Book Description
This is an illustrated practice manual designed as a guide for students who have already taken classes in Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage, (also called Sacred Sexual Healing Massage). This work was developed by Amara Karuna over many years, integrating many styles of pelvic massage bodywork. This is not a thorough training manual and is not intended for those who have no experience in pelvic massage. It contains explicit images of genital areas and how to do healing on them. This is a unique, slow and penetrating touch on the pelvic area, which most people have never experienced. It is relaxing, nurturing, healing and pleasurable all at once. This work draws from the techniques of sacred spot massage, Orgasmic Meditation, cranial sacral work, fascia release, Rivers of Love bodywork, Chi Nei Tsang, Taoist energy healing and cultivation, and deep tissue and acupressure bodywork. It integrates an awareness of the sacredness of our bodies and sexual energies, as well as the emotional distresses carried in the pelvic areas. This is very deep work that touches into our core channel energies, and can bring up strong emotions and be very transformative.

Book Description
Most people tend to idealize artists, writers, and others of the “creative class” as uniquely gifted.

Specific exercises draw on everything from acupressure and breathing techniques to Chi Kung movement and meditation. Through Chi Awareness, the body, mind, emotions, and spirit come into greater harmony. Through guided imagery, they dialogue. Through journaling, they speak. Through art, they join in creative expression of the inner discoveries along the path to greater balance and integration. Chi and Creativity is the authors’ way of sharing this magical transformative process and can be used by anyone who wants to add fuel to their creative fires.

With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential.
