The Book of Massage

Lucinda Lidell’s 1984 guide presents massage as a holistic practice that bridges physical relaxation and intuitive connection. The text serves as an illustrated manual for readers interested in the therapeutic and spiritual dimensions of touch, moving beyond purely clinical applications to explore how manual therapy can foster mind-body integration. Lidell’s approach is accessible and grounded in the holistic health movement of the era, offering practical techniques for self-care and partner work while emphasizing the emotional and energetic benefits of the practice.
