Hi,

I hope all is progressing well.

Acupressure and Reflexology For Dummies by Synthia Andrews and Bobbi Dempsey introduces practices of Acupressure and Reflexology useful for any practitioner on any practical level. After mulling over ways I may be a better romantic/life partner, I decide to buy then read the book about Acupressure and Reflexology to find the ancient holistic-traditional-medicinal-like practices to be sound regarding mind-body interconnections. The text offers insights that allow for one to create one's own effective practices for any particular (mind-body connection) reason while ensuring to advise that Acupressure and Reflexology are of a spectrum of holistic-traditional-medicinal-like practices which support each other. The authors don't leave one to even assume Acupressure and/or Reflexology will be an ultimate resolve for all of one's potential health needs. Additionally, the text offers other resources via an Appendix to ensure any reader may find more pertinent information in accordance with one's particular need(s). I like the text: I find a different way to address my mind-body interconnection(s) practically. I appreciate the offerings of the text methodically toward appreciating aspects of one's body and mind, personally, takeaways that assist in approaching one's body and mind in a/ different way(s).

Onward and Upward,

Not a bad intro but the style of writing isn’t for me. If you like the “dummy” books and you have interest in the subject then you’d probably like it. I’m going to look up the books that this book references to get more detailed information.

Used a few acupoints for years, now I felt I needed more. Reflexology is new for me. Now I use it to wind down better bed. Great help for circulation.

Très bonne initiation au shiatsu et à la réflexologie plantaire.
Ce livre m'a permis d'avoir de bonnes bases pour rédiger un article sur la réflexologie plantaire.
Des explications simples et claires pour débuter dans le monde du bien-être, je recommande.

more information than I can absorb

Very heavy going for an "idiots guide". As a massage therapist I have some knowledge but let interest part way through this book.

Read it from a reflexologists point of view. This book was clearly directed towards acupressure students.

Was not as much about Reflexology as I would have likely. Mostly abut acupressure.

Very interesting, but not enough information about reflexology!
