The next step is to become familiar with the location of the many different
points. Also we must learn the technique of how to apply the pressure and
in what order.
Finally we all need to become experts in treating ourselves.
For the creation of bioelecticity we need to start with the tips of our fingers,
our sinus points. Then, when we start pressing the points in our feet we
again start the process with our sinus points.
How many times should the sinus points be pressed ?
Each finger should be pressed 47 times. If one is suffering from sinus
problems then it should be pressed 20-30 times. If any finger is very painful
it should be pressed 50 times. The same applies to the feet.
displaced we should do the exercise twice a day, otherwise once a day will
suffice.
The P.P. is usually in one small area of the pressure point. During diagnosis
we will be able to tell that there is a problem by the reaction on the person's
face or even by the flickering of the eyes.
When people are doing it themselves it is easy to tell when they come across
the P.P.
When doing acupressure one should avoid being distracted. One should be
aware of the pain so that on a daily basis we can start to feel the curative
process at work.
When we count the number of times we are pressing a point it enables us to
fully engage with the healing process. We can try and maintain this
awareness by focusing on each number while we do the pressing so that the
whole process becomes a meditation for the body, mind and spirit.
What problems may arise ?
If we press too quickly or too roughly we could hurt ourselves. If we injure
ourselves then we should stop doing our points for a few days, and start
again just using the fingers.
How much time should we spend on the treatment each day ?
This depends on the disease, dedication and time of the patient. In our
experience, we have found that if a patient is very dedicated in doing the
treatment, then, 1 hour 15 minutes per session should result in a good level
of cure in approximately 3 weeks.
If treatment is carried out by a practitioner, it could take up to 2 hours but if
it is done according to one's own disease then it should take about an hour.
After 3 weeks, 40-45 minute per session should be enough.
In elderly patients or those with very sensitive points, what should we use ?
We should use only the fingers. On the feet only points 19, 20, 22, 23, 25,
27, 28, 29, 36 and 37 should be done using an instrument, At all times the
pressure should be gentle.
How do you use the thumb when pressing the points ?
The thumb can be used in 4 ways: 1) The tip of the thumb can be used as a pointer and for this we need to
keep our nails short.
2) The flat of the thumb using the top joint.
3) The knuckle of the thumb is useful when trying to find the P.P.
4) The side of the thumb when we need to apply a lot of pressure on the
points which have bones.
In children how do we use our thumb ?
The tip of our thumb can be used for all the points in a child's hand. But, for
points 2, 5, 8, 11-16, 19, 29, and 31- 35 in both the hands and feet, the flat
of the thumb should be used.
The knuckle can be used for points 1, 3 and 4. Also points 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, and 31- 37 can all be pressed using the knuckle.
This point can be done with either an instrument or with the fingers.

Sinus point
These points are located at the tips of the fingers and toes.
This point should be done with an instrument.
Brain point.
A most important point which houses our knowledge and wisdom. It is full of
nerves which facilitate the flow of bio-electricity. This bio-electricity creates
energy and controls the physical processes of the body.
It also controls the emotions and the sub-conscious.
Some common problems :
* Headaches
* Migraine
* Giddiness
This point should be done with an instrument.
All the information processed by our brain is carried by our nerves. These
form an extremely complex network and are responsible for conveying all
commands to and from the brain.
The left brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.
Some common problems :
If around our nerves, there is not enough circulation of blood or oxygen, we
may feel chronically stressed. If these connections become very weak, our
organs may be affected adversely.
This point can be done using either an instrument or the fingers.
This is located in the brain and is considered the control centre of all the
endocrine glands. It is responsible for our judgement, our wants, and gives
our mind its direction.
If this gland works perfectly then the person may be highly creative and
skilled in whatever activities are conducted.
Some common problems :
* Obesity
* Children may be very naughty and/or dishonest
* After childbirth, it may be difficult for the mother to lose weight.
* Pregnancy with this condition may result in a brain damaged child.
* Adults may have a bad memory
The health and secretions of the other glands is dependent on the healthy
functioning of this gland. It controls the sodium and potassium balance in
the body.
If this gland is in good health, humans can reach great heights of inner
peace and kindness and great powers of self-control in regard to pain and
sorrow.
Some common problems :
* High blood pressure
* Sexual problems
* Water retention in the limbs which is often mistaken as kidney disease
This point can be done with either an instrument or with the fingers.
These provide the connection between the brain and the body.
During headaches and migraines these dilate and give rise to throbbing
pain.
This point should be done only with the fingers.
This gland is situated in our windpipe and produces thy-Roxine. It has a huge
sphere of control.
* It plays an important role in child development
* It helps us absorb calcium
* Helps with excretion of waste and toxins
* Maintains body temperature
* Develops good mental qualities e.g. concentration, good behavior,
generosity, love, self- control
* It helps with the good functioning of the kidneys and the muscles
Some common problems :
* Osteoporosis
* Lack of bone development resulting in bulky, short stature
* Overweight
* Rough and/or thick skin
* Loss of mental strength
* Anemia
* Stones form in the kidneys
* Diminished sexual potency
* Reduced calcium absorption leads to weakened bones and muscles
* The muscles may be affected by fine tremors
* Increased appetite

Problems may arise as a result of the lack of flow of bio-electricity e.g. a bad
cold may result in lessening bio-electricity in the spine which may create
pain around the heart, leading people to think they may have heart
problems.
Also spinal problems could result in speech difficulties. Other problems which
may occur are back pain, including that in the lower back.
This point should only be done using the fingers.
Acupressure Point No. 10 Piles :
This results when the vein in the rectum becomes engorged with blood and
may lead to bleeding, severe discomfort and pain.
In severe cases, a permanent pile may be present externally or internally.
Piles occur because of possible underlying liver problems, chronic
constipation, diarrhea, smoking, alcohol, and too much fat, chilli or spice in
the diet.
Sometimes the vein in the rectum can become infected. Piles can lead to a
weakened heart and can also affect the prostate gland.
There may be headaches and also loss of blood which, in severe cases, could
lead to anemia.
This point can be done with either an instrument or with the fingers.
Acupressure Point No. 11 Prostate gland :
In childhood this gland is inactive. At puberty it starts working and around the
age of 50 it starts slowing down.
If the gland becomes enlarged or infected, passing urine becomes difficult.
Also women need to press this point because it prevents urinary infections and
other urinary and kidney problems.
