About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a clear and complete introduction to the theory and practice of Zen shiatsu, drawing in lucid detail on the theoretical foundation of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and five element theory. The text offers illustrations and photos of unparalleled clarity, supporting descriptions of treatment routines and techniques, and enabling the student to begin practice with confidence.

Clear and readable text allows even beginners to build knowledge and practice with confidence.
Thorough explorations of the various strands of theory - TCM, five elements, Zen - are presented to make their integration into practice clear and rational.
Detailed text descriptions and illustrations of meridians, point locations, and functions are presented together with the relevant underlying anatomy.
Step-by-step descriptions of treatment routines and appropriate touch techniques enable readers to apply what they've learned.

More - and not simply the most important - points covered in each meridian section
Greater mention made of other styles of shiatsu practice, to give them context alongside Zen shiatsu
New case studies
More material on diagnosis techniques and the interpretation of diagnoses
New line drawings and photos added.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
