ACUTOUCH PRINCIPLES

In his wonderful and path breaking book “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind”, Dr Deepak Chopra states: “…2: In their essential state, our bodies are composed of energy and information not solid matter. This energy and information is an outcropping of infinite fields of energy and information spanning the Universe…” Again in the same book, he states: “…Although each person seems separate and independent, all of us are connected to patterns of intelligence that govern the whole cosmos. Our bodies are part of a universal body, our minds an aspect of a universal mind…” He states elsewhere in the same book thus: “…There is no bio-chemistry outside awareness; every cell in your body is totally aware of how you think and feel about yourself…” 

It gels superbly with the Chinese concept of “Chi”, the Japanese concept of “Ki”, or the Indian concept of “Prana”, or the general concept of Universal energy or life force. And the erudite and scholarly Doctor tells us that all matter, animate and inanimate are full of the universal energy, which is within you, me, on earth and in space! 

The principle behind Acutouch is reckoned as regulating the life force in our body through touch. The actual meaning of Jin Shin Acutouch is ‘compassionate spirit penetrating through touch’. 

Channels, or, Meridians: 

The bio-energy, or, life force is connected to all the body parts through a circuit system known as Channel of Meridian system. Dr Chopra tells us “…every cell in your body is totally aware of how you think and feel…” So the bio-energy, or, life force penetrates deep into you, into every organ, and every cell in an organ! On the skin, the flow of bio-energy of life force, or Chi, takes place through the capillary network, which are felt in the form of “points”. By touching the points for a specific time frame, whatever blockage or stagnation of the life force in the body can be removed and the energy levels of the body are restored. This is the basic principle of Acutouch. There are only 26 energy points located on the front and backside of the body. The normal practice is to touch tow of the points simultaneously to release tension. There are specified patterns of “the touch”. Also there are particular routes through which energy moves freely and covers organs and meridians.
