Download or read book Shiatsu Coloring Book written by Shannon Yang and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shiatsu utilizes a combination of pressure and assisted-stretching techniques, some of which are common to other therapies, such as Massage, Physiotherapy, Acupressure, Osteopathy, Lymphatic Drainage, Do-in and others. The treatment stimulates the circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid, releases toxins and deep seated tensions from the muscles, stimulates the hormonal system and the immune system, and acts on the autonomic nervous system, allowing the recipient to relax deeply and to get in touch with own healing power. Color Therapy or Color Healing is the use of color in various forms for the purpose of creating balance and health in the human system. The human system includes not only the physical body, but also the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects (PEMS). Working with the PEMS is referred to as wholistic medicine. Colorpuncture and Samassati Color Therapy use color light on meridians and acupoints, chakras, in the aura, and on various reflex zones. Just as needling (acupuncture) or applying pressure (acupressure and Shiatsu) to meridians and acupoints, color in the form of light, crystals, essential oils, etc., can also affect the electromagnetic circuitry of the human system.

However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate. A Practical Guide to Acu-Points presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners.
