JAPANESE FULL-BODY SHIATSU is not only an introduction to ancient oriental philosophy for those wishing to practice self-correcting holistic health care, but it is also a seasoned practitioners' guide to giving full Shiatsu. It walks the reader through a typical Shiatsu session, step-by-step, in clean and concise language with easy to follow illustrations. At each step of the session, the reader learns which meridians they are working and what medicinal indications they are affecting. By itself, this book is an invaluable resource of practical knowledge. However, in addition to the practitioner's guide to full-body Shiatsu, this book also contains a complimentary and companion publication on acupressure points. Under its own published title, Illustrated Acupoint Compendium, it contains a complete listing of the 361 standard acupoints as well as 119 extra-ordinary and new points. It describes each acupoint's location in understandable western anatomical terms, and lists medicinal indications for each point. Together in one volume, both books, Japanese Full-Body Shiatsu and Illustrated Acupoint Compendium, become an indispensable reference for students and practitioners alike, as they learn to promote general health and well-being in themselves and others!
