Product Description
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.*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

Format:Paperback
It is a difficult task to explain massage techniques in a book. They have done a great job with full colour illustrations. They cover the materials and equipment you will need and cover both full body and facial techniques. They also explain the meridians and chakras and use of essential oils. This is a good step-by-step guide to give you an understanding of the history and "how-to" procedure. Considering the price, it truly offers exceptional value.

Nice guide to using hot stones and gemstones w/massage therapy
1 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a nice compact book that gives a good overview about using hot stone and gemstone energy in massage treatment. It explores the Hawaiian and Oriental healing concepts related to these therapies and offers good pictures and diagrams to illustrate how to apply these therapies. It discusses the chakras and meridians, and also mentions the selection of massage oils that can be used. This book covers a lot considering its length. It's not a manual for regular massage therapy, so for learning about anatomy and general massage techniques you would need to use a book on therapeutic massage.

Wonderfully Written
19 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoyed this book. I have no prior experience with stones and gems but do with performing massages. The placement (of stone/gem) was very clear as well as the positioning (holding of stone) when performing massage. I can only say WOW to the section about various stones and gems. I will read this book again and again. Working the stones into a session will be exciting for the client & me as well.
