The following technique of acupressure you can do on your own. Receiving an acupressure session you will learn what it feels like to have a balanced body-mind-spirit. I will also teach you specific pressure points that will address your particular form of stress and pain so you can have more refined self-care.

Self-Healing: Acupressure

One of the basic techniques of acupressure is holding 2 points on the body and listening, then feeling what is going on in your own body and under your fingertips. With this deep type of listening, acupressure allows us to work with our own energy flow to balance out the energies that release blocks and painful stress patterns, so we can attain optimal health in our body.

Self-Healing Technique:

1. Choose any 2 points on the body to hold that are tight or sensitive. Place one finger or thumb on each point.

2. Feel what is going on under your fingertips, breathe, listen actively sensing your own body and what is happening under your 2 points, wait, allow, and notice. Touch the points gently and with focused attention. (This is not a massage.) You don’t have to press hard to feel what is going on. (Sometimes if you are pressing to hard you cannot feel what the energy is doing.) Visualize the connection of energy between the two points; this supports the flow of energy.

3. Observe the interaction between the points. When the points release heat, cold, pulsate at the same time, soften, or tingle you can choose to let go of the points. Sometimes you might desire to stay longer which is fine too. The release usually takes between 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

As you connect points, be aware of the energy between the points.
Get a sense of it.
Tune into any and all sensations in your body and under your fingertips.

4. Switch points. You can switch both points or you can hold one point with one hand and move the other hand to a different point: For example, left hand stays on one point such as on the back of the neck, and the right hand moves to different points such as a point on the shoulder, then the elbow then the wrist which creates a deeper release under the neck point area from the left hand. This moves the energy out and down the arm to release neck and shoulder tension.

5. Have fun and play around with different points. Explore your whole body. Find out where you are tight and sensitive and how different points support and release each other. Some will be more effective than others. This type of exploration allows you to work with and strengthen your own innate healing abilities.

Thank you for your willingness to learn and raise you awareness to heal yourself. Love and Blessings, Lottie
