Connecting Through Touch,
The Couples Massage Book
Discover the intimate power of touch . . .
There are more than 40,000 nerve endings in the human hand. With a little good advice and a lot of loving and sensitive practice, you can learn to turn each one of these points into a powerful tool for improving communication, deepening intimacy, and sharing love.
Written by a founding member of the world-famous Esalen Massage program at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, this book guides couples through a sensual and restorative massage exchange. As your massage technique improves and you become more confident, you’ll enter into a profound nonverbal dialogue with your partner, learning much from the simple act of contact with another body. This intimate practice can enhance communication, relieve stress and tension, and bring more joy into your life through the healing power of touch.
All of the techniques are illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Elegant and refined, this book is a perfect gift for a special someone or a friend in love.

How to make a deep and meaningful connection with your partner's body.
Discover a combination of massage and bodywork strokes from the most time-honored massage traditions.
