Seitai
Seitai (properly ordered body, 整体, せいたい). Technically, it consists in easing the activity of the life force by re-adjusting the physiology of the body. Basic known techniques are katsugen undō (活元運動, かつげんうんどう), Seitai taisō （整体体操、せいたいたいそう）and yūki (愉気, ゆき), which has been founded by Haruchika Noguchi (野口晴哉, のぐちはるちか)[1][2]. Major concepts in seitai includes taiheki (体癖, たいへき)[3]. Seitai is also known as Noguchi Seitai to prevent ambiguity. Note: For some people Seitai was invented by Michio Takahashi in the 1920s. He is also called the founder of the Seitai School [4].

[edit] Katsugen undō
Katsugen undō (regenerating movement exercise, 活元運動, かつげんうんどう) is a Seitai exercise developed by Haruchika Noguchi in which one purposely lets go of conscious control of the body and allows it to heal itself. Also a manifestation of regenerating movement exists which is spontaneously induced by the body and which is simply called katsugen.[7][8]
