Book Description
There are over 200 different styles of massage, and it can get a little confusing to decipher how the methods differ and which is best for you. Most of the techniques in this book are Western-based (Swedish massage), but many are influenced by other methods from around the world, including Thai massage, Tui na massage (Chinese), Shiatsu (Japanese), and more. In the first part of this book, I walk you through the history of massage, the mind-body connection, and basic anatomy, providing you with the foundation you need for giving and receiving massage. From there, I offer massage techniques for the whole body complete with step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations. I also share instructions for my favorite styles from around the world; positions and techniques for special life circumstances, such as prenatal, baby, couples, and senior massage; and special healing techniques for pain. When starting any new program, such as the massage techniques presented in this book, always consult your physician or other healthcare professional. The information in this book is not intended to diagnose or cure any medical condit on or to replace your healthcare professional. Consult with your healthcare professional if you have any concerns about any of the techniques in this book. If you experience any pain or difficulty with any technique, stop and consult your healthcare provider

Book Description
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Needs: Discovering Taoist Wicca is a unique seasonal self-coaching and ritual system, time-tested by real people—with real results! This book takes you on a cross-cultural journey, through a calendar year, to discover a spiritual approach to stress management, self-healing, and personal growth. Taoist Wicca combines Taoist principles, Chakra wisdom, and applied introspection with the ancient hypnotic power of ritual. This system is a practical guide to exploring the seasons as thematic and energetic connections between the body, mind, and spirit: the Unseen, ourselves, and our planet. Endorsements As a psychotherapist who has been in practice for over three decades, who is also Wiccan, I am profoundly excited by Suzy Peltier’s work. She manages to speak to the heart while also being intellectually challenging. I look forward to being able to give her book to colleagues and clients alike. She has taken different systems of healing and integrated them into something not only new but incredibly powerful and potent. This book is an important contribution to the healing arts, addressing the healing of mind, body, and spirit. —Deborah Oak Cooper, MFT In this unique exploration, Suzy Peltier expertly applies the wisdom of Taoism and Wicca to modern-day struggles. Deeply insightful, this book seamlessly interweaves the complementary themes of Wicca, Taoism, Chinese medicine, the Hindu Chakra system, and Western science to provide a beneficial guide to restoring balance and vitality as we navigate our lives in the twenty-first century. —Dr. Daniel Geren, DAOM, L.Ac. Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine The magick works—if you work it! I have practiced Taoist Wicca since 2005. I have realized my dreams of a second-degree priestess initiation and a successful career with continual growth. I have co-written and published a children’s book, and am now married to the love of my life. All this, I created through practicing Taoist Wicca and the love and kinship of the Circle. —Lady Pele of the Phoenix, author, realtor, and second-degree Taoist Wiccan high priestess, and practitioner since 2005
