ACUTOUCH – ACUPUNCTURE AND ACUPRESSURE

Chi, Yin and Yang and Meridians: 

The Chinese believe, “Chi” is the Universal life force, which exists throughout space. This life force or bio-energy, or “Ki” as known to Japanese, or “Chi” as known to Chinese, or “Prana” as known to the Indians, flows continuously through out your body and, in the process, connecting all the organs inside. This life force energy, or, “Chi” flows along specific channels known as “meridians”. According to Chinese, human body comprises of tow opposite natural forces called “YIN” and “YANG”. These forces are both opposing and complementing each other. Yin is known to be female – passive, stoic and calm. Darkness, moisture, cold, swelling are represented by Yin. Yang is considered male – aggressive and exciting. Brightness (light), dryness and contraction are represented by Yang. Yin and Yang should always be in balance in your body. The imbalance only shows sickness. If “Yin” is in excess in the body, then you will have, a feeling of ‘drained out’, cold etc, and if the ‘Yang’ is in excess, then you will have, headache or blood pressure. The system of Acupuncture, or for that matter, Acupressure, or even Acutouch, restores the balance of Yin and Yang by the use of needles in Acupuncture and finger tips in Acupressure and Acutouch. In other words, the Yin and Yang balance can be achieved through regulating the flow of life force energy “Chi”, by applying pressure or by pricking through a needle on the “meridians”.
