The sciences of Acupuncture and Acupressure are so closely related that I am discussing them as one (although I realize there are some notable differences). For simplicity’s sake, in this treatise I am just referring to Acupressure as Acupuncture without the needles (see, I told you it was simple). 🙂

The main principle behind Acupuncture and Acupressure is that energy travels through the body by certain energy channels or circuits, known as meridians or nadis, depending on which book you’re reading, and if there are blocks in these energy channels, or imbalances of any sort, the result manifests itself as dis-ease in one form or another. Through the proper placement of needles or pressure (to a lesser extent) those channels can once again be cleared making room for the natural state of good health. Reiki performs the same function by sending healing energies which can also clear the blocks. When used together, Reiki and Acupuncture or Reiki and Acupressure is twice as effective and can yield 100x the results (your mileage may vary). All the Acupuncturist or Acupressurist (is that really a word?) has to do is channel the Reiki before their session and let it flow throughout. There is no need for any extra symbols, mantras or meditation.

Learning Acupuncture requires some very in depth training, but as was true with Reflexology, Acupressure is much easier to put into practice and requires much less training, knowledge and of course… needles. So don’t delay… try it today!! 🙂
