Customer Reviews

Good Text

I use this book regularly, along with Ms. Teeguarden's others, Complete Guide to Acupressure, and The Joy of Feeling. This book is an excellent starter; it has clear descriptions of excatly *where* the points are, unlink Michael Reed Gach's books (one of Ms. Teeguarden's former students). The book also starts you off with Strange Flow work, the most powerful acupressure tool. Since acupressure and traditional chinese medicine isn't about fixing symptoms (Gach's approach), but rather treating the entire system, this is the best ground work I've found.

a class text

This is actually a class text designed to be used in conjunction with a certified Jin Shin Do practitioner and teacher. With that in mind, yes, it will seem ethereal, or worse, when not taken in conjunction with the class(es). As opposed to working primarily from the ZangFu, Jin Shin Do utilizes the 8 curious Mai; and is another way to help body-workers in dealings of body armoring.

Good practical book

I found this simply written book very usefull. The book begins with conception and introduction of theoretical basis of chinese medicine and accupressure, it continues with tables of locations and way of working on the main acu-points (including self-treatment). At the and of the book author gives us a practical approach to the emotions from the acu-points.
