Nini Melvin helps us to understand the body’s meridians, acupressure points and the Five Element theory through an artistically- crafted embodied experience. Hers is a rare and elegant choreography that weaves together beautiful photographs, inspiring thoughts, gorgeous calligraphy, and the reminder of the sacred ground of Mother Earth that connects us all to the greater cosmos. With each turn of the page, we are drawn into our own healing, but also to the healing of our planet that is necessary for our human survival.
