Principle behind Acupressure
The basic principle behind the acupressure is that our body is made of 5 elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space) and these 5 elements are being controlled by the electricity of the body known as Bio-Electricity. This battery has been installed in our body at the time of conception. Out of this battery electric current passes in the body through the lines as shown in the meridian diagram. These lines are known as “Meridians” start from the top of each finger of the right hand side, go all over the body and end in the toes of the right foot and so also on the left side. Now, as long as this current of electricity flows properly in the body, the body remains fit and healthy. If for any reason this current does not reach any part of the body, there is malfunctioning of that part accompanied by pain in some cases, if not attended to in time, it may invite illness. So, if the current (using acupressure) is properly sent to the affected parts, the pain, if any, would subside and the disease of malfunctioning of that part would be cured. Thus Acupressure is the Science of Nature which teaches us to cure diseases through the in-built mechanism of the body – the technique of how to send the current to all the desired parts of the body.
What Hands/Feet/Ears represent
As we are image of God and Universe; in other words, human body represents universe; human handy represents human body and eventually represents universe. Same thing with feet, ears etc. In other words, all of our body’s acupressure points are also located in our both hands; same thing with feet and ears. e.g. If we have a hologram holding a picture of car and we break the hologram to number of pieces, then each and every piece of hologram will have complete picture of the car.
In other words, the switch board of electric current flowing in our body is located in the palms and soles. In the following figures you will see the location of the different switch points. In these figures you will find the names of the organs and endocrine glands to which these switch points are connected. Most of the organs and endocrine glands are in the right or the left side of the body and so their corresponding points are on the right or the left palms and soles. However, as the heart and the spleen are on the left side of the body, their corresponding points are only on the left palm and sole. Similarly, since, the liver, gall bladder and appendix are on the right side of the body and so their corresponding switches are only on the right palm and sole.
In the same way, the points of all the organs like eyes, throat, ears, heart, lungs, stomach etc. which are in front of the body are shown in front in palms and soles, and the points of spinal cord, nerves, optic nerve, allergy etc. are on the back side of our body.
Suggestions for Health
- Press all the fingertips and palm points for 5 minutes. You can use the acupressure ball of roller.
- Press all the points on the feet for 5 minutes. You can use acupressure roller or mat.
- If any particular point is paining, then apply additional pressure (like pumping).
-
The amount of pressure that needs to be put on points is around 5 pounds. You can test this by placing your thumb on weighing machine and press the thumb so that the reading is around 5 pounds. This way you will get an idea how much to put on points.
Detection as per Dr. Vohra
There are a lot of different hands and/feet charts by numerous authors, but the advantage of following charts are: you can diagnose various diseases depending upon what combinations of points are paining; and not only the diagnosis, you can press the same combination to cure the identified disease. The amount of pressure that needs to be put on points is around 5 pounds. You can test this by placing your thumb on weighing machine and press the thumb so that the reading is around 5 pounds. This way you will get an idea how much to put on points.
