The power of touch. The TouchLife® method is a complementary and holistic form of massage that has been scientifically supported since 2010. It combines the most effective techniques from around the world and is based on five pillars: massage techniques, conversation, energy balance, breathing, and mindfulness. The training to become a certified TouchLife® practitioner includes at least 300 hours. However, the fundamentals of the art of mindful touch can be learned by anyone who embraces the guiding principle of the two authors: awareness of body and mind. This book is intended for those who wish to provide a harmonious massage performed with mindfulness in a private setting and want to ensure that everything is done correctly. Guidelines on when not to massage complete this foundational work for massage beginners, which is illustrated with numerous informative step-by-step photos.
