Take care of stiff or painful areas, and apply the strokes you'll master in the most effective way, whether they're gentle and general or specific and focused. Plus: a guiding CD with directions, mantras and blessings!

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Heal yourself in body, mind, heart, and soul through gentle self-massage. Listening and responding to how you feel through kind touch will bring relief from injuries and chronic conditions while helping you accept yourself as you are. Learn the many strokes and how to apply them--whether to use a soft, general touch or a more focused, specific contact. Self-exploration, massage, and guided imagery exercises will further deepen the experience.
Bonus: Put the exercises together into a session using the CD enclosed inside the cover. Let the author's soothing voice lead you as the music relaxes you.

"This is a wonderful book/CD set. It will be of great help and interest to everyone who has a body. It is the nature of bodies to occasionally or chronically complain. Here is an answer to those complaints, lovingly and responsibly given."--Pat Morgan, MA, Certified Massage Therapist, Head Trainer for the Academy for Guided Imagery

"Beautifully conceptualized and designed, this book and the guided explorations on the CD that accompany it, are a significant contribution for all of us who believe that better caring for the self is ultimately the most effective form of true health care."--from the foreword by Martin L. Rossman, MD, Author, Guided Imagery for Self-Healing
