This book is theculmination of her experiences, presenting techniques she developedthrough studying a variety of methods and working with her clients.Eden's work is based on the premise of an "energy body," made up ofchakras, meridians, auras, strange flows and Celtic weaves. Healinginvolves balancing these energies for optimal physical health andwell-being, pain management and vitality. With simple illustrations,Eden presents clear instructions for many do-it-yourself orwith-a-partner techniques that involve tapping, tracing, smoothing andmassaging, as well as more than 100 quick fixes for relieving commonailments and stresses.
