeable future, the Waveform team will be concentrating on
developing our research programme. We will also be providing training
opportunities for Waveform Graduates so that they can continue to expand and
develop their energetic skills. Workshops for graduates will be held annually.
Dear Colleagues
After careful consideration, I have sent a letter to Kim Laverly, Chief Executive of the Princes Foundation advising her that the IAWE is withdrawing its members from the Shiatsu Regulatory Group.
I canvassed my members directly for their vote
for, or against Regulation. My members had been advised of the SRG website and
its contents earlier in the year, and I included information that I
considered to be of importance to our organisation. I wonder how many
other SRG organisations canvassed their members directly and individually on
this subject?
Our members voted No to regulation.
It had been the intention of the IAWE to support the overall decision of the SRG, but I found myself on the receiving end of accusations of providing selective and misleading information to the IAWE members, information that was also inaccurate, insulting, offensive, irrelevent, wrong and unjustifyable, and I was also accused of breaching the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the SRG.
In the absence of any evidence to support these
claims, or an apology, I have decided that the SRG is not an environment
that I want to continue to work in.
The membership of the SRG seems to have difficulty
in answering simple questions such as, why, when the agreement over the
definition of Shiatsu which would remain in force for a year, was it once
again being revisited by the new Shiatsu Society Rep and the Schools
forum after only six months had passed?
As one of our members commented, on returning her vote of NO! to regulation. "Entering into a relationship where information and communication is so poor when tricky questions are asked is not beneficial in the long run". This has, regretably been my experience of the SRG when even simple questions have been asked.
That our membership has voted NO to
regulation, and no-one is prepared to represent us at the SRG
meetings confirms for me that the choice of leaving the SRG is the right one
for the members of the IAWE.
We wish you luck in the changing face of Regulation. With best wishes
Mike

Regulation for Shiatsu - Decision time
Dear Colleague
On the 19th May in London, a decision will be
made at a meeting of the Shiatsu Regulatory Group in London, as to
whether the organisations involved wish to move forward with the voluntary
Regulation of Shiatsu.
I have prepared a document for Shiatsu practitioners outlining what I see to be the pros and cons of Regulation and also an invitation for you to provide us with your vote, Yes or No. Regulation for Shiatsu?- Your opinion is requested I apologise for the length of the document
however I want you to have the facts before you make a decision. 16th April 2008 New Developments within the Waveform Course
Dear Colleague
For those of you that are considering applying for a place on Waveform 1 and 2 workshops in 2008, there have been some developments in the content of the Waveform 2 workshop. We have added another dimension to the Waveform 2 course. Waveform participants will be trained to access the information that lies within the subconscious mind but is not readily available on a conscious level. This skill can be applied in many situations, for example, in business, within the client/therapist relationship, Interviewing new employees. There are fewer mistakes and misunderstandings when there is clarity of information. The subconscious mind reveals the truth within all aspects of life.
The technique was successfully applied by
Remote Viewers who had been trained in Waveform, and were contracted to
locate a missing girl in the USA in 2006. This skill has also been
successfully used in conducting business transactions, and by Private Investigators.
Participants on the Waveform 2 course will have
ample opportunity to practice the application of this skill, as well as the
other practical aspects of Waveform 2 which remain unchanged.

The Shiatsu Regulatory Group website has been
updated and expanded, with more to follow. The News page has an overview of
the new stuff. Please Add to Favourites/bookmark www.shiatsuregulatorygroup.org
It is worth looking in 'Documents' and then Frequently Asked Questions. What is considered to be appropriate CPD has not yet been discussed and agreed, and please note my concerns which are listed in the 'Working Papers' - Mike Webster

