As Ohashi notes "the body is the physical manifestation of your soul," your posture, your features, and the texture of your skin can tell you who you are. This is not just a book about health and shiatsu; it is a guide to living well. The goal of oriental diagnosis is to find unity of body, mind and spirit. It emphasises that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and that accommodating one's weaknesses is as important as utilising one's strengths.
