Читать книгу Acupressure: Simple Steps to Health: Discover your Body’s Powerpoints For Health and Relaxation - Jacqueline Young - Страница 15

The direction for the application of acupressure is very important. Generally, you are advised to work in the direction of flow of the acupuncture meridian on which the point is located, as this helps to improve the vital energy flow within the meridian and enhance the function of the corresponding internal organ. Occasionally, pressure is applied perpendicularly or even in the opposite direction to the flow in order to have a sedative and calming effect. However, if in doubt, go with the flow, as traditional theory maintains that this enhances the natural homoeostatic function of the body and promotes health in whatever way the body requires. This process is further helped by correct breathing and visualization.
