Chapter 1 — What is Acupressure? Acupressure uses hands, fingers, and sometimes other tools to stimulate the acupoints around the body, acupressure points chart free download pdf. Stimulation helps balance the flow of life energy throughout the energy meridians of the body, which empowers it to begin the healing process.
In traditional Chinese medicine, we learn that there are several energy pathways, called meridians, throughout your body in which your Chi, the acupressure points chart free download pdf of life itself, ebbs and flows.
When the flow of energy is disturbed, acupressure points chart free download pdf, it results in physical and emotional deterioration over long periods of time that can manifest in your body as chronic illness and mental instability.
An imbalance in the flow of this life energy can be solved via the art of acupressure, the act of stimulating points along the meridians, known as acupoints, with your fingers or other objects. With proper stimulation, the energy of the meridians can be balanced and your health and emotions restored to normal function.
All you have to do is follow along with the video and image guides in order to experience the healing power of acupressure in just a few moments. How did humans discover the art of acupressure, which can balance our meridian energy and heal our bodies?
In the absence of modern science, primitive humanity searched far and wide for ways to alleviate their suffering. Many societies, including ancient China, discovered things like herbal remedies, aromatherapy, and massage, all of which are still in use today.
But how did ancient humans identify the invisible energy flowing throughout our body, and discover that it can be manipulated with acupressure and acupuncture? The answer may lie in modern spiritual circles, where some spiritually adept individuals have reported that they can actually see the acupuncture meridians flowing throughout the body with their own eyes.
This makes sense for those of us that believe the stories of psychically sensitive individuals who can see auras. Nobody knows exactly when ancient humans discovered the energy meridians and developed acupressure, but we do know that ancient China was practicing acupuncture as early as BC, because one of the earliest Chinese healing texts was written around that time. Despite its ancient origins, acupressure is still being modified and improved by its enthusiasts.
Ancient peoples first started manipulating the meridian energy of the body by using fingers to put pressure on specific acupoints. Later on, they discovered that using objects such as needles could be even more effective at stimulating the meridian acupoints.
Today, acupressure is acupressure points chart free download pdf more casual technique that is often used at home by amateurs, whereas acupuncture requires hundreds of hours of training and has strict license requirements to practice on others.
Both healing techniques can balance your Chi, but most experts consider acupuncture needles to be more powerful than finger pressure at stimulating the meridians. Acupressure is focused on stimulating specific acupoints around the body, whereas massage is focused on stimulating the physical muscles themselves. A regular muscle massage is bound to accidentally stimulate a few acupoints here and there, but only by accident, not by design.
Some reflexologists say this connection is via the meridians, but there is no widespread agreement on this claim. To practice Reiki, simply place your hands on or near a person whom you intend to heal, and use your mental intention to channel healing energy into their body. Although both practices involve the manipulation of Chi, acupressure is a stricter discipline because it requires knowledge of specific acupoints whereas Reiki does not.
The primary effort in Reiki is the mental intention of healing, whereas acupressure focuses on physical stimulation of the acupoints. Because Shiatsu has no standardized text that details how it should be performed, its practitioners have taken great liberty in creating their own spin-off versions of it. Many people dismiss energy healing as merely placebo effect, but what does the actual science say about it?
But secondly, you acupressure points chart free download pdf millions of people around the world that have used acupressure or other energy healing methods and profess their positive results. Since acupuncture theory is the same as acupressure theory, but each method simply uses different tools for meridian stimulation, you could assume that the results may carry over from one practice to another.

There have been many studies concerning the efficacy of acupuncture as a healing treatment, with some producing positive results and others producing no measurable results one way or the other.
But acupressure has been examined much less by the scientific community, and the acupressure points chart free download pdf is less conclusive on it than acupuncture. There appears to be some decent evidence that acupressure is effective at treating nausea and pain, but most other health issues require further study to produce definitive results.
The two fundamental steps to acupressure are choosing the right acupoints to use, and stimulating those points with physical pressure. When it comes to stimulation techniques, there are several variables such as the amount of pressure that you put on a point, whether your fingers are static or using a rubbing motion, and whether you prefer using your hands or a tool such as the ones discussed in Chapter 9.
You can also vary the length of time that you apply pressure to each point, with some books recommending anywhere from one minute to ten minutes of pressure per acupoint. The pressure you apply should not be strong enough to cause actual pain, although deep pressure may cause temporary muscle soreness. You should only use gentle pressure on an acupoint if you have an injury in that location, such as a cut or bruise. Preferences for all of acupressure points chart free download pdf above options differ among practitioners, but since acupressure is easy to learn, free to use, and quick to apply, you can try them all out yourself and see which methods you prefer.
I encourage you to look up free acupressure training videos on Youtube or elsewhere for the specific health condition or mental problem that you are trying to relieve.

It gives specific acupoint selections as well as pictorial guides of the various acupoints to press for treating emotions like anger, abandonment, depression, acupressure points chart free download pdf, numbness, jealousy, trauma recovery, and more.
The final book in my trio of recommendations is the Acupressure Atlas. This book is a complete guide to acupressure all by itself, featuring a guide to the acupuncture meridians in the beginning of the book, followed by instructions on how to practice acupressure.

A great place to find video training courses for acupressure is Udemy. comwhich has dozens of different video courses that are home made by various acupressure users.

A certification is something that any organization can give you, whereas a license is a permission slip from the government saying that you are allowed to practice in their jurisdiction. There may be some certifications offered by the providers of online training courses such as the ones linked to in the above section, or such as those from acupressure. There are also some private organizations that offer in-person training in traditional Chinese medicine, such as NCCAOM. Before you pursue certification from a private party, you should learn the licensure requirements for practicing acupressure in your local area.
In areas that do require licensure, a professional massage therapy license will usually be the quickest and cheapest license to acquire that would allow you to perform acupressure on patients for payment.
A professional energy healer can bring their years of experience to treat your health problem, often providing relief where science and drugs fail to perform. One option is to search for a traditional Chinese medicine provider through NCCAOM. But the best way to find an acupressure practitioner is to search for licensed acupuncturists in your area, and ask them individually if they provide acupressure massage, or if they can recommend someone who does.
A licensed acupuncturist typically has hundreds of hours of professional schooling, and will be able to pinpoint the best acupoints to relieve your specific health problem, whereas an acupressure practitioner may have much less experience since there is no formal license requirement to practice acupressure.
If traditional scientific medicine has failed to cure your health problems, I encourage you to consider all of the energy healing options available in your area.
There are many popular items you can use at home to maximize the effectiveness of your acupressure sessions. The most popular acupressure tool out there is the acupressure wrist band. You can read about some of them on our acupressure wrist band reviews page.
