Process Acupressure is a body/mind/soul modality that works with the whole person to further health, well-being and soul-centered development. It is based on the idea that
the body, mind and soul are fundamentally linked
and that the state of one has an effect on the state of the others.
 This perspective, that all parts of a human being, and nature itself, are connected and dependent on each other, can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese
mapped out energy pathways (meridians) throughout the body around 3,000 years ago. They have been using them as a health reference ever since. Similarly, the ancient Indians
defined the energy centers (chakras) of the body. Their healthcare approaches worked to harmonize the energy systems of the body. This was done by stimulating points located along the meridians or in the
chakras. Process Acupressure uses this ancient knowledge, combined with contemporary psycho-spiritual understanding, to promote health and self-responsibility for wellness.
How is Process Acupressure Performed?
Typically, a PA session takes from 1 to 1 1/2 hours. You'll lie fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner applies gentle pressure to your acupoints. Normally the session has several phases:
As a state of relaxation ensues. you may become aware of issues within your body and/or consciousness. As the session progresses, you may go into a deeper state of awareness, beneath surface tension, to access
clarity or guidance about the issues at hand. Finally, integration and completion of the process occur as the session is closed by chakra balancing and grounding.
Process Acupressure can address many common physical symptoms, including back problems, headaches, respiratory, digestive and systemic problems as well as colds, flu, allergies and healing from injuries.
Through many years of research, over 100 specific acupressure protocols were developed to provide therapy for all parts of the body and many specific conditions. PA is especially helpful with stress-related
conditions, including post-traumatic stress. It is not appropriate for severe medical problems or psychosis and does not supplant medical care.
How Does Process Acupressure Help You?
In acupressure, finger pressure is used to stimulate "acupoints" (the same used in acupuncture) on the body's surface. Pressure on specific
combinations of acupoints help open and balance energy pathways that have been restricted. This helps alleviate pain and various dysfunctions, and brings greater harmony and function into all the other systems.
Process Acupressure also helps promote better health and renewed energy by actively involving you in your own healing and growth processes. It teaches you to become more aware of your body and your
"process"--that is, your particular history, style and patterns of thinking, feeling, behavior, health and illness. It teaches you how to respect and
follow this process as your own unique path to health and growth. You will more readily recognize the subtle things you do to foster, or suppress, the natural growth process. You can learn new ways to help yourself
and how to change those patterns that are not working.
