Quotes from participants
After the seminar with Champaka for the first time I understood why I have been feeling so cold in my body all my life. Using Ito Thermie and changing my diet I am feeling much better.
A, France
Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to learn this method. It’s great! I love it! I give it to myself nearly every evening. Also I give it during the groups if people have a headache or feel bad. People love it also.
S, Lithuania
We all had a wonderful time with Champaka learning Ito thermie – I had a card from Ailsa my work colleague who came, she felt the weekend was life changing! You can’t say better than that.
M, Scotland
The Ito Thermie seminar was wonderful! Everybody was in tune with the process and the atmosphere was really beautiful. It needs time for me to apply all the knowledge to my daily life, but I already feel that being just a traditional dentist is not enough for me. I don’t just want to fix teeth, but I want to help people to have healthy teeth.

ITO THERMIE
Ito Thermie is a holistic, self healing, complementary medicine that works on mind, body and spirit, to promote good health spiritual harmony and emotional well-being. It was founded by Dr. Kin-itsu Ito from Japan who was looking for a simple means to promote better health in his patients.
How does Ito Thermie work?
The typical Ito Thermie session is both soothing and stimulating. Small metal cylinders holding custom designed burning incense made of such health-giving herbs as moxa, pine and loquat leaves, are stroked over the whole body.
The pleasurable effects of being massaged with this unique source of heat radiating deeply into the body, brings
warmth and vitality. The smoke alone can be an excellent way of dealing with difficult, sensitive skin conditions. More generally, the
smoke plays an important role by cleaning the energetic field around the body and transporting the beneficial herbs to the lungs and bloodstream.
The infrared heat of the sessions provides a direct source of vital energy, which the body can take to balance
and support any of its functions. People often remark after a session that they feel they have returned to a state
of balance both physically and emotionally.
Individual Sessions with Champaka
During his stay in the UK Champaka is available for individual sessions. His sessions are 1 hour long. Some time is spent initially counselling the client to find out what he/she needs. The client receives individual guidance on how to stay healthy or how to become more healthy. This can concern the diet or life style of the individual or be some advice about meditation. The Thermie session addresses the specific issue(s) of the client. People become aware of the source of sickness or the source of their problem. Also they will experience a very deep relaxation and are helped to be in touch with their own source again.

Ito Thermie Intermediate Courses
After attending the Ito Thermie Basic Course you can take part in the Ito Thermie Intermediate courses each lasting three days. These focus on special topics as shown below and can be attended in any order.
Beside the topic of the group every course focuses on:
- Helping you to improve your Ito Thermie technique and to deepen the understanding of this healing method that unfolds step by step as you practise it.
- Giving a partial or whole body treatment to Champaka after which you will receive a detailed, individual feedback from him, about what you need to focus on and what are the next steps in your individual learning process. In this way your Ito Thermie technique will become more refined in every course.
- Through the sharing of experiences of using Ito Thermie in daily life by the participants self-confidence can grow and the degree of skill also.
- Exchanging treatments with the other participants in the group
Everybody can receive a Kyu with a certificate. Kyu is derived from traditional Japanese Martial Arts or Calligraphy to know your level of total understanding and skill in a particular method.
Participants will understand what level of expertise has been attained and what are the next steps for them in their learning process. We start from 10 Kyu and as you progress the number reduces (9, 8, 7, 6...). Professional Ito Thermie sessions can be given from level 6 Kyu onwards.

* Being present is a quality you can train yourself to achieve and can refine. As you become more present you can meet the person you are giving a session to and the events in your life in a true sense. You can move from the surface to the depths in your meeting. You will start exercising techniques to be present and you can use these in your meditation and in your daily activities as well.
Intermediate - Bringing meditative quality to your Ito Thermie session: 3 days
In this course participants will learn how to bring a meditative quality to their session with their loving touch and with total presence and relaxation. Both the giver of the treatment and the recipient will experience deep silence. When a person is brought to the place where he/she can reconnect with his/her own source, naturally healing can happen.
