The long way around: How I realized what it truly means to condition the body
Nice to meet you. I am Sayaka, a body balance consultant.
Currently, while honing my skills under my mentor in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo—where there is said to be a five-year waiting list—I operate a private salon in Shibuya, Tokyo, limited to three clients per month.
Rather than seeking a "temporary feeling of refreshment," I specialize in helping women in their 40s and beyond "condition the body from its structure," rebuilding the body you will live with for the rest of your life from the ground up.
While I guide my clients without hesitation now, I actually took a mind-numbingly "long way around" before encountering my current theory.
1. What lay beyond the despair of "no matter how hard I try, nothing changes"
In the past, like many other women, I was someone swayed by the overflow of beauty information. I went to the gym, trained harder than anyone else, and believed without a doubt that "if you put in the effort, you will definitely change."
However, the reality was far from what I sought; even after spending time and sweating, I could not reach my ideal style. In particular, my lower body, which had been a complex of mine for many years, would not budge no matter what I did.
"Is my effort not enough? Or do I lack talent?"
The answer I found was the theory of Mr. Masaru Tomita of "Total Balance Creators," where I currently work.
2. "Training" is a technique, "conditioning" is the foundation
"Body balance is what matters most. Unless you condition the foundation (structure), the whole body will not be balanced."I was shocked by these words from Mr. Tomita. Just like in sports or work, there is an order of "foundation" and "technique" for our bodies as well.
Many women are putting in earnest effort with the sole desire to become beautiful.
Sweating through hard gym sessions and training (effort) because they think, "I have to try harder."
Going to pleasant spas and massages (pleasure) because they think, "I'll leave it to the pros."
These may look like opposites at first glance, but in reality, both are merely "techniques." Trying hard at these while the foundation (structure) is distorted is like "trying your hardest to build a luxury apartment on land that is suffering from subsidence."
I finally realized then that the "desperate efforts" I had repeated until now, and the "healing by professionals" that many people seek, were nothing more than stopgap "symptomatic treatments" without a foundation, and were in a completely different dimension from fundamental "improvement."
3. Making the "veteran secretary" in your brain your ally
Why is it so difficult for our bodies to change? It is the work of the "veteran secretary (subconscious)" you have employed in your brain for many years.
She is extremely capable, but she dislikes change. She assumes her 'current distorted state' is her boss's safe home position (homeostasis) and desperately clings to her old work manual (habits).
The 'RE:SET®' we advocate is a unique technique that uses the brain's habits to gently persuade this secretary. By handing over a new manual for 'correct structure' and repeatedly teaching it over the '80 to 90 days' cycle during which muscle cells are reborn, the secretary finally becomes convinced that 'this is the new correct answer' and begins to automatically update the body to be beautiful and healthy.
4. True confidence gained with 1/10th the effort
While learning the theory, I also thoroughly RESET my own body.
The results were beyond my imagination.
In about 'one-tenth the time' of my previous gym days, I:
saw a dramatic change in the lower body lines that had been a long-standing concern
was freed from chronic discomfort, and every day feels surprisingly light
started being told more often that 'your figure has improved'
It was not the 'amount' of effort, but the 'direction' that was important. Because I have this real-life experience, I can accompany my clients without any hesitation.
5. The reason I share the 'truth' on note
I can only meet three people a month at my salon.
However, there are countless women in the world who, like I once was, hold the wrong map and are standing still in a maze with no exit.
Not knowing the 'truth about the body' is a great loss in life.
That is why I want to convey the 'correct direction' to as many women as possible, not just those I can meet in person, through this place called note.
I want you to reset the mindset that is swayed by overflowing information and believe in the potential that your body originally possesses.
For women to make the second half of their lives shine even brighter. This is because I am convinced that the unwavering foundation for that lies above all in 'your own body's health and beauty'.
6. Bringing the 'capital' that can never be replaced to its best state
Do you have someone you admire? 'That person is wonderful! I envy their figure.' Every woman has thought that at least once, right?
But your body is different from that person you admire. Even if you imitate them, you cannot become them.
Also, no matter how much money you pay, you cannot 'exchange' your body.
Your body is the one and only precious capital that cannot be replaced by anyone else.
That is why I want you to cherish your body and make the right efforts.
My salon is limited to 3 people per month. This is because I want to provide tailor-made support that includes not only treatments but also a thorough analysis of each client's distortion habits, including their thinking habits and criteria for judging information.
You cannot achieve fundamental improvement by 'leaving it to others' like in esthetics or massage.
I want to be a 'partner' for you to reach your ideal self.
I want to deliver this to people who:
Are tired of beauty and health information
Are working hard but not seeing results and are blaming themselves
Want to spend the rest of their lives lightly and freely
If our bodies are correctly conditioned, they will demonstrate unbelievable potential even from our 40s and 50s. 'When the body is conditioned from the foundation, the way of living also becomes conditioned.' If you have a body that can move lightly, the second half of your life will be surprisingly fun.
When you decide that you seriously want to change yourself, please cherish that timing. I would be very happy if this note could provide that trigger. I believe that there is a connection even with people I cannot actually meet.
In an era overflowing with information, it is not easy to get people to read this note. That is why you who read it are my best companions.
▲ I would be happy if you could read this as well.
