About Acupressure

Acupressure supports the body's own balancing and healing processes. All parts of a human being, and nature itself, are interconnected and dependent on each other. Teachings about this perspective can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese mapped predictable energy pathways (meridians) throughout the body nearly 4000 years ago and have been using them as a health reference ever since. Ancient teachings from India inform us about major energy centers in the body (chakras). These traditions address the vital energies of the body, to facilitate balance, rejuvenation, and wellness. When we are more balanced, all the systems in the body are able to function optimally. We can handle stress in ways that reduce the impact on all systems and all levels of our being. Acupressure brings the profound healing potential of these ancient teachings into the contemporary treatment room. The experience of receiving this work is authentic and empowering. 

Why Is Acupressure So Effective Now?

Often described as "acupuncture without needles", acupressure promotes balance, renewed energy, rejuvenation, and wellness by accessing and addressing the vital energies of the body. It can be provided by Lorie, or she can teach you the technique to care for yourself. Self-care acupressure is especially suited to address the needs that arise from our culture that seems to be in perpetual chaos and crisis. This self-care Acupressure technique will help you provide for yourself a deep sense of connection through holding the acupressure points. Using a gentle but significant connection, you will learn to use acupressure to address stress reactions in the body using touch.

What is an On-line Acupressure for Self-Care Session Like?

An on-line Self-Care Seva Acupressure can take an hour to an hour and a half. Lorie does a short evaluation to determine what your needs are and how she can best help. Information provided to you includes a brief explanation of the history and theory of Chinese Medicine, point locations, and the protocol for a session addressing your needs. The type and amount of pressure you use to stimulate the acupuncture points will be calibrated to the perfect depth as you learn more about what your body needs and wants. Most of the protocols are based on the Seva Stress Release which was developed to address acute stress reactions after the trauma of 9/11.  Points supporting  the Immune System are also included.

This gentle but effective Acupressure can address many common physical symptoms, including back pain, headache pain, insomnia, food cravings, respiratory, digestive and other systemic problems as well as colds, flu, allergies, healing from injuries, emotional distress, and promoting wellness. Many of the previous symptoms and health conditions can be the result of or exacerbated by Stress reactions. Stress reduction is one of the main focuses of many acupressure protocols.

About Soul Lightening Acupressure

Lorie utilizes and teaches Soul Lightening Acupressure. It is based upon the same ancient principles as the art of acupuncture, except that it uses the softer form of curved finger pressure on the points. Many of the points used are on the extraordinary meridians, the meridians which are the first to develop after conception. They are deeper pathways of energy than the 12 meridians associated with the organs that are often used for acupuncture. Recipients of this work often report feeling nurtured and supported.  Our bodies and psyches need nurturing and touch for our survival.  The Seva Stress Release is a way to provide for ourselves and can be used to help our loved ones..
