Synopsis
A fully illustrated guide to the ancient Hawaiian art of massage with hot stones - Includes illustrated instructions for each area of the body - Explains how to combine hot stone massage with gemstone chakra treatment, detailing the specific healing powers of 54 gemstones - Recommends which base oils and essential oils enhance the effects of hot stone massage Since ancient times, the people of Hawaii have used hot stones for both physical and spiritual healing. Using basalt stones--fine-grained, high-density volcanic rocks with an exceptional ability to store heat--hot stone massage not only dispels tensions and soothes the soul but also enhances lymph flow, removes toxins, and fortifies the immune system. The treatment causes blood vessels to dilate, leading to improved circulation and consequently improved oxygen, nutrient, antibody, and protective cell supply to the area of the body under the stones and is extremely effective for joint problems, back pain, and sore muscles. Beyond the strictly physical benefits, the massage also stimulates the meridians and chakras, gently dissipating energetic blockages. This book provides step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions for treatments for each area of the body. The authors then include details on the specific healing powers of 54 gemstones, showing how to further enhance the benefits of hot stone massage with gemstone chakra treatment. For instance, in facial massage, working with amethyst can alleviate headaches and help heal skin blemishes. They also describe the therapeutic benefits of several base and essential oils and recommend specific combinations for hot stone massage. The power of the stones, the warmth of the treatment, and the massage itself unite in this holistic therapy to provide deep relaxation and calm that recharges the body and soul., A fully illustrated guide to the ancient Hawaiian art of massage with hot stones * Includes illustrated instructions for each area of the body * Explains how to combine hot stone massage with gemstone chakra treatment, detailing the specific healing powers of 54 gemstones * Recommends which base oils and essential oils enhance the effects of hot stone massage Since ancient times, the people of Hawaii have used hot stones for both physical and spiritual healing.

    "Touch is one of the most powerful methods of healing." From the Foreward by E.M. Lohner

    This book is beautifully illustrated with explanatory diagrams and illustrative photographs. The book is divided into four sections: The Basics, Materials, Preparing for Hot Stone Massage and Hot Stone and Gem Massage. "The Basics" begins with a history of massage as used throughout the ages. Notable people and places throughout history are explained in easy, clear, concise text. The LaStone and meridian systems of Hot Stone Massage are reviewed and discussed. Using particular gemstones for Chakra Massage is also explained. The authors manage to convey all this information without becoming overly technical or academic. I found the text to be very accessible and easy to read. The section on "Materials" explains what makes basalt stones particularly suited to hot stone massage. Also covered ...

    Perhaps more fitted to a experienced masseur. It is kind of complicated for a novice.

    Hot Stone and Gem Massage

    Hot Stone and Gem Massage is based upon the traditional style of the Hawaiian Hot Stone Massage. Of the two main types of stone massage techniques, this methodology is probably the easiest to learn and most flexible. Conversely, the LaStone technique, based upon the healing knowledge of the North American Hopi Peoples, follows very strict guidelines and can only be practiced by licensed practitioners. Hot Stone and Gem Massage is a very good resource for anyone looking to get into hot stone and gem massage. The book includes full instructions on how to choose stones, which oils can be used during the process, where to place the elements, how to do the massage portions, and the intention of each action. The authors also explain how to do several alternative techniques that can be used in ...
