There's more to hot stone massage than ... hot stones

I'll admit that I enjoy a good hot stone massage, hence my interest in this book. I'll also admit that I'm familiar with the author's work as a master teacher of massage therapy, yoga and ayurvedic science, having been in her classes. The book explores how we can develop our spiritual relationship to earth as a medium for healing and enables the reader to understand why the stone massage experience can be so enjoyable. I enjoyed perusing it in front of the fire this winter. The author was one of the pioneers of modern stone massage in the early 1990s, when stone massage was not yet "rediscovered" from the ancients. The first seven chapters explore her philosophy of earth healing, and the last five chapters describe how she came to understand stone as a healing medium and aid to massage therapy. She provides specifics about her experiences with the healing qualities of different types of stone, as well as instructions for their use, which should be of interest to massage practitioners. See you down at the spa.
