| acupressure free download: Acupressure Taping Hans-Ulrich Hecker, Kay Liebchen, 2007-04-24 Combines acupressure and massage to treat pain using elastic tape • Shows how the use of an elastic, adhesive tape works with the body’s own motions to combine the actions of acupressure and massage • Presents both therapeutic and preventative techniques for acute and chronic pain • Contains step-by-step instructions illustrated in full color detailing how to self-treat pain in all parts of the body Sufferers of chronic pain well know the frustration of treatments involving endless rounds of drugs or expensive physical therapy--that may or may not offer relief. In Acupressure Taping, authors Hecker and Liebchen present a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment--acutaping--which offers a much simpler and more effective alternative. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged. The authors show that most bodily dysfunctions can be self-treated through this innovative method. Combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines. Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment--without side effects--that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain. |
| acupressure free download: Acupressure for Emotional Healing Michael Reed Gach, PhD, Beth Ann Henning, Dipl., A.B.T., 2008-11-19 Increased stress and traumatic events in our lives have resulted in many millions of people who suffer from insomnia, nightmares, anxiety attacks, depression, and tension headaches. ACUPRESSURE FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING offers relief at your fingertips, quickly and safely, for a wide range of emotional problems. It explains how emotional distress becomes lodged in the body as muscular tension and blocked energy, and 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 and 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 and obsessive thinking), with fully-illustrated instruction on dozens of precise acupressure point locations and how to activate them, combined with yogic breathing, stretching, and movement routines. Case histories from the authors' practice further illuminate each condition and the path to emotional balance and healing. Most routines can be used independently for self-care and on-the-spot relief. There are also sections on how to use the techniques to help others, with appropriate safeguards. |

EFT is an Easy Type of Chinese Acupressure, Puncture without Needles or Hard Pressure. EFT is applied by 'TAPPING', activating energy points, meridians on/in the body with the fingertips.

| acupressure free download: Meridian Metaphors Bruce Dickson, Bruce Dickson Mss, 2011-11-30 Did you ever wonder how our habit body tracks and manages our mental-emotional activity? Ever think Chinese Medicine had some good yet incomplete ideas about how psychology and the body connect? Ever wonder what else has been learned about meridian-muscle-organ-psychology since Applied Kinesiology and Touch for Health became public 40 years ago? Did you ever wish for a simple reference manual to look up, to gain insight into, and see more deeply and clearly into wellness concerns? Here's an 100 page (in 8x10 format) handbook-manual with all this organized for easy reference.

Earlier literature is rectified. - An Axis of Dysfunction is proposed for each meridian-organ between the dysfunctional OVERcharged condition and dysfunction UNDERcharged condition.

Written for counselors and practitioners of all kinds, this is a reference MANUAL for wellness coaches, intuitive counselors and holistic practitioners. It condenses and better organizes the brilliant insights of William F. Whisenant's monumental Psychological Kinesiology (1994) adding to it many observations from other sources and the clinical practices of the author and other practitioners.

How acupressure works Nobody knows how acupressure works. Very often pain is caused by a self-perpetuating mechanism: pain causes the mind to be attentive to pain, that, in turn causes more pain and even more attention, and so on. Most likely acupressure works by interrupting this vicious circle. How does acupressure interrupt the cycle? Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimensional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor and reduce pain. Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to temporal reduction of mind's attention to pain, interruption of pain cycle, and following complete cessation of pain. |

It is based on the scientific knowledge of medical sciences of one of the greatest ancient civilizations known to man, the Chinese art of healing. Believe it or not, mankind is still as ignorant of matters regarding health today, as he was 5,000 years ago. Even though he thinks that he is intelligent and is able to get access to large amounts of knowledge on the Internet and from other medias available, the knowledge that he obtains is often misguiding, false, and misleading. And this includes all the knowledge that he is being given about the progresses of medical sciences, in the allopathic medicine field which have been made during the 20th and 21st century. Allopathic medicine supposedly called a science-based medicine is definitely not effective, however much the medical fraternity may say that it has saved millions of lives in the 20th century. That is because once upon a time, chloroquine manufactured in the lab was capable of getting rid of malaria. So people instead of taking quinine-based medicines, which were the natural and effective cure for malaria began to take chloroquine instead because that is what was being recommended to them by doctors. And the next time a person came back suffering from another bout of malaria, he was given another round of Chemoquine or chloroquine manufactured in the labs instead of getting healed naturally through quinine. The symptoms were masked instead of being done away with permanently through these chemical-based drugs. The patient was happy because according to him, he had managed to get through a bout of malaria, without suffering much, because of supposedly effective Chemoquine. But that was not so. Malaria along with other diseases have now appeared and in a more powerful form, with the bacterial invaders mutating and infecting more patients. So what does the supposedly Orthodox medical science do? It manufactures even more powerful drugs so that you take them, get rid of that particular mutated bacterial strain infecting your body, and nobody is going to take the side effects into account. |
