Acupressure's Healing Touch & Intention
Therapeutic Pressure Points in Energy Work
Touch can awaken healing energy.
Every human being has the potential to heal and be healed. It can start with something as simple as a few deep breaths, which can clear your head and make you feel renewed and energized. Or maybe it’s through a friendly glance or a smile, or the kindness of going out of your way to help someone.
Healing can even come from a few sips of water, which moistens, nourishes, and enlivens your whole body. Beyond these everyday gifts, there are many simple healing methods to help ourselves and others obtain greater wellness. It takes focus and practice, however, to develop these abilities fully.

As I touch, I focus on deepening my breath and on my intention to heal from my heart. I know that my touch has the ability to communicate, beyond what words can say.

Acupressure Points
You, too, can learn how to touch points like this – to open healing energy. The Acupressure points are where this energy gets blocked, where pain and tension collect, and where you can use healing touch to balance energy.
Holding the points is one of the most powerful ways to do pure energy work, and transform physical and emotional problems. This is true when you are holding points on yourself, when you’re doing Acupressure for others, and also when you’re receiving an Acupressure treatment from someone else.

Healing Touch for Clients
Conscious touching with a healing purpose treats a client's body as a sacred vessel. Touching with the intention of awakening your client's healing energy expands your ability to send the Qi life force through your fingertips. Therapeutic Acupressure with conscious deep breathing amplifies your healing magnetism.
If your client has a tight muscle or joint pain, focus your attention on that tense or painful spot by gradually by touching the pressure points in your energy work. Slowly make direct contact with the pressure points which connect with the muscular tightness or pain.
Touch the pressure points with a therapeutic intention. Make sure your client is breathing slowly and deeply and is as relaxed as much as possible to increase the effectiveness of your therapeutic energy work.

Using Pressure Consciously
When an Acupressure point is held with just the right amount of pressure, it can reach depths within you. This can help you transcend the limitations and traps of negative thoughts and feelings. Instead of closing up in judgment, worry, doubt, or expectation, you can begin to relax and open up.
Safe Touch
When you’re being touched or held in a safe way, it supports you in letting go and coming back to feeling whole again. This is something you can learn to do for yourself and to share with others. Try this with any of the points you’re learning in the many sections of this website.
When you use touch in a conscious way with Acupressure points, your body opens, your breath opens, and thus you are renewed.
