Good section on theory and very good coveage of specific ailments. I also liked the combining of energy and psychology. Better than most books I have read on the subject.

The suggestions I have are
-a better index (benefits of points not listed)
-more info on preventatives

This is an excellent reference to acupressure theory, with complete descriptions of the strange flows and the 12 organ meridians, their functions and interactions. Point locations and descriptions are very good, and the book contains additional information on Source, Luo, and Shu points. Additionally, there are wonderful articles on client communication, Eriksonian hypnotherapy, and Reichian segmental theory that are integrated into Jin Shin Do (R).

Highly recommended.

If I could carry only one book to get me through love, trauma, injury, recovery; in other words,life, THIS would be the one!
Accurate, easy to understand and apply, this is the one book to own in order to understand and benefit from acupressure. Iona Teeguarden, as psychotherapist and founder of Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure is a brilliant teacher, author and guide.
Don't leave home without this book!

This book is very informative and gives excellent descriptions of the points and thier uses.

well i thought this book would have everything and easy to understand well it has everything but as for easy to understand no this book is not for a beginner

Iona Teagarden is the leader on the subject of Jin Shin Do. I found her stuff when I was a teenager after having taken an introductory class.

However, this book on Amazon dot com is overpriced. You can get it new directly from the Jin Shin Do Foundation for $30.00

This is an important reference book for those interested in Dim Mak, the deadliest Chinese martial art.Knowing the acupressure/acupuncture points is the basis for the lethal strikes of this art as well as the healing aspects that are an important part of it

This material was collated some years ago, and although has some good conceptual stuff, has little practical value.
