Reading the Body: Ohashi’s Book of Oriental Diagnosis
By Wataru Ohashi & Tom Monte
$15.00
“People are always asking me, how can I be happy? Or, how can I find the thing I really want to do in life? I tell you are standing on your answer. The secrets of your life are written on your body” —Ohashi
Ohashi helps you learn these secrets by showing you how to “read your body” to determine both your physical and spiritual condition as revealed in the physical self. Because, as Ohashi notes, “the body is the physical manifestation of the soul,” your posture, your features, and the texture of your skin can tell you who you are.
This is not just a book about health and shiatsu; it is a guide lo living well. The goal of Oriental diagnosis is to find unity of body, mind, and spirit. It emphasises that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and that accommodating one’s weaknesses is as important as utilising one’s strengths.
Filled with diagrams, drawings, and sample diagnoses, this is not only a practical guidebook-by “reading the body” one can tell what shiatsu techniques to apply to the various energy meridians of the body—but also a fascinating meditation on how to live.