Regulation and Shiatsu Organisations
After yet another phone call, (most of them
from non-Waveform people) asking questions about regulation, and how it
will effect them as shiatsu practitioners and the organisations they belong
to; here is a general reply to anyone interested in some answers. Q) What does the Shiatsu Regulatory
Group (SRG) consist of? A number of these are Shiatsu organisations
such as, BSKA, International Association of Waveform Energetics (Waveform),
International Shiatsu Association, Shiatsu International, Shiatsu Society, Zen
Shiatsu, and a number of multi-disciplinary organisations. Q) What is the purpose of Regulation? Q) What is the Purpose of the SRG Q) I am a graduate of the Shiatsu
Society and I have been advised that if I do not apply to take my MRSS within
a certain period of time I will be ‘demoted’ to an associate member of the
Society. How will this effect my qualifications in the eyes of the Regulator. At present all Shiatsu Organisations have
accepted each other as equals in qualification, and this should continue after
Regulation with agreed standards. From the Minutes of the SRG meeting
September 12th 2007. At this stage in the process
no one is regulating the shiatsu profession. No one can say any
organisation\course is better than any other course. “The SRG supports the
principle, in the absence of a regulator, that all organisations\courses are
equal. Practitioners will now have greater choice of
organisations to belong to. Organisations therefore will have to work harder
to provide a service for their members which will justify the fees they
charge for membership; as qualification by the regulator will, (at long last)
be judged by standards, and will not give a hoot which organisation you
trained with, or what the letters are after your name. Q) How will practitioners in
multi-disciplinary organisations be effected by regulation? Mike Webster
Dear Colleague We are pleased to announce that the long awaited
mark 2 device was complete enough to carry out some preliminary testing in
Scotland last week. We went into testing with an open mind and not many plans - what would we find? We found that the human being is a mass of both
positive and also negative fields of both greater and lesser magnitude. Tested against Waveform, i.e does the machine
register anything similar to what is found through Waveform? There is a great deal more testing to be done over the coming months, with a strict programme of specific testing planned that will, hopefully, generate some "interesting" results, however we hope to have some interim results in the next 2 weeks. We will keep you informed. With best wishes Mike and Stella
March 14th 2007 We are pleased to announce that a Waveform 1 and 2 intensive has been arranged for Staverton, Devon. The dates for the workshops are – Waveform 1 May 2/3 and Waveform 2 May 5/6. The linked application forms contain information regarding dates, venue, costs and the outcomes of each workshop, however please contact us directly if you require any more information.

4 Day Spring Intensive in Scotland 29th January 2007 Creating the most effective treatment for clients is the aim of all good practitioners. Over the last ten years, our team at Waveform Energetics has strived continuously to increase our knowledge, our direct experience of working with energy and the effectiveness of our therapeutic skills. During 2006, Waveform made
great strides in the field of energy work, even taking on the Holy Grail of
energy work; investigating the substance of Ki or Chi. The early results of our
science team’s research have been both positive and exciting, and we are
hoping to have the opportunity to present our findings at the International
Congress on Complementary Medicine Research, to be held in Munich in May 2007. We have established that the
human body clearly indicates where to treat the body/mind for greatest effect.
The direct personal experience of energetic change through Waveform detects
these signals that show you exactly where to work, making treatment simplicity
itself. The very first testing ground
for Waveform was with shiatsu. The initial results of shiatsu treatment
using Waveform were well beyond expectation, and in 2007 with almost eleven
years of continuous development behind us we are providing Waveform courses
designed specifically for practitioners and teachers of Shiatsu and Acupuncture. Please click on links for an overview of the workshop outcomes. Wishing you contentment and success in 2007. We look forward to hearing from
you. Mike and Stella Webster
The IAWE has been in existence
for almost twelve months now, and we can look back on a year of accomplishment
and rapid development. As Waveform and the IAWE
received so many requests for support from people across the world in 2006, we
have now made the skill of Energetic Fingerprinting part of Waveform 3.
This will increase energetic awareness even more at Certificate level, and help
us to provide more highly skilled practitioners to assist us with emergencies,
such the Waveform ‘Alerts’ that we receive. Courses and Workshops in 2007 Waveform has diverse
applications in life and work, therefore we will be providing specialist
workshops for specific therapies and situations e.g. ‘Waveform for Shiatsu’,
‘Waveform for life and living’ etc. It is important that the basic
‘hands on’ application of Waveform remains a major part of the course and it
is this area of expertise that is essential for Graduate Certification. Research – Substance, not
just statistics! Over the last seven months the
Waveform research group has moved on, at least in line with world leaders, in
its search for the substance of energy used by therapists and healers.
IAWE, the Organisation for specialists in energy work
What membership of the IAWE offers you Membership of a specialist, non-political
organisation for therapists and non-therapists Waveform in 2007 Establishing Waveform internationally as the
‘gold standard’ for energy work, and the IAWE as the ‘Energy’ specialist
organisation.
Have a wonderful Christmas; and a New Year full of promise for the future. With very best wishes Mike and Stella
“The main reason for this event is to
strengthen and support the development towards a professional Shiatsu in Europe.
A Shiatsu that clearly goes beyond Wellness and sees its therapeutic potential.

