Ayurvedic Massage : Traditional Indian Techniques for Balancing Body and Mind

Great book with informative information.

This was a great book for an Intro!

I really liked this book. It is a basic Indian massage. The reason i only gave it 4 stars was because, I think it skips some other basics that i know because i am in school for massage therapy. This book was recomended by my basic massage book as info into Ayurvedic Massage modality. I like some of the techniques and add them into my swedish massage, but i don't plan on taking any classes on Ayurvedic. If you have no expirence on massage then buy a basic massage book first. This book goes into the spirtual, as well as shows you a full body massage. I also found how important the oil you used and what you should store it in interesting.

If you seek balance, read all the books of H. Johari!

I met Harish when I was three and he visited with myself and my family through out my life. I am twenty seven now, and am just begining to comprehend the essence of the messages of the Arevedic that he translates with diamond like clarity. Spirituality is expressed with pragmatic excersizes that can lead to a well balanced spiritual and physical state of health and satisfaction. Each book increases your hunger for knowledge of the mind, body and soul as discussed through the arevedic traditions. The books are genuine filled with beauty and real teachings by artist, musician, healer and holy man, Harish Johari. To further your well being read them all!
