Shantala: A traditional art, children's massage

Used book in good condition

The weeks following birth are like crossing a desert. A desert populated by monsters: new sensations from within assault the child's body.

After the warmth of the mother's breast, after the crazy embrace that is birth, the icy solitude of the cradle. And then a wild beast emerges, hunger, which bites the baby in the entrails.

What frightens the unfortunate child is not the cruelty of the injury. It is its novelty.

And this death of the world around him which gives the ogre immense proportions.
