Acupressure for Natural Healing

Acupressure (sometimes written as “accupressure”) is a technique related to acupuncture, where the energies of the body are regulated by manipulating points on the body. Acupressure and Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall health function and well being. It is a safe and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

During an acupressure session, the therapist will find out if there is any blockage of energy in the body. These blockages are usually caused by emotion, bad postures or other toxins generated by the body. For example, a lot of people complain about inflexibility on hamstring or calves area. In a lot of cases, their urinary and kidney meridian or energy channels are blocked.

In Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi in Metuchen NJ, our energy trainers will guide individuals to open their energy blockage through stretching, energy training and breathing. Combined with energy healing and acupressure sessions, these blockages will open and one could restore natural energy balance to achieve physical and mental health.

Pre-Natal Yoga in Central New Jersey

Recently I have received a lot of enquiries for pre-natal yoga. They are usually young moms-to-be who want to lessen their back pain and discomfort during pregnancy.  I usually check with their flexibility and energy condition in a one-hour introductory session.  Quite a few of them signed up for private or semi-private pre-natal yoga classes.

The process of pregnancy and labor requires a tremendous amount of energy within a short period of time.  It is very helpful to practice the recommended meridian exercises and energy yoga to accumulate vital energy. It is also important to maintain a healthy body, mind and spirit in preparation for the challenge of labor.  A healthy body can help to reduce pain during labor and decrease the chance of lasting physical effects caused by childbirth.

The exercises are in sets suitable for pregnant women in first, second and last trimester with increasing activities and different focuses.  It is very important for the mother to be in touch with their body’s natural rhythms. Relaxing is key in first trimester. During the second trimester, the exercises condition the body to be strong during the remaining months of pregnancy and labor. During the last trimester, anxiety can increase due to the anticipation of the childbirth.  Listening to peaceful music and doing other activities to relax the mind are good.  With the increase weight gain during this trimester, the mothers will feel more fatigued. The exercises will help them to be more active and more relaxed through breathing techique.

I am actually very excited to work with mother-to-be.  The vital life energy radiating from both the baby and the mother is so pure and powerful!
