Wellstone Books One Body Massage
Book SynopsisGoogle massage therapist Grace Ku believes that through massage we can all learn to communicate better with one another, and of course also learn to move deeper into dialogue with our own bodies. We can help each other to fend off the warping influence of stress, worry and fear, limit technological overreach into our psyches, and bring joyousness into our days. Fifteen years ago Grace spent long hours hunched over a computer monitor, like so many others in Silicon Valley, and ended up with more than her share of neck, eye, back and shoulder pain. She thought this was how life was supposed to be. Then she had an awakening and a shift in perspective that showed her life could be different: She could be relaxed, at peace with herself and comfortable in her own body, and she could work as a massage therapist to bring balance and contentment to others. Now in her first book, she pulls together lessons learned in her years of work as a Google massage therapist. This is a book, full of GTrade Review"One Body Massage tells Grace Ku's personal story, but it's more of a guidebook to those not familiar with massage who might want to learn its principles and apply them, not necessarily as an aspiring professional but in personal relationships as well." - Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft
Book SynopsisWritten by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment. Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that 'pop' the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.

Book SynopsisCraniosacral therapy is based on the belief that functions of the human system are maintained and integrated by a biodynamic force known as 'primary respiration,' or the breath of life. Found in the brain, spinal cord, and bodily fluids, this rhythmic pulse promotes healing and health. Written for students and practitioners but accessible to lay readers, this text presents the fundamental concepts and techniques of a method that redirects the cerebrospinal fluid to areas of imbalance, thus enhancing overall health. Volume One covers both the history and conceptual ideas fundamental to Craniosacral Biodynamics, as well as the more complex structural and tissue relationships.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Soft Tissue Release Handbook: Reducing Pain and
Book SynopsisFor practitioners of massage therapy, sports massage, remedial massage, and physical therapy, soft tissue release is a powerful tool in treating chronic pain conditions such as shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, and iliotibial band friction syndrome. Soft tissue release also aids post-surgical recovery and is used in the treatment of highly trained athletes, dancers, and musicians who wish to tackle those small but key tissue areas needed to maintain and improve their performance. The soft tissues consist of muscle fibers, myofascia, tendons, and ligaments. The all-encompassing nature of this connective tissue is becoming increasingly fascinating to bodywork practitioners of all kinds, including massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, orthopedic nurses and doctors, and sports therapists. Treatment of the soft tissues continues to gain momentum, and there are many exciting research developments that demonstrate how manipulation of these tissues can have profound effects on the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Skilled release of the soft tissues reduces the need for adjustments or joint mobilizations, because appropriate release improves joint movement. Freeing the joints and enhancing the health of the soft tissues also facilitates a superior and lasting response to rehabilitation programs. The Soft Tissue Release Handbook is aimed at practicing therapists who wish to address the soft tissues precisely and effectively, whether as an adjunct to existing bodywork techniques or as a treatment modality in itself. The skills presented in this book can be immediately applied in the clinic with existing and new clients. Graphic illustrations of the key muscles involved in movement, as well as over 200 full-color photographs of the technique in action, make this an easy-to-use and practical guide.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body: A
Book SynopsisIn this comprehensive guide to subtle energy and its associated physical manifestations, Robert Henderson reveals how the discomfort and pain you carry in your physical body is related to the energies of the life you have experienced. The author explains the eight types of subtle energy: Emotional, which carries anger, fear, love, and other emotions; Mental, which affects patterns of behavior, beliefs, actions, and memories; Spiritual, which influences intuition, inspiration, and transcendent states; Sexual, which affects creativity, spontaneity, and excitement; Environmental, which arises from stress at work, tension at home, and other outside influences; Interpersonal, which comes from interactions with family, lovers, and friends; Ancestral, the energy of the lives of your parents up to the time of your conception; and Karmic, the energy of your past lives. Detailing how these energies are drawn in by the chakras and distributed throughout the body by the meridians, the author explains how suffering acute emotional trauma or long-term stress causes negative energies to accumulate in the energy body much like fat deposits. Our physical body reacts to these energy blockages, leading to physical conditions such as closed hips, tight