----------------------------------------------- 6th September 2006
The question 'How does Waveform work?' has been
asked of me more times than I can count, however it has been easier to tell
people who enquire, what Waveform has been successfully used for, and
continues to be successfully used for .
We know by the results that we get that Waveform provides access to another dimension of functioning, where the practitioner can access information, and create changes, even across time and distance. How Waveform works however, is the $64,000 question and my feeling is that the answer this question will probably also explain much of what is considered to be outside the range of normal human experience, including the energy work of complementary medicine and even some aspects of Remote viewing. Apart from the results of some of my own investigations which are included in the basic Waveform Course and further training, a group of martial artist graduates of Waveform wanted to explore the Waveform potential for improving performance, understanding and training within martial arts; also to find the real meaning of many of the statements and claims made by some of the great Martial Arts Teachers such as Ueshiba the founder of Aikido.
To provide an example of this - Morihei Ueshiba
(founder of Aikido) said “ If a man thinks of attacking me, his Ki proceeds
his action”.
We now not only know, but have experienced what Ueshiba meant.
MA
workshop September 2006 is a report of the findings of the second
meeting of the martial arts group, which is starting to answer the question,
'How does Waveform work?' it is also adding more to answers to the question,
"What can Waveform do, and add to my quality of life?".
This MA workshop was filmed, and it is hoped
that a DVD which shows our martial artists demonstrating what Waveform
can do, will be ready for showing to participants of the Waveform 1 workshop
at Holycombe
September 23/24.

Dear Mike and Stella,
Firstly some really good news about Gwen who has
had cancer for three years now .She has had the all clear which is absolutely
wonderful!!!! Thank you to all on the team.
23rd August 2006
My daughter had a riding accident on 21st May when
her horse reared and fell back on top of her. She was taken to hospital
where it was discovered she had broken her pelvis in five places; a nasty
injury at the best of times, but she was due to be married on 19th August in
Ireland and desperately wanted to be able to walk down the aisle.
For the first couple of days she was in a lot of pain but the painkillers made
her extremely sick.
Having attended a Part I course at Holycombe some
months before, I called on the help of Waveform as I had read how other
alerts had helped people and was told that two recent graduates would be
helping her if I just sent in a photograph. The first report highlighted
her pelvic area but also her knee as having a problem. When I went into
the hospital the next day I asked if she had had pain in that knee and she
wondered how I knew. She had not complained although it had been
painful enough to keep her awake but she said it had suddenly got better.
She had to spend a month in hospital on her back
without getting out of bed and a further month on complete bed rest at home.
During this time one of her Waveform helpers correctly noted and helped her
backache and a bad spell of asthma (neither of which had been mentioned). When
the consultant saw her Xrays which were taken one month after the accident, he
thought they must have been two months afterwards due to the rate of healing
shown.
She was meant to then have a further month of
using a wheelchair and then gradual weight bearing and we were told she
would probably be on crutches for the wedding. However, she very quickly
tossed the crutches aside and began walking normally and, five days before the
wedding she had her final Xray. The consultant was amazed that she was walking
unaided and that she had more flexibility and movement in her hip joints than
he did!
The happy ending to the story is that the wedding
was wonderful and she not only walked down the aisle but managed to enjoy the
entire day and danced until 3.00 a.m.!
Thank you Waveform.

