Amazing discussion for each element and meridian - linking the emotional, physical and energy functions. Priceless comparison with the TCM approach. The language is rich, colorful and so easy and pleasant to read. I've been thinking about selling back some of my other ZS book and keep only this one.. Everything you need to know Ceri Walker If you want to know about or practice Zen Shiatsu, this book has everything you need, with clear drawings and insightful text. CBC gives the practitioner all the information but also the correct attitude to approach each of the meridian pairs. This book can only enhance your understanding.. Stephen B. Salkof said A great study guide through Shiatsu school. Last year, I graduated from International School of Shiatsu in Doylestown, Pa. Prior to this school, I attended another Shiatsu school as well. Through both schools, this book was used as the main reference for me. I highly recommend this to anyone studying this wonderful art. It has all the detailed meridians, both standard and "Zen" and extensive info on the 5 elements. Buy it.you'll love it!!!
