This is an illustrated practice manual designed as a guide for students who have already taken classes in Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage, (also called Sacred Sexual Healing Massage). This work was developed by Amara Karuna over many years, integrating many styles of pelvic massage bodywork. This is not a thorough training manual and is not intended for those who have no experience in pelvic massage. It contains explicit images of genital areas and how to do healing on them. This is a unique, slow and penetrating touch on the pelvic area, which most people have never experienced. It is relaxing, nurturing, healing and pleasurable all at once. This work draws from the techniques of sacred spot massage, Orgasmic Meditation, cranial sacral work, fascia release, Rivers of Love bodywork, Chi Nei Tsang, Taoist energy healing and cultivation, and deep tissue and acupressure bodywork. It integrates an awareness of the sacredness of our bodies and sexual energies, as well as the emotional distresses carried in the pelvic areas. This is very deep work that touches into our core channel energies, and can bring up strong emotions and be very transformative.

The effective yet gentle 'Sukshma' technique, for working with the Marma points at the emotional as well as on the physical level, is fully described in this book. Marma Therapy - the art of treating specific vital points on the human body - is one of the greatest healing secrets of Ayurveda. It can be used to detoxify, strengthen and revitalize the body, for rejuvenation and relaxation or to release blocked energy. The authors explain the theoretical basis of Marma Therapy, and then provide a detailed, fully illustrated guide to its use. For each Marma point, the authors provide information about its significance, the Ayurvedic element it relates to, the most appropriate oils to use, and what it can be used to treat. Clear step-by-step instructions and photographs illustrate the techniques, and advice is also included for self-treatment. The authors explain how to strengthen the Marmas through yoga and use mudras to support and complement Marma treatment. Finally, they describe how to treat common physical and emotional conditions, from headache and back pain, to exam nerves and insomnia.
