This analytical guide delves into the fundamental principles and philosophy of Shiatsu, examining technical, cultural, energetic, and conceptual elements. Divided into three parts and based on two decades of international experience, Ivan Bel first returns to the basic technical principles of Shiatsu, then explores the complexities of the mind/body theory that focuses on humans, and finally expands on the philosophical aspects of natural health.

Concepts and questions often excluded from practical Shiatsu resources are carefully explained, including internal cleansing and purity, energy connection, and the impact an individual's environment can have on their health. Enriched with case studies and accessible language, it is ideal for both students and professionals of Shiatsu.

Exploring the 'why' as well as the 'how', this essential resource allows teachers and students to expand their knowledge and perception for a more comprehensive and flexible understanding of this ancient art.
