Ocean of Streams 2nd Ed.

Description

An invaluable colouring book containing the TCM Five Element meridians,and the Zen Shiatsu corresponding meridians.A section contains the residential tsubos, and illustrations of the Conception and Governing Vessels. By Veet Allan (2006) 312pp

After twelve years in print and acclaimed use by Shiatsu professionals and students worldwide the authorVeet Allan has revisited, remastered and expanded the original 'Oceans' book for this new and second edition.

Using modern digital illustration techniques Veet has completely redrawn and extended the original Zen Shiatsu based meridian system alongside theoretical material from Classical Chinese medicine to finally reflect his original vision for the book and subsequent practical and teaching experience.

All illustrations are designed for self-colouring. On completion by the student or practitioner they provide an accurate pictorial study of the meridians, tsubos or points of Oriental medicine alongside the organ, skeletal and muscualr systems of Western medicine.

* Double the volume of the original book
* Over 150 illustrations in greyscale and black line art
* Completely new and redesigned layout including new digital illustrations of the Primary (extra-ordingary vessels), namely the Du and Ren mai or Supervisor and controller vessels respectively
* Revised and expanded to now include 123 Point or residential Tsubo studies with their respective names in Chinese characters in addition to pinyin name and Western identification
* New chapter illustrated the skeletal, muscuar and organ systems of Western medicine in addition to the Oriental measurement system.
* New chapter on Diagnostics illustrates the basics of the Classical Chinese and Zen Shiatsu medical systems
* New chapter illustrated all the Zen meridians complimented by fully annotated and detailed Anatomical cross sections in key areas
* New Appendix illustrates the author's alternative Zen based diagnostic zones or schema for the head, back, chest and hara
* New Point/Tsubo indications index and glossaries of Chinese characters for the points, meridians and gerneral terminology

Fundamentally this work follows the guidelines of the baseline curriculum set by the Shiatsu Society for teaching students towards practitioner status in this country. As far as Veet John Allen, NRSS knows this is the first attempt at detailing and illustrating a Zen Shiatsu based system in relation to the aforementioned ones. It has proved difficult in various areas as the original charts and book sources consulted do contain errors of both artistic and technical origin. Subsequently it is hoped that by self colouring the illustrations and augmenting them with the theoretical sections, the student or practitioner will come into contact with these aspects and in doing so, provide themselves with pictorial guide of where the various systems may or may not be compatible.
