Starting with a simple setting that can easily be accomplished with few special preparations, readers will learn, step-by-step, how to make a deep and meaningful connect with their partner's body. Using a combination of strokes from the most time-honored massage traditions, they will learn to be mindful of where their partner holds stress and tension. As the massage continues, readers will enter into a profound nonverbal dialogue with their partner, learning much from the simple act of contact with another body. All of the techniques are illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Elegant and refined, this book is a perfect gift for a special someone or a friend in love.
This is an introductory book of massage and as such covers the same information you will get in any other similar book. I personally don't really care for the parts in the book that talk about holding positions to connect with your partner. If I attempted to connect with my partner in the fashion explained in the book, she would connect with me by a smack to the head. To each their own!
It was an okay book. I thought there were a few helpful tips, but it's hard to learn massage techniques through reading rather than watching or experiencing.
