Acupressure Basic
~
"Acupressure is an ancient (Asian) healing art. Finger pressure is
used on key points to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities.
It encourages the release of muscular tension, the increased circulation of
blood, and the flow of the body's vital life force (chi) simply by pressing
these special points. Like acupuncture, acupressure accesses the
energy of the body through the points and meridian pathways - to influence
the health and well-being of a person.
In this system, symptoms are
considered an expression of the state of the whole body. For instance,
a tension headache may originate in the shoulder and neck area. Using
points, acupressure can not only relieve the local head pain and discomfort,
but also reestablish the body's balance - before the stress and strain can
cause more problems in other areas of the body." ~ from

Acupressure:
The Extraordinary Vessels
In Asian medicine, health is defined as
“duality, balance and flow”, and the Essential Substance of focus for
achieving this is Qi (Ch’i, Ki, or Vital Energy). There are many techniques
for moving Ki, and the main technique in Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT, the
oldest branch of Asian medicine) is acupressure. Acupressure is the pressing
of acupoints with the fingers and thumbs. In this course, participants will
use knowledge and experience gained in Acupressure Basic (the prerequisite
course) to learn of the following Vessels and significant points:
·
The
Regulator (Linking) Vessels (Yin and Yan Wei Mei).
·
The
Bridge (Muscle Energy Balancing) Vessels (Yin and Yang Qiao Mei).
·
The
Central (Conception and Governing) Vessels (Ren Mai and Du Mai).
·
The
Penetrating and Belt Vessels (Chong Mai and Dai Mai).
·
Master Points.
·
Energy Gates.
·
Calming Points.
At the end of
the course the participant will be able to balance each of the Vessels by pressing
certain acupoints in a prescribed flow.

Acupuncture for Labor Pain and Acupressure
for Menstrual Pain.
Two new studies
suggest that acupuncture and acupressure may ease labor pains and menstrual
discomfort, respectively. A British review of three studies of acupuncture
showed that women receiving acupuncture during labor requested less pain
medication than those who got conventional care, were satisfied with
treatment and, in one study, were more relaxed in the birthing process than
women in a comparison group. However, the reviewers concluded that
additional studies are needed to confirm that acupuncture can reliably
control labor pains. Results were published in the November 2004 issue of
the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Another study,
from Taiwan, published in the November 2004 issue of the Journal of
Advanced Nursing, found that 20 minutes of acupressure eased acute
menstrual pain better than 20 minutes of bed rest. The acupressure was
applied with the thumb at a point the width of three fingers above the bone
on the inside of the ankle. Pressure was applied for six seconds and
released for two seconds repeatedly during two five-minute cycles on each
leg.
