Chris McAlister is currently one of the most prominent ambassadors of Shiatsu and the Asian
way of life in the West. In this comprehensive and easy-to-read book, he takes the reader on
a journey right into the heart of Oriental medicine and how it overlaps with modern Western
science and philosophy. The author’s profound knowledge and experience are conveyed by
stories peppered with personal experiences, case studies and anecdotes. Sometimes poetic and
sometimes straight from the heart, he explains how energy manifests itself, whether it’s the
Five Spirits, the I Ching or Traditional Chinese Medicine.
