Acupressure for Depression

Depression is a normal response to loss.

“Mourning the loss.”

Don’t make the mistake of feeling abnormal or weak if your feelings are intense, or if you struggle to recover.  Give yourself the strength.  It is already within.

depressionBL-67 Reaching Yin: Feminine strength and wisdom – the courage to welcome the pain of childbirth – this point is warmed to turn a breech baby – give it a pinch with your fingernail to turn a painful situation that is exhausting, leaving you feeling like you have nothing more to give, ready to throw in the towel.  Give yourself the strength and flexibility to turn it into your heart desire.

BL-58 Fly and Scatter: This point brings peace, order and harmony to scattered parts – thoughts and feelings – creating order from chaos – the strength and endurance to keep going and roll with the changes.

HT-1 Utmost Source (armpit): This point, being part of the Fire Element, warms our spirit and gives us an inner communion with the love of the divine – sharing in the spirit that pervades and sustains everything – to feel one with all.  It restores control of direction to your Heart after you have been controlled, taken from or hurt (abused).

SP-6 Three Yin Intersection: This point UNITES flexibility and determination with loving care and a plan for growth, allowing for TRANSFORMATION – even when you are ready to “throw up” your life bc you “can’t take it anymore!”

ST-40 Beautiful Bulge: A bulging bells is a symbol of satisfaction, prosperity and freedom – expansion and happiness (with child) – This point helps you “digest” hurtful experiences into value and growth, and the armor to deflect arrows.

GV-20 A Hundred Meetings: This point pulls all your parts together to resolve internal conflicts – “Pull Yourself Together!” – All of you considered and all of your needs met – bringing the wisdom and guidance of ancestors (spirit) to the meeting – transforming even the most “insane” situation into a sane and proper perspective.

Yin Tang (between eyebrows) Hall of Impression: This point is one of the “ghost points” which are used to treat mental illness.  In this case, a disconnection from reality – connecting you to the reality that you are source energy, and you are a gift from our Creator.

Heaviness

Do you Need to Lighten UP?!

Do you Feel Heavy?  Body, Mind, or Spirit?

Lighten UP.  It’s THIS SIMPLE!

Touch the points you see below, to massage or tap, or even just touch and hold…

…left side first, unless you can touch both sides at the same time…and read the description by the point.  Spend at least as much time thinking about the description and what it means to you, or what memories it brings up….while you massage the right side (or keep massaging both sides).

LI-5 Yang Ravine & LU-9 Great Abyss: A purification from abuse.  Honor what you lost, and love what you learned.  That provides the light, even a tiny light, across the Great Abyss.  Let it all go and focus on what is coming next.  Feel that in your body.

LI-5, LU-9

BL-64

BL-64 Capital Bone & KI-3 Supreme Stream: A baptism of water, in front of the Capital, in the Supreme (Spirit level) Stream to wash away any pollution that could cloud and compromise the perception and brilliance of your Spirit.  Feel it wash away, in front of everyone you know.

KI-3

 

BL-60 Kun Lun Mountains:  A mountain range in China storied to house Spirit Energy, which gives you the strength and ability to rise above our Earthly troubles.  What do you need to “rise above?”

BL-60

GB-25

GB-25 Capital Gate:  You return to the Capital if you lose it all, to take inventory of what you have left and to gather resources.  Take a moment to reflect on your resources, your strength and value, and consider what you need to gather next.

LV-14 Gate of Hope: Building/creating a contingency plan, to adapt to adverse conditions, to restore optimism.  Feel that in your body.

LV-14

GB-38 Yang Support: The energy of a loving daddy, picking you up, drying your tears, and reminding you what you love.  “No time to waste, there is a passion in your heart.”  Your loving momma says its ok if you need more time, but daddy is right, it’s time to move forward.

GB-38

TH-2 Fluid Gate: Heaviness on a physical level is fluid retention, so we flip our fluid regulation to evacuate water/heaviness.  Feel that, a button you can press to switch your Nervous System to remove resting water.  Heaviness that is just sitting there, filling up space.  Flip it to drain.

