Acupressure

One of the surest way to be healthy is via Acupressure. I will discuss the key points which is very beneficial. 

What is Acupressure?
Our Human Body which consists of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space are controlled by the Electricity of the body known as Bio-Electricity {Chetna} which comes from the non-changeable Life Battery. This Battery has been installed in our body at the time of our conception.Out of this battery, Bio-Electricity passes in the body through Meridians. 

Each Meridian starts  from the tip of each finger of the right hand, goes over all the body and ends in the toes of the right leg. Similarly with the left side. There are total 10 Meridians (5 right side and 5 left side)

If for any reason, the Bio-Electricity does not reach any part of the body, that part is malfunctioning accompanied by pain. 

Acupressure is art of sending this Bio-Electricity to all the desired parts of the body.

Acupressure means the art of staying healthy or treating diseases by applying pressures on specific points with the help of one’s thumb or blunt things.There are around 900 points all over the body.

Where to Apply?

Palms and WristsFeet

Our Palms and Wrists in Hand(front and Back) and Feet(front and Back) till the ankle are like human switch boards. See the above figure. The ankles are not shown, but they are included. Also there are some other points on the body, but we will take the above only for discussion, which is the most important.

Example:
1. If you want to switch on the Light you will press a specific button (acupressure points). That button will allow the current to flow in the bulb(human organs). The bulb glows.

2. Suppose our wash basin gets choked. We get a hand pump, put water in the wash basin and keep on pumping with the hand pump to clear the choke/block from the pipe(meridians).

The above 2 examples throw light in clearing a choke/block in our meridians, via pressing the specific points on our human switch boards. This allows the current (bio-electricity {Chetna}) flow through these meridians properly and making the relevant organs healthy.

How to apply pressure?
Vertical Pressure by thumbHorizontal Pressure by thumb






Pressure to be applied by pressing with the thumb or first finger on the point  or by massaging that point and around it clock wise. We can use a blunt pencil or other similar wooden objects. The pressure is to be applied intermittently like pumping. No continued pressure to be done.

Do I need to study all points?
No. There is a simple way. Press all the points for at least one time. If there is pain on a specific point, it means the relevant organ is having problem. You need not know what it is. Just press the same point, where the pain is there for 51 times (maximum) or less if the pain has stopped. Then continue with other points.

Motto: If you feel pain, press it out.

Should I do it on Hand or Legs or both?
Any one is enough either both the hands or legs. It is easier to do with our thumb on our hands(left thumb for right hand and vice-versa) and there are some acupressure accessories, like slippers which you can wear and walk for feet. After taking a hot water bath if we walk with acupressure slippers for 5-10 minutes it will have a wonderful effect.

When to do?
Anytime in 24 hours. Only do not to within 1 hour of having breakfast or meal. During this period it is ineffective but no side effects.

How many times in a day?
One time only. But if there is pain on specific points, 3 times in a day for those specific points.

Any other pointers?
  • Left hand side controls the left part and right hand side controls the right part.
  • There are no side effects. But do not press points very hard and for a long time, just imagine if your do the same with our actual switch boards, the buttons may become weak.
  • In the end always apply pressure (10 times at least) at the center of the palm, which is the kidney point. It will flush away any toxins.  
  • We can also clap hands loudly for some time in a day, instead of pressing all points. This is a shortcut method.  In India , the scientific reasons for doing kirthan/bhajans was acupressure.  
  • There are other acupressure apart from the hands and legs mentioned above.
  • One Additional Point which is very useful to Activate our Bio-Electric current and remain youthful. This point is must for people above age 40.  Right Hand Forearm Center Point press for 10 times in a day. See Fig Below:

  • More details of Acupressure you will get on internet.  
Wisdom Pointer: Acupressure is one of the simplest, surest and natural way to be healthy.
