Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses finger pressure to press key healing points which stimulate the body’s own natural healing. Based on Chinese Medicine and the meridians, Acupressure was developed over 5000 years ago.
Chinese Medicine views the body as subject to principles and laws of harmony and balance. They believe that mental states and emotions have an influence in disease as well as physical factors, like relationships, work, and the environment which all play a role in a person’s health.
When you experience emotional stress and trauma, the body may contract and harden like protective armour to shield your inner self. This tension prevents energy from circulating freely inside your body which may lead to various emotional or physical imbalances. If you do not deal with these tensions that arise, emotional problems may stay buried but will come to the surface once they are triggered by another stressful event or situation.
Blockages in energy whether from injury, trauma, or stress can be traced to the root of all health problems. Your energy affects how you breathe, think and feel. Negative thoughts can
block your flow of energy, and positive thoughts keep your energy freely flowing. Various emotional imbalances and physical symptoms result when the body’s life force energy becomes blocked.
Acupressure has an advantage in that it works directly with the body’s meridian system to relieve physical ailments, muscular tension, and emotional imbalances associated with them.
Acupressure’s healing touch relieves pain and muscular tension, increasing circulation and enables deep relaxation. By relieving stress, Acupressure promotes overall good health and promotes wellness.
