Shiatsu, which is roughly defined as "finger pressure," draws on many traditional aspects of oriental medicine and western techniques to form a complete system of healing through touch. With Shiatsu massage, the healer focuses along natural energy lines of the body, called Meridians, and places you in a trance-like state, while freeing any "blocked" energy. Composer Llewellyn has incorporated many natural sounds among the instrumentals and vocals. This is an album capable of complimenting any relaxation or massage, but is essentially finely tuned for Shiatsu.
