The Healing Dance By Grace Sunga Asagra
Healing, says Grace Sunga Asagra, is a slow dance and weave that allow the giver, through touch, to send and receive a message of healing to a given part of the body. Asagra, a native of the Philippines, is an expert in both eastern and western healing traditions. In The Healing Dance she weaves her story of the traditional, indigenous healing of the Philippines with experience and wisdom. Asagra includes a brief history of Asian healing arts and how the traditions of various cultures from Thai massage to Filipino hilot are related. She adds poetry, recipes for traditional healing foods, and advice for both the giver and receiver of healing touch, as well as a beautifully illustrated guide to massage techniques. One of the few written records of Filipino Hilot, this book is a must for anyone interested in indigenous healing and massage techniques.
“I have been receiving healing massages from Grace, regularly, for the past two years. After the reading Grace’s new book,” The Healing Dance”, I realize how truly amazing they are!. Healing is so much more than touch. There is meaning behind all that Grace does. Reading the book was fun, learning experience. I may even attempt to give Jack a massage. Even the cover of The Healing Dance has meaning. In fact, I enjoyed the book cover to cover.”
