Summary
Noted author and massage therapist Lucinda Lidell provides a sampling of Western and Eastern massage techniques for the amateur to practice at home. Beginning with basic instruction on how to set up a relaxing space for massage, including a list of essential supplies (such as oils, towels, and padding), Lidell then scans the body head to toe and explains the elements of proper massage (both technique and sequence). The book's third section reveals Liddell's thoughts on Shiatsu massage and its impact on the body's anatomy. She also teaches a bit of reflexology (including foot and hand treatments), and provides lively discussion on the power of human touch. This is an excellent, handy reference and guide for massage students in training.

Healing and the Mind
by Bill Moyers
In the best-selling companion volume to the PBS series, acclaimed television journalist Bill Moyers explores the fascinating, complex, powerful connection between mind and body in human health. Ancient medical science told us our minds and bodies are one. So did philosophers of old. Now, modern science and new research are helping us to understand these connections. In Healing And The Mind, Bill Moyers talks with physicians, scientists, therapists, and patients -- people who are taking a new look at the meaning of sickness and health. In a series of fascinating and provocative interviews, he discusses their search for answers to perplexing questions: How do emotions translate into chemicals in our bodies? How do thoughts and feelings influence health? How can we collaborate with our bodies to encourage healing? With the incisive style that has made Bill Moyers's skills as an interviewer legendary, Healing And The Mind is destined to influence how America thinks about sickness and health.Full -color and B & W photographs throughout.

The Book of Massage: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide To Eastern And Western Techniques
Lidell, Lucinda
Simon & Schuster, 1984. Paperback. Good. Light cover scuffing and bumped corners. Inside is clean and excellent. Book Description: The classic guide to the relaxing and healing skills of the hands, from massage to shiatsu and reflexology. Beautifully illustrated, with dear step-by-step instructions and authoritative advice on all aspects, The Book of Massage will teach you the power of the human touch -- this ancient and expressive language without words. Soothe away stress and tension; Relax and forget your cares; Develop your healing powers; Understand your body signals; Banish headaches and back pain; Experience health and vitality; Learn the pleasure of caring; Feelloved and valued; Develop your sensitivity; Cope with the pressure of life; Share the language of touch. Review: With more than 650,000 copies sold, massage therapist Lucinda Lidell's Book of Massage has been updated with new photos and instructional drawings. Not for the prudish, as the subjects in most of the photos are completely in the buff, the book presents an intense, information-packed, step-by-step guide to traditional massage, shiatsu, and reflexology. No matter which method you choose to focus on (you're advised to choose one at a time), Lidell is thorough in her explanations of the strokes and techniques necessary to give relaxing, therapeutic massage in the privacy of your own home. Detailed drawings, diagrams, and photographs help to further demonstrate how to address each individual body part. Divided into distinct chapters for each of the three methods, The Book of Massage also includes several sections that Lidell stresses are fundamental to all types of massage. The first is "Beginning," with information such as creating the right atmosphere (a warm room and soft lighting), applying oil, and finding a comfortable position. Additionally, Lidell suggests that everyone should review sections on the human touch and anatomy, both of which oddly come at the end of the book. As thorough as The Book of Massage may be, do not expect to walk away from it an expert. As with any skill worth learning, giving good massage takes time, study, and practice, practice, practice. --Bree Altman Orders normally ship in 1-2 business days depending on what time payment is completed.
