Hot Stone and Gem Massage Paperback – November 18, 2008

This is a very helpful book. There have been some books that I've read that have not done anything to really explain how to give a good massage. This is not one of those. This is one of the variety that conveys clearly what and how. There are some very nice massage oil recipes as well. I definitely recommend this one for anyone wanting to learn about hot stone massage.

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.

Perfect in every way... I got more than I bargained for. Lots of information in the book. I especially like the visual diagrams for technique. That alone made it wonderful! You won't be disappointed. Arrived very quickly and in great shape.

I understand that hot stone massage and such comes from a more spiritual origin, but with about half to a third of the book being spent on chakras and such it was less than I was hoping for.However, the parts I needed were all there, and it was very informative.

I love how this book tells you about directions for masage and stone layout paterns.

Omg I love this book is explaining every stone and is incredibly interesting happy to find it

I am pleased. I got exactly what I expected.

I have read almost half of this book already and I don't regret buying it AT ALL. Very well-researched, and translated properly from the German. I would buy more books from these authors. I can walk away from this book with a wealth of knowledge and expertise perhaps lacking in some American sources. it was exactly what I ordered, fresh and new, the price was right, and it arrived on time!
