Life Pulse Massage: Taoist Techniques for Enhanced Circulation and Detoxification by Mantak Chia and Aisha Sieburth

Life Pulse Massage: Taoist Techniques for Enhanced Circulation and Detoxification explores Mantak Chia and Aisha Sieburth’s system of abdominal bodywork. The illustrated guide relates massage to the authors’ ideas about blood, chi and pulse relationships throughout the body.

Their discussion centers on the navel region and describes a network of master and subsidiary pulses within the practice’s traditional framework. The book should not be treated as evidence that abdominal massage corrects blood pressure, clears blood vessels or cures disease. Readers should seek qualified medical assessment for symptoms and professional guidance before considering therapeutic abdominal massage.
