Acupressure for Emotional Healing offers relief at your fingertips, quickly & safely, for a wide range of emotional problems. It explains how emotional distress becomes lodged in the body as muscular tension & blocked energy, & shows how acupressure can relieve not just the resulting physical symptoms, but also their emotional source
- often without the need for extensive talk therapy or medication. Acupressure stimulates the same points used in acupuncture, but instead of needles, firm finger pressure is used on the surface of the skin. The pressure releases neurochemicals called endorphins that relieve pain. As in acupuncture, specific pressure points are connected with internal organs & energy pathways in the body (called meridians) that regulate the flow of electrical energy to all systems. Unlike acupuncture, acupressure can be used safely by anyone, with only the hands as equipment. Acupressure for Emotional Healing offers a comprehensive A-Z guide to emotional ailments (from abandonment to worry & obsessive thinking), with fully-illustrated instruction on dozens of precise acupressure point locations & how to activate them, combined with yogic breathing, stretching, & movement routines. Case histories from the authors' practice further illuminate each condition & the path to emotional balance & healing. Most routines can be used independently for self-care & on-the-spot relief. There are also sections on how to use the techniques to help others, with appropriate safeguards.
