Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that comes from Chinese medicine. It involves applying pressure - usually with fingers, thumbs, or hands - to specific points on the body called acupoints.
These points lie along pathways known as meridians, which are believed to carry the body’s vital energy called Qi.
Qi is often described as the life force that flows through the body, supporting all physical, emotional, and mental functions. That includes the vision - directly and indirectly.
I have used acupressure since my childhood, and I have used it for my own vision health for quite some time now. However, this is the very first time I am sharing it with others. So, if there are moments in the lesson that feel a little cumbersome, I ask you to give me some grace and to judge the message (not the delivery). I trust you will find it useful.
So let’s dive into the discovery of how to find the points that benefit the eyes and how to use them in support of an existing vision training and vision care routine.
I am grateful for being able to stand by your side as you improve the way you see. May your eyesight be boundless.
