Acupressure and Wellness
I recently was certified in Acupressure
Therapy as a course toward my ND, and
prior to taking the course I felt like
Acupressure was a little hokey, and
even more so was Acupuncture. But I
have gained a real appreciation for this
ancient therapy.
As I was taking the course, I started
incorporating the points into my
massage work and into my treatments
for my family. My oldest daughter woke
up vomiting one morning after I had just
learned the immune system points and
nausea points - and within an hour she
was jumping all over the place and I
couldn't convince anyone that she had
been sick that morning. I worked on a
lady who was coming off of her
depression medication, and she felt
much better in the next two weeks, she
also practices the points at home with
success. I also have worked on fellow
massage therapists who swear by the
techniques as being extremely helpful
for pain relief, and detoxification. I have
not seen something this effective and
this easy as a do it yourself kind of
thing, One of my required books for my
class is available to you as well from
Amazon, pictured above. If you have a
desire to help yourself through a
common ailment, get this book!
I'd like to share just a few points from the
last chapter of the book, with a little
Emma added. It is a simple program for
wellness using Acupressure techniques.
1st Deep breathing exercises - the
breath effectively energizes and
cleanses the body - shallow breathing
can't accomplish this.
Deep breathing can be accomplished in
many ways - meditation, Isometric
exercise, and actual deep breathing
techniques. Those should be practiced
with a professional.
2nd Stretching and daily aerobic
exercise resulting in healthy appetite,
positive attitude, and increase in vitality.
Sometimes it is not the severity of the
aerobic exercise that matters - it is the
breathing that gets accomplished - so
don't be afraid of yoga and tai chi, or
isometric exercises as well.
3rd choose foods wisely
Well if I haven't made it clear elsewhere
on this site - this will certainly clear
things up
Healthy Not so Healthy
Vegetables Processed foods
Whole Grains White Flour
Nuts/Beans Salt
Tofu and Miso Fried Foods
Fish and Seaweed Dairy Products
Fresh Fruits Red Meat
Chemical Additives
Coffee - any
Well - Ok - I'm not crazy about any soy
products - including Tofu, simply
because they can mess with you
hormones - but if you follow the main
rule in nutrition which is MODERATION,
any food that was put here by God for
human consumption is up for grabs. A
Fast Food Hamburger every day will
raise anyone's cholesterol to unhealthy
levels - but once in a while is not a death
sentence
Just as Soy is a phyto estrogen and
should only be used regularly in cases
of menopausal symptoms, a soy chip will
not cause a man to grow breasts. Use
the wisdom that God gave you to
discern what is too much. Variety is
important in all respects.
As for the Acupressure Points for
wellness, here's the simplified version -
for the real thing - read the book.
1. With Both hands behind your back at
waist level - fists formed, rub briskly on
either side of the spine up and down for
about 1 minute.
2. Hold one middle fingertip up between
eyebrows, above the bridge of the nose.
The other hand's fingertips at base of
skull. Tilt head back, close eyes, take 3
long deep breaths - continue this way
about 1 minute - concentrate on healing
energy entering your body.
3. Three finger widths below belly
button, hold that point about 1 minute
breathing deeply.
Acupressure has really helped me and
the people I've touched with it, so if you
have an open mind - give it a shot - and
even if you are skeptical, There's really
nothing to lose - simple, easy
techniques that can make a difference in
so many issues. And as you open your
mind to these things, and try them,
notice how much better you feel, and
pass it on.
