Process Acupressure


About Process Acupressure

Process Acupressure (PA) is a "whole-person" therapeutic
modality that integrates bodywork with mental, emotional and
spiritual processing. The experience of receiving this work is
authentic and empowering. Process Acupressure is
unprecedented in its simplicity and effectiveness for enhancing
personal growth.

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.

Process Acupressure integrates these ancient teachings with
contemporary psychological and spiritual understanding, to
promote health and self-responsibility for wellbeing.

What is a Process Acupressure session like?

Typically, a PA session takes from 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The client lies
fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner applies
gentle pressure to the acupoints. Normally, the session has several
phases:

* Relaxation: As a state of relaxation occurs, the client may
become aware of issues within the body and/or consciousness.
* Awareness: As the session progresses, the client may go into a
deeper state of awareness, beneath surface tension, to access
clarity or guidance about the issues at hand.
* Integration: Finally, integration and completion of the process
occur as the session is closed with chakra balancing and
grounding.

What makes Process Acupressure so effective?

Process Acupressure is based on the premise that our physical
bodies hold the archives of our lives. One way to access and
release what no longer serves us from past events is to invite the
body to direct its own clear, strong energy through the areas where
these memories are held. PA does this in a simple and direct way,
through more than 100 specialized acupressure formulas,
designed to address all parts of the body, and specific conditions.
Process Acupressure practitioners are skilled at facilitating this
exploration on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels, as well.
Clients are empowered to control the pace and depth of this
exploration at all times.

This simple acupressure
formula was prepared by
the teachers of Process
Acupressure as a gift to
the world to relieve
suffering and was first
taken to Ground Zero in
New York City to treat
those who endured such
tremendous shock and
stress during the time of
9/11.

Anyone can give or
receive this work. It is
designed for body workers
and laypersons alike and
is an excellent tool for the
widest range of needs,
including general
relaxation or extreme
shock and stress.

The formula can be given
in just a few moments or
can be extended over
20-30 minutes depending
on the circumstances. It
can be given in a
therapist's office but was
truly designed to be given
whenever and wherever
needed.

Recipients of the
treatment describe a very
calming, centering
experience. If someone
has experienced severe
shock or trauma or is
suffering from any type of
stress, this acupressure
formula can  provide an
essential few moments of
rest and rejuvenation - but
it can also provide a
profound turning point for
the individual to move
toward true healing at the
deepest levels.
