Katsugen undō (regenerating movement exercise, 活源運動, かつげんうんどー) is a Seitai exercise developed by Haruchika Noguchi in which one on purpose lets go of conscious control of the body and allow it to heal itself. Also a manifestation of regenerating movement exists which is spontaneously induced by the body and which is simply called katsugen.[1][1]
Before consciously inducing katsugen undō, one has to do two preparatory movements and a method exists for ending katsugen undō. This makes a total of four movements. It is also possible to do mutual katsugen undō by two people.[1]
