ACUPRESSURE: THERAPY AND PRACTICE

Nature has provided in our body an 'in-built mechanism' to maintain these

machines like Heart, Lungs & Stomach and to repair them if need be. This science
of health which makes use of this in-built mechanism is popularly known as
Acupressure. This therapy is the most precious gift to mankind from the Creator
Himself.
The Acupressure therapy was known in India even 5000 years ago, (accord-
ing to Sushrut Samhita). Unfortunately, it was not preserved property and went to
Sri Lanka and other countries in the form of Acupuncture. From Sri Lanka this
therapy was taken to Japan by Buddhist monks or nomadic Aryans took it there.
This therapy was known to the Red Indians way back in the sixteenth century.In
the twentieth century, researches have been made in the U.S.A. which have con-
tributed greatly to the development of this therapy. It is practised by many Allo-
pathic and Naturopathic doctors there.Now, the World Health Organization, too,
has paid attention to this simple and easy therapy.
Principle: As mentioned in Chapter 2 our body consists of five basic ele-
ments:
Human

Body






Wood/Earth Water Fire Air Space

Controlled by Electricity of LIfe Battery

Known

as



chi (Positive) chen (Negative)

These five elements are controlled by the electricity of the body known in the
West as Bio-Electricity. The current of electricity. 'Chetana', comes from this non-
changeable Life Battery. This battery has been installed in our body at the time of
conception. The white dazzling light generated by this battery can be seen in the
middle of one's forehead with eyes closed, through certain Yogic methods. Many
people, including myself, have seen this light.
Out of this battery, electric current passes in the body through the lines shown
in fig. These lines known as 'Meridian's start from the tipof each finger of the right
hand, go all over the body and end in the toes of the right foot and so also on the

1
left side. Now so 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 accompained by pain in some
cases, if not attended to in time, it may invite illness. So, if the current is properly
sent to the affected parts, the pain, if any, would subside and the disease of mal-
functioning 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.

production of vibrations from birth till the end stage of the person, that's why it is commit-
ted as the place of atma or soul.

area i.e., by the tal hridaya marma. Urvi and ani marm are also the key factors for activation

heart as this improves its (heart) functions as well as the functions of the whole body.
