Hi everyone! Hope you're having a nice relaxing weekend doing whatever it is that puts a great big smile on your face. Sorry I was late posting my spiritual messages this weekend. This Super full moon is quite powerful and began to reveal health issues I was forced to face. I admit, I have been quite stubborn holding on to some bad eating habits that I used to eat in moderation. But like a child I've been overindulging a bit lately as a way of rebelling against my higher self that was trying to guide me toward healthier living. My body has now put me on notice, kind of like a time-out in the corner lol ;)
I should know better. I can't eat like I'm 20-something anymore. I have to be willing to adapt to my body that has been changing since I hit 40. I can still feel like I'm 20-something. But I have to adjust my eating habits to nourish my 40-something and beyond body.

So I spent Saturday night into early Sunday morning researching natural healing remedies for symptoms my body began to feel. I prefer natural remedies our ancient ancestors used over modern medication that causes adverse side affects. Well, I came across some great information I would like to pass on to you. I'll focus this post on the acupressure info and in a separate post share the other natural foods that can be introduced into your daily food intake that work as natural detoxifiers and make your food taste good too. :) I actually have mixed feelings about this change I'm about to embark on. Part of me is excited to be making these changes and another part of me is pouting like crazy lol ;) It's all part of growing and learning right?! ♥

Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands, which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques, result in stress reduction causing a physiological change in the body. Points of soreness or discomfort associated with the applied pressure to any zone may indicate a need for the concentration of pressure to the area over some period of time until soreness abates.

The second article I came across:

Acupressure, a powerful needle-free form of acupuncture, can help with liver detoxification. It is a simple, no-cost healing method that has survived the test of time for almost 10,000 years, probably due to its effectiveness.
Conducting acupressure is easy. Don’t worry if you are unfamiliar with the points. A little practice and you’ll have it mastered. Simply, apply firm pressure to the points mentioned below (see the diagram that follows) and firmly hold each point for a minute or two. The points may be tender, but the tenderness usually subsides as you continue to hold the point. That’s a sign that you’ve found the right point and that the acupressure is helping to disperse stagnant qi (pronounced “chee”), which means energy.
Start with the points Heart 8 and Liver 2 simultaneously then move to Lung 8 and Liver 4 simultaneously. In other words you’ll hold two points at a time for this particular acupressure technique. Repeat on the opposite side of your body. See the diagram below to help you locate the points. The names of the points “Heart,” “Liver,” and “Lung” refer to the energy pathway on which the point sits, and the corresponding organ to which it helps. So, while you’re working on this combination of points which is particularly good for the liver, it will also have benefits for the lungs and heart as well.
This acupressure can be conducted periodically throughout the day on a regular basis for best results.
Heart 8 (H 8 ) is located on the palm of the hand, about one inch below the webbing between the little finger and ring finger.
Liver 2 (Liv 2) is located on the top of the foot where the big toe and the second toe meet.
Then:
Lung 8 (Lu 8 ) is located on the inside of the arm, on the thumb side, about one inch higher than the wrist crease.
Liver 4 (Liv 4) is located on the front of the ankle bone on the inside of the leg.
I continued searching the web for more information and came across this other awesome website:

Here’s a video demo to guide you to use the Detox Acupressure Lv 3 point on the top of your foot, in the valley or webbing between the large toe and second toe. This powerful point balances the Liver meridian. The Lv 3 Acupressure point is a major gateway for energy that flows up your body. It also relieves toxicity, and all kinds of allergic reactions, especially bloodshot eyes, tired or strained eyes, frustration, irritability, and neuromuscular disorders.

Most people know that the point in the webbing, between your thumb and index finger, the Hoku Point (LI 4) relieves headaches. But, did you know that this point also reduces inflammation and pain in all parts of the body?
Press this Acupressure point firm enough to hurt good. It’s one of the points in the new book Acupressure Pain Relief by Michael Reed Gach, Ph.D., which is hot off the press as a quality paperback book. This short video above gives more details how inflammation causes pain in the body, and demonstrates how to best use this famous therapeutic trigger point.

Remember the point the famous “Thinker” pressed with his knuckle? If you were on a TV quiz show, you’d know the answer: It was clear thinking Acupressure point GV 26, in the gum between the tip of your nose and upper lip. Apply firm pressure while breathing deeply to clear your mind and counteract overwhelm, racing thoughts, panic, dissociation, fainting, and mental stability.
Children with dyslexia, ADD, ADHD and other learning disorders have chaotic energy flowing within their meridians. Point GV 26 balances this energy to ground a child’s sense of herself or himself, and thus is effective for changing a child’s hyperactivity. Discover the roots of dyslexia, ADD, ADHD and other learning disorders through dietary considerations, psychological aspects, and using acupressure.
Acupressure point GV 26, in the gum between the tip of your nose and upper lip, is a good first aid point for fainting, hay fever, and emergencies when someone is going unconscious. Its a revival point that can bring a person back into her body.
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or the hyperactivity disorder known as ADHD, are conditions that create impulsive, hyperactive behavior. Children with ADD or ADHD have trouble concentrating, often have racing thoughts, and difficulty staying focused. Acupressure on the GV 26 point can be a great asset to counteracting these imbalances.