hamstrings, digestive distress, chronic pain, and persistent tension in areas like the shoulders. The author explores more than 30 specific physical ailments, providing the energetic origins of each condition, the exact location of the corresponding energy blockage, and which meridians, chakras, and points are affected. He covers sexual energy in depth, explaining how to handle repressed energy as it is released during yoga or massage. As the author shows, physical ailments caused by the energies of hurtful life events can be healed through massage and yoga, allowing you to become open to the free and spontaneous circulation of energy through the subtle body.Trade Review“Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body provides a sophisticated yet user-friendly map of the body’s subtle energy systems. The work is rooted in the authority of Henderson’s own experiences as an energy healer while seamlessly weaving together knowledge from the wisdom traditions that are at the foundation of his work. Written in highly accessible language, it will be a valued resource for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners.” * Donna Eden and David Feinstein, Ph.D., coauthors of Energy Medicine and The Energies of Love *“What lays between your ‘true’ and ‘current’ self? Based on Robert Henderson’s thorough, enriching, and illuminating explanations of subtle energy and healing, I would say, ‘Your place of power.’ Henderson’s brilliant book outlines the means for detecting the blocked energies in your life and body and ways to clear them using energetic, yogic, and massage processes. Henderson’s comprehensive understanding of the sources of our obvious problems, from karma to emotions to mental misunderstandings, will enable us all to powerfully transform others and ourselves.” * Cyndi Dale, author of The Subtle Body, New Chakra Healing, Energetic Boundaries, and The Intuition G *“With more than 15 years of experience teaching and practicing Thai massage, Robert’s book enriches the culture of massage and yoga. In clear and simple language he provides a doorway to understanding the role of energy in healing. I highly recommend this book for those who want to explore beyond the physical.” * Kam Thye Chow, founder and director of the Lotus Palm School and author of Thai Yoga Massage and Tha *Table of ContentsPart OneIntroduction to Subtle Energy and the Chakras1 Understanding Subtle Energy 2 Energy Balancing in the Chakras and MeridiansPart TwoTypes of Subtle Energy and Their Release through Yoga and Massage 3 Emotional Energy4 Sexual and Karmic Energies 5 Spiritual Energy 6 Interpersonal, Ancestral, and Environmental EnergiesPart ThreeHealing Emotional Blockages7 Reading the Colors of Energy 8 Releasing Blockages in the Body: 30 Energetic Ailment Indicators Epilogue Becoming the Person You Were Meant to Be Appendix The Esoteric Index

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Crystal Wands: For Massage Therapy, Reflexology,
Book SynopsisA full-color guide to using crystal wands in bodywork and energy medicine • Explores the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands • Provides step-by-step instructions for crystal-wand techniques in massage and reflexology, in energy work such as aura tuning and chakra balancing, and for protection, power, and relaxation The healing powers of crystals and gemstones were known more than eight hundred years ago by the mystic Hildegard von Bingen and as far back as two millennia ago by the Greek physician Dioskurides. In this full-color illustrated guide, Ewald Kliegel explains the benefits of incorporating crystal wands into your bodywork and healing practice and details the techniques of doing so. The author explains how the versatile shape of a crystal wand amplifies the crystal’s energetic effects and offers advantages in massage and reflexology over other shapes of crystals and stones. The larger rounded end can act as a crystal sphere for massaging knots or large areas, whereas the tapered end is ideal for stimulating reflex zones, targeting acupressure points, and tracing meridian lines. Starting with the foundational set of three wands to begin your toolkit: Rock Crystal, Red Jasper, and Aventurine, the author examines the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands. He shows how Amethyst clears the head, relaxes muscle tension, benefits the lungs, nerves, and skin, aids digestion and constipation, helps dissolve blockages and addictive behavior, and combats fatigue. He explains how crystal wands can be divided into 3 energetic categories--neutral, stimulating, or balancing--and details how to select the proper wand or wands for each healing situation. The author provides step-by-step instructions for incorporating crystal wands into massage and reflexology treatments, for their use in energy medicine, specifically for internal tuning of the aura and balancing the chakras, and for using crystal wands for protection, power, and relaxation.Trade Review“Crystal Wands is an insightful and practical manual for combining crystal healing with reflexology. Kliegel’s clear and precise writing reflects the sensitivity and wisdom of a skilled therapist. The book is beautifully illustrated with photos of the wands, diagrams of the techniques and protocols, and contains valuable reference tables. The practical applications in this book make it a valuable and inspiring addition to one’s healing toolkit.” * NICHOLAS PEARSON, author of Crystal Healing for the Heart *Table of Contents1 Basics Do Crystal Wands Really Work?

