This pressure type self-therapy usually has a calming effect that helps relax tight nerves, muscles, and blood vessels, etc.

It gives NEW LIFE to needy organs that have "sluggish attitudes." When you're feeling relaxed, almost everything seems less stressful, and when you're less anxious, those stress headaches won't ruin any part of your day or night!

This amounts to maintaining a proper BALANCE of diet, exercise, & play. Everything in our universe has to have the right balance to function properly-even your body!

I'm sure you've head of the YIN & YANG concept. In ancient Chinese philosophy, the entire universe is ruled by these two complementary forces.

It's the positive and negative cycling of your body's Qi energy along meridians (similar to your body's electrical wiring system). There are 12 main meridians and 8 branches that are the basis for all theory and treatment. These 8 branches cross other meridians and are considered indirect routes of energy. Your body has a duplicate set of meridians on each side that correspond with all your fingers and toes and two separate meridians circling the midline of your body.

The theory is that Qi (Life Energy) cycles through the body's meridians around the clock. Around 3 a.m., YIN cycles in the lung meridians as your breathing increases. Then YANG cycles the next two hours in large intestine meridians followed by stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, kidneys, pericardium (covering around the heart), triple warmer (autonomic nervous system), gall bladder, and the liver. Qi also enters the body from food and water.

There are two types of Qi circulating inside your called "Nourishing Qi" & "Protecting Qi." Nourishing Qi circulates in meridians and blood vessels around the clock, & Protecting Qi circulates in the tissue beneath your skin. Protecting Qi is the body's armor from outside invaders such as COLD. When your body feels a chill, Protecting Qi tells the body to turn up the heat!

Control of the body's negative and positive poles are accomplished when the Protecting Qi cycles through your body as it does 50 times every 24 hours-25 cycles every DAY that are parallel to YANG and 25 cycles every NIGHT that are parallel to YIN. Are you with me so far? GOOD. Don't let this technical stuff slow you down, OK?

These energy forces rule the fragile human body. It can go out of balance long before you see any symptoms, or illnesses can show up right away.

A headache is a sign that your body's energy flow is out of balance. Energy may be jammed up somewhere along the way. By using finger pressure, you can release this blocked energy flow allowing all that healing force to take charge and "ZAP" the problem area.

This is a 12 part series, so please take the time to read the next part in this series of How to lose headaches for life.
