Acupressure's Potent Points – Michael Reed Gach (Book)

Know exactly where to place your tuning forks. The most common thing we hear from new fork owners is "I love it, but where do I put it?" Michael Reed Gach's Acupressure's Potent Points answers that question, with point maps for more than 40 common complaints and more than 400 photographs and easy-to-follow illustrations.

Your forks bring the vibration. Gach shows you the points. As with all our tuning forks, focusing on meridians and acupressure points increases vibrational benefits, and many practitioners find a tuning fork more potent than touch alone on acupressure points.

About the book

Relieve pain, tension, and stress with this definitive guide to acupressure, the centuries-old technique that utilizes gentle pressure from your hands to jump-start your body's self-curative abilities.

"A faithful and thoroughly incisive book on the ancient art of healing. With clarity and inspiring instructions, this is a welcome gift for all who seek health and well-being." —Chungliang Al Huang, author of Quantum Soup

With your hands you have the potential to improve your health, increase your vitality, and relieve everyday aches, pains, and ailments without taking drugs. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to stimulate key points on the skin that, in turn, activate the body's natural self-healing processes.

In Acupressure's Potent Points, Michael Reed Gach, founder and director of the Acupressure Institute of America, reveals simple techniques that enable you to relieve headaches, arthritis, colds and flu, insomnia, backaches, hiccups, leg pain, hot flashes, depression, and more—using the power and sensitivity of your own hands. Written in clear, accessible language, with more than 400 photographs and easy-to-follow illustrations, Acupressure's Potent Points includes:

• keys to pressure-point locations and instructions on how to apply pressure safely and effectively
• step-by-step exercises
• a five-minute acupressure wellness program
• a chart to help you document your health progress
• tips on living and eating well
• and much more!

This practical guide covers more than forty ailments and symptoms, from allergies to wrist pain, providing pressure-point maps and exercises to relieve pain and restore function. Acupressure complements conventional medical care and enables you to take a vital role in becoming well and staying well. With this book you can turn your hands into healing tools—and start feeling good now.

With your tuning forks

1. Set a positive intention for your session and take a deep inhale and exhale before you begin.
2. Look up your focus area in the book and find its points.
3. With the finger or thumb of your free hand, locate the point on the body.
4. Hold the fork by the stem and gently tap the body (the weighted portion) on a soft part of your body such as palm, thigh, or shoulder, or on a rubber activator, puck, or mallet. This will set the weights in motion and create a pure tone. The fork can also be activated by squeezing the weights together with thumb and forefinger and letting go.
5. Press the end of the stem onto the point and hold until you feel the vibrations stop. 1-3 activations per point.

With a Soma Glider Boot: glide along the meridian between points instead of lifting and replacing the fork.
