About this audiobook
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.
Reviews:
“It is such a coherent book that is serves as a source of inspiration, even for experts. The Poetry of Touch has the makings of a classic. It is one of the best works ever written around the subject of bodywork and Oriental medicine.”
Mike Mandl
Author and Director of the International Academy for Hara Shiatsu in Vienna
“This is a masterful work that I recommend without reservation. Chris honors the diversity and full depth of East Asian medicine, a brilliant example of the path of mastery.”
Stephen Brown
Teacher and translator of texts on traditional Japanese medical arts.
“The Poetry of Touch is the life work of a man immersed in the healing arts of Shiatsu, acupuncture, Qigong and meditation. A man who has gone through his own healing journey, working on mastering his art. Chris McAlister captivates you with his wit, insights, devotion and ability to look at ancient concepts with fresh eyes.”
