Kototama + Medicine
Kototama Inochi Medicine is a style of traditional Japanese meridian therapy that originated through the work of Masahilo. Nakazono, Osensei. Through his years of study, practice, and teaching of Aikido, natural medicine, and the Kototama principle, Nakazono Osensei created a unique and very powerful form of medicine. Combining his studies with legendary teachers such as Ueshiba Osensei, Sakai Sensei, Osawa Sensei, and Ogasawara Sensei, he integrated his studies & experience to create a form of medicine that combines traditions of Japanese acupuncture & bodywork, traditional Japanese pulse diagnosis, and the principles of the Kototama.
The result is a medicine that is rich in tradition and the authenticity of centuries of experience, and at the same time rooted entirely in the present, and geared toward the future evolution of humankind relative to the Kototama principle. Kototama Inochi Medicine is based on disciplined pulse diagnosis, and involves a highly practical application of traditional Japanese bodywork modalities, and Japanese needle work & moxibustion, among other treatment modalities.
It integrates the Kototama principle into the diagnostic & treatment formats, offering a unique perspective & approach towards every condition, organizing the treatment around the life principle of Kototama. There is no other form of medicine that does this – it is unique and extraordinarily powerful. The clinical relevance and effectiveness of this medicine are unparalleled. Nakazono Osensei built this medicine and offered it to the future through his school, the Kototama Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
My Teacher
I was extremely fortunate to be able to study at the Kototama Institute during the short period of time it was open – I attended the basic two-year training program, and a few years later completed my basic studies in Kototama Inochi Medicine with Dr. Thomas Duckworth, Doctor of Kototama Medicine. Dr. Duckworth was an instructor at the Kototama Institute when I attended, and he completed an intensive 10-year study directly with Nakazono, Osensei, earning his doctorate and contributing substantively to the furtherance & development of the medicine.
Dr. Duckworth took me in as a student and offered me a unique opportunity to study & practice with him, and it’s through his dedication and work that I really evolved and grew with this form of medicine. Dr. Duckworth taught me not just how to practice this medicine and apply it clinically, but also how to live it, and how to carry it forward.
Onward
Through my decades long study & practice of Kototama Inochi Medicine, I am dedicated to the preservation and growth of this unique form of medicine. I invite anyone interested or curious about this phenomenal form of health care to contact me and come in for treatment, and/or enter the conversation. From time to time, I also offer the practice of Kototama Sound Meditation through my office, always free, all are welcome to study & practice.