Book SynopsisA practical book written for both health professionals and the layperson, this newly revised guide deconstructs common myths about the use of massage in cancer treatment. Reviewing literature that shows cancer to be caused by genetic mutation and the influence of hormones, the opening discussion emphasises that mechanical action such as massage does not break tumours open or cause them to spread. The book purports that the real medical issues for massage therapists centre on ameliorating the discomfort of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. The topics covered include massage in hospitals, in respite care, for the dying and for exhausted carers, with appendices summarising research on oncology patients and massage. Charts for the adjustment of massage techniques according to the treatment a patient is undergoing are also included.This new edition contains updated information and insights into massaging people affected by cancer. New chapters have been added to cover each stage of the cancer experience: treatment, recovery, survivorship, side effects from the disease and end of life. As well, a new chapter has been added that focuses on the Pressure/Site/Positioning framework. This is the clinical framework around which the massage session is planned.Also updated is the scientific research on the effects of massage for people with cancer as well as material devoted to massaging young adult survivors, the person with breast reconstruction, cording and late effects as well as thoughts for therapists and clients who are considering the use of massage as part of a detoxification process. Written exercises have been added for student therapists and all of those who want to participate in their own learning. As well, sample session write-ups have been included to show the reader the variety of touch modalities that can be used to for people living with cancer.

Gaia Ediciones La técnica metamórfica
Book SynopsisDurante los nueve meses de gestación se establecen los potenciales de la vida humana, y se ha descubierto que, mediante el trabajo sobre los reflejos espinales de los pies, las manos la cabeza, es posible volver a reactivar dicho período de formación.A través de este trabajo, la fuerza esencial de la vida del paciente libera las energías que se encontraban obstruidas durante el período prenatal, favoreciendo con ello el proceso de curación de la mente, el cuerpo y el espíritu.Esta edición, revisada y actualizada, explica de forma simple y clara los principios y la práctica de la Técnica Metamórfica, valiéndose igualmente de diversas ilustraciones y diagramas."La Técnica Metamórfica" proporciona una excelente base para el conocimiento de la Metamorfosis, y una herramienta para quienes sientes verdadero interés por adentrarse en su práctica y sus principios. Resulta realmente estimulante comprobar que la Metamorfosis está alcanzando una difusión casi universal, de modo que cuanto más se escriba al respecto, mucho mejor.Gaston Saint-Pierre y Debbie Shapiro proponen un enfoque extremadamente bien documentado de este trabajo, y confío en que este libro genere el interés de muchos estudiantes."Del Prólogo, por Robert St. John, creador de la Técnica Metamórfica.GASTON SAINT-PIERRE nació en el Canadá francés en 1940 y ha vivido en Inglaterra desde comienzos de la década de los sesenta. Trabajó durante catorce años en el mundo de las finanzas, y en ese período realizó numerosos viajes. Posteriormente se diplomó y comenzó a ejercer como profesor del método Montessori. En los años setenta realizó un curso de capacitación con Robert St. John, el descubridor de este revolucionario concepto de curación denominado "metamorfosis". En 1980 fundó la Asociación Metamórfica, una entidad de carácter benéfico, y en la actualidad se dedica a impartir conferencias y divulgar su conocimiento no sólo en Europa, sino en otros países del mundo.DEBBIE SHAPIRO actualmente divide su tiempo entre Inglaterra y Estados Unidos, enseñando y practicando la Técnica Metamórfica y su terapia de curación. Ha dedicado los últimos dieciocho años a estudiar y practicar meditación, psicología, lenguaje corporal y artes de sanación.
