There are numerous healing modalities used throughout the
world today, some of which have been around for many thousands
of years. Although certain modalities may affect individuals
differently, there is no simple method of determining which
method may be the most effective for any particular individual.
Often healers simply create an awareness, an environment,
or stimulus needed for the client to tap into their own
healing ability.
Healing modalities include many popular scientific allopathic
and conventional practices, as well as many alternative
practices not yet popularized in some areas of the world.
The effectiveness of any one modality is dependent upon
the receptiveness and response of the patient.
Accupressure/ Accupuncture -
Acupressure therapy is done by touching points on the skin
where the body is sensitive to bioelectrical impulses. These
points map out the flow of Chi (chinese) or Ki (Japanese)
energy throughout the body. By stimulating these points
with pressure, needles, or heat triggers the release of
energy blocks along these meridians can be accomplished.
Acupressure works torebalance the body by dissolving tensions
and stresses that keep it from functioning healthly.
