DESC: Shiatsu is a healing therapy based on the tradition of Chinese Meridian theory that believes that all of the body's vital energy flows along channels, or meridians, and that a healthy body will have a strong, uninterrupted flow of energy. Illness will manifest itself through slow, lethargic energy and is subtly perceptible to the trained shiatsu therapist, who then chooses the appropriate points along the body to press and manipulate, balancing the energy flow. Zen Shiatsu is a particular branch of shiatsu that was developed by author Shizuto Masunaga in the 1970's and has become a unique addition to the healing arts. Masunaga's contribution was the introduction of the "Twelve Masunaga Organ Meridians" and an emphasis on a holistic approach to shiatsu as a healing therapy. ZEN SHIATSU is Masunaga's landmark book explaining his theories and giving detailed instructions for this complex healing discipline. Learning is made easier by the hundreds of black & white photos that illustrate the book. Self-massage w
