The Massage is the Message

THE MIRACLE OF HEALING HANDS is an excellent guide to massage therapy for both novices and licensed practicioners alike. A welcomed addition to any New Age library, this manual should definitely be in yours if your are a health professional or caregiver. Even those of us who just enjoy giving or receiving a massage will benefit greatly from these thirty-five step-by-step techniques. Clearly highlighted with 275 photos and illustrations, these techniques do not concentrate solely on traditional massage but cover a gamut of healing therapies ranging from foot reflexology and body drumming to hydrotherapy and meditation. Written by Waheguru S. Khalsa, D.C., a student of Yogi Bhajan, THE MAGIC OF HEALING HANDS is not only well-illustrated but netciuously organized to give even the novice a firm understanding of the theory behind a "healing touch." It covers the three universal laws of healing, the four basic hand positions, and a series of Quicktouch treatment to alleviate a variety of problems such as tension, stress, indigestion and gatigue. This may be just what you need instead of that dose of antacid or that mid-afternoon slug of caffeine. Imagine how much closer it may bring you and that certain co-worker you are interested in. People who massage together...Well, be careful, there are still a lot of sexual harrassment suits going around.There are also longer treatments with exotic names like the Royal Body Treatment, the Diamond Treatment, and Mountain Above, Thuinder Below Treatment that strengthen the immune system, improve circulation and increast chi or prana. I particularly enjoyed trying a few of the Meditations for Emotional Balance. There is kindle the Golden Stove Treatment for general energizing and bodily warmth. The Golden Stove is the kundaline point or tara. There is also the Meditation for Releasing Fear and Grief and the Cranial Adjustment for Reaching Heaven, a consciousness-altering massage that is an excellent precursor to sitting meditation.The author, who has a chiropractic office in West Los Angeles where he also teaches Kundalini Yoga and gives occasional workshops on Healing Hands at Yoga West, concludes his manual with details on the lost art of hydrotherapy. At the turn of the century (the last one, not this one) many physicians were skilled in water treatments. But, with the proliferation of miracle drugs and invasive surgery over the last hundred years, many of these treatments have faded from conventional use. However, the reader will find about a dozen of them in this very useful, easy-to-follow manual on healing from Rishi Knot Publishers
