Читать книгу Acupressure: Simple Steps to Health: Discover your Body’s Powerpoints For Health and Relaxation - Jacqueline Young - Страница 10

The exact location of each acupoint is described in terms of the part of the body, where it is located and its position relative to the bones, muscles or tendons. Most acupoints are located in small depressions, or hollows, on the body in between bones, muscles or tendons. Each location description is accompanied by a drawing or photograph.

After following the descriptions closely and paying careful attention to the illustrations, spend a little time feeling around the area with your most sensitive finger to locate the point accurately. There is almost always a slight sensitivity or ‘charge’ to be felt at the site of an acupoint and, in the case of imbalance, the point itself is often tender. The points are generally located with the tip of the index or middle finger or the thumb. With regular practice, sensitivity develops and confidence increases. As you become more practised it will become easier and easier to locate acupoints correctly on both yourself and others.
