and concentration, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, nasal obstruction, low
energy, prolapse of the rectum.
To activate your body’s self-healing power, first locate of
the acupressure points that you need to work on for your specific needs. Apply
firm pressure is the most fundamental technique. Use thumbs, fingers, palms, the
side of the hand, or knuckles to apply steady, stationary pressure to the point
for 1-2 minutes.
A general guideline to follow is that the pressure should be
firm enough so that it hurts a little. The more developed the muscles are, the
more pressure you should apply. If you feel extreme sensitivity or pain,
gradually decrease the pressure until you find a balance between pain and
pleasure. Do not continue to press a point that is excruciatingly painful.
