Massage for Total wellBeing Massage and Meditation for the Seven Centers of Health - Byron Preiss Book
Author: Anne Kent Rush

From America's foremost massage expert comes a simple yet highly effective daily guide to restoring body and soul. This lavishly illustrated overview, written by Esalen-trained, best selling author Anne Kent Rush, co-creator of The Massage Book, reflects the stress-freeing role massage plays in soothing away the rigors of the modern world... more ». The new paradigm of healing requires both mind and body. Rush cites leading researchers who have discovered that massage improves health in premature babies, lowers anxiety in the depressed, helps asthmatics breathe better, improves students' ability to concentrate, and boosts immune function in HIV-positive patients. In light of these findings, the Western medical community is now recognizing, not to mention recommending, massage as an integral part of everyone's daily health regimen. The massage strokes chosen for this collection correspond to the seven major energy centers of the body, or chakras, as they are referred to in traditional Hindu yoga techniques. The seven chakras are located in the cranial plexus, forehead plexus, throat plexus, cardiac plexus, solar plexus, belly plexus, and pelvic plexus. Each chakra contains a "spirit" spa, detailing meditation themes, and a "body" spa, explaining coinciding massage strokes. This mind/body approach to massage, infused with meditation, aromatherapy, and kinesthesiology, will deepen and balance your experience and nurture feelings of rejuvenation. Influenced by the renewing benefits of modern spas, Rush has divided her manual in a new and unique way-creating "spirit" and "body" spas for each of the seven centers of energy. Beyond detailing a hands-on approach to health, Massage for Total Well-Being teaches you why the power of touch has such a profound and lasting effect, including how: • recent medical studies of stress-related illness point to the necessity of positive physical contact for human health;

• blocked emotions can be released through forms of deep massage, proving that touch not only builds muscle tone and improves circulation, but also dissolves unhealthy defenses;

• massage benefits premature babies, resulting in a new way for parents to promote healthy early development in their infants and strengthen the family's emotional bonds.

Massage for Total Well-Being celebrates touch as one of the basic avenues to health. All of Rush's techniques, thoroughly backed by scientific results, are easily applied by both the novice and the expert and are accompanied by instructive photographs by Victoria Rauhofer.
