Mary Atkinson presents an easy-on-the-eyes instruction manual on the art of Indian Head Massage that is accessable to even those who have never done massage before. Beautiful pictures and artwork and step-by-step instruction help set the stage for a great experience for you, your family and friends, or clients alike.

Also includes choices of vegetable and essential oils, relaxation techniques for before and after the treatment, and self-care treatments. This book really seems to embrace a mind/body/spirit philosophy that shows respect and caring for the recipient as well as the caregiver/practitioner.

I got this book as a present and was initially sceptical but I really liked the clear guidelines and nice glossy photographs. I found the case studies useful - particularly dealing with headaches and massaging your children. My children love giving me head massages now, and following the photographs. It's refreshingly non-cranky but it does have some spiritual info too.

This book lacks some of the organization that other massage books have, i.e., it does have chapters but they don't seem to follow a pattern. It does, however, have some excellent photographs and is quite relaxing to browse through.
