Called "katsugen oondoh" in Japan where it originated, it has a meaning close to "genesis exercise". I have incorporated many years of experience practicing this movement and have adapted it into a philosophy of life which encompasses the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of living.
In writing about the origin of katsugen I must say that I have no documentation for some of the following; it is basically hearsay, although from a good source.
Katsugen oondo was created by a healer in Japan (now deceased) named Haruchika Noguchi as a way of augmenting his healing practice. He realized his healing talents during World War II as the dead and wounded people lay around him after an air raid. He discovered that he had an instinctive talent for healing the wounds and ailments of the afflicted. After the war, he continued with his practice by receiving proper training in the art of healing.
Noguchi-san's healing practice was always well attended. Because he did not have time to efficiently minister to everyone who came to him for help, he created katsugen oondoh, a method of self healing which could be practiced by all.