TH-2

SI-8 Small Sea: Wash away the pollution of feeling inferior to anyone in this small sea of pure spirit found deep within.  Fill up with your own enduring love and compassion.

SI-8

ST-41 Stream Divide:  Choosing the path of rising up, rising above, pulling it together, and putting your energy and resources into the direction of happiness.

ST-41

ST-40 Beautiful Bulge & SP-6 Three Yin Intersection:  These points heal up and shape up our lumps and bumps, align our values, and add the valuable lessons we just learned.

SP-6, ST-40

 

Flexibility

Do you Need to Loosen UP?!

Feeling tight, stiff, or immobile?

Increase your Flexibility.  It’s THIS SIMPLE!

Touch the points you see below, to massage or tap, or even just touch and hold…

…left side first, unless you can touch both sides at the same time…and read the description by the point.  Spend at least as much time thinking about the description and what it means to you, or what memories it brings up….while you massage the right side (or keep massaging both sides).

BL-40

KI-10 Yin Valley & SP-9 Yin Mound Spring & BL-40 Bend at the Crook: Encourage the perfect balance of dampness…too dry will break, and too damp will bend.  As strong and flexible as a bone.  Feel that strength and flexibility in your body.  Use two hands and touch all three at once.

SP-9

KI-10

TH-10 Celestial Well & SI-8 Small Sea: These are considered reservoirs of spirit within our body.  Spirit cannot be unwell or sick, but it can be clouded on a physical or mental level.  This connects you to Spirit within and lightens your entire being.

TH-10

LU-3, CX-2

LU-3 Celestial Storehouse & CX 2 Heavenly Spring:  The reserves and the eternal.  This gives the blind the ability to see, a different perspective.  Like a friend who grabs you by the arms to shake you out of a really poor decision.  Feel that ‘jolting’ kind of flexibility.

LV-4 Middle Mound & SP-5 Merchant Mound:  This removes the obstruction to seeing your toes, along with the flexibility to stretch your value.  A mound in the middle is associated with a lack of movement, and a merchant mound is moving so far as to climb to the highest place and share your value (goods, services, etc).  The Merchant is the best in the village to see value, and this is about seeing your own.

LV-4, SP-5

Do you Need Strength!?  To Keep Going?

Do you Want More Strength!?  To reach new levels?

LU-10

LU-10 Fish Border: Set your outlook to “finding the fish.”  When you find the fish, your day gets very focused, your heart feels excited appreciation and gratitude, and your spirit calms, knowing you have found what you need.  Set your outlook to seeing the body and strength changes you desire.  Visualize it being done.  (Now massage the Right Side and imagine!)

BL-58 Taking Flight & KI-7 Recover Flow: (Right hand on KI-7, Left on BL-58) Pulling scattered components together into harmony.  Visualize muscle repair accelerating like the HULK’s rapid healing superpowers.  KI-7 is like a factory reset, to return to original specifications and settings, aka full of spirit and infinite possibilities.  BL-58 is called the Tirelessness Point.  Feel recharged and tireless in your body.

KI-7

BL-58

TH-14 Shoulder Crevice: See and feel yourself being able to PUSH and/or PULL harder and farther.

TH-14

LI-5, LU-7

LI-5 Yang Ravine & LU-7 Broken Sequence: These two are powerful for letting go of hurt, including the breakdown of your body from pushing it to its limits.  Sort of the energy of a Warrior wrapping his wound and returning to battle, but with deep cellular healing.

LV-4

LV-4 Middle Seal:  A seal is an emblem, symbol or letter used as evidence of quality, authority or authenticity.  Picture your middle as you authentically desire.  What feels good to your heart?  Athletic and muscular?  Slender and fit?  Curvy and voluptuous?  Emboss (verb. carve or stamp)  that Middle Seal.