Moving
beyond the physical in Martial Arts During
a recent Waveform 3 workshop, Ray Pawlett (Waveform Assistant Teacher and
Tai Chi Instructor), suggested and organised a series of exercises
involving Martial
Arts and Waveform. These exercises produced results that were so exciting
it was decided to bring together a group of experienced Dan graded practitioners
and teachers from a range of different martial arts who were already graduates
in Waveform, to explore in depth how Waveform could be used to improve
performance in the Martial Arts. The email that was sent out has suggested some improprieties by the IAWE
and also Zen Shiatsu. We have been careful to provide on our website, only information that can
be corroborated either through correspondence with MC members, information from
letters from the ASA, and information from the CAP website; however despite
this, we have been accused of providing ‘misinformation’. With best wishes Mike Webster

Yesterdays email to the members of the Shiatsu
Society insinuated that we are sending unsolicited mail to members of the

case. We will be replying to this statement in full over the next few
days. 3rd March 2006 There has been a further exchange of
communications with the Shiatsu Society on the subject of the ASA, if you would

The ASA again Just in case anyone feels that the ASA can be
ignored and will go away. Challenge to adverts on Chinese Medicine - By
Nick Fleming - Medical Correspondent. A leaflet that claimed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was safer than mainstream treatment was misleading and potentially dangerous, an advertising watchdog ruled yesterday. The Advertising Standards Authority upheld a
compliant against Everwell Ltd, a company that runs several TCM clinics, warning
that its unsubstantiated claims could discourage readers from seeking essential
treatment for serious medical conditions. Everwell’s leaflet was found to have breeched
eight sections of the Committee of Advertising Practices, including those
covering honesty and scientific substantiation. We are pleased to confirm that we have agreed an insurance package with Balens for our members in the UK. For those non-therapists that may feel happier having insurance cover when using Waveform in this litigation climate, there is excellent comprehensive cover at £65 for the year, however this is not a requirement of membership. Insurance for qualified Therapists, Teachers
and Students in training. Your Insurance premium goes directly to Balens
and is provided through us as a service for our members. This hyperlink will take you to recent information about the Advertising Standards Authority and the Committee of Advertising Practice, and how this effects us all. 'This is
the ASA - Come out with your Hands up!' 13/12/05 This information is in response to a
telephone call I received. Qu Answer. Question. Answer. Here is an excerpt: “We note that you do not accept that you should
only advertise Shiatsu as a ‘relaxation therapy’ in the future. (We were
advised by the ASA that we had to do so in an earlier letter)…In a
previous letter we referred you to CAP clause 3.1 which requires marketers to
hold documentary evidence to prove all claims that are capable of objective
substantiation. We should be happy to consider any peer-reviewed articles
detailing the use of shiatsu in the treatment of medical conditions. Were such evidence to be submitted to the CAP Copy advice team with any future advertising which make specific claims about the use of shiatsu treatment, our position may change, (specific scientific proof) Until that time we are likely to take up any complaints made against advertising which makes claims for shiatsu therapy that go beyond relaxation”. (My italics) And here is
how the ASA sees Shiatsu. Shiatsu - Description Regulation Suitably “qualified” for serious
conditions? Acceptable minor and serious conditions? I realise that this information is not not very Best wishes Mike 14/12/05 - From Mike Webster. I have found another reference from the ASA advising the Shiatsu Society, that shiatsu is to be only for relaxation. Extract from a letter to the Shiatsu Society from Konrad Obiora, Investigations Executive, Advertising Standards Association, dated June 29th 2005. "We propose that you do the following to bring your advertising into line with the code: 1) Make no direct or implied medical claims in future advertising and 2) Ensure that future advertising promotes Shiatsu Therapy only as an effective means of relaxation and improving state of mind" Are there any more Questions?
