How to Find Acupressure Points

You can find the Points by where they are in relation to various parts of your body, often bones or muscles. For example, on your cheekbone under the middle of your eye, or on the top of the shoulder muscle, one inch out from the base of the neck.

As you explore the Articles and Resources, simply follow the directions for self-healing and for helping others using Acupressure Points. Study the illustrations, photos, and videos that show the locations of the Points, and you’ll easily be able to find them.

How to Apply Acupressure

Use steady finger pressure directly on the Point. Maintaining the pressure for approximately two to three minutes is good.

Each Point will feel a bit different when you press it. Some Points are tense or rigid, while others are often tender and sore. How much pressure to apply to any Point depends on how fit you are and also on where the Point is located. The more developed the muscles are, the more pressure you should apply.

A basic guideline to follow is that the pressure should be firm enough so that it “hurts good.” In other words, something between pleasant, firm pressure and outright pain.

If you feel extreme or increasing sensitivity or pain, gradually decrease the pressure until you find a balance between pain and pleasure. Do not continue to press a Point that is very painful. Usually, however, if you firmly hold the point long enough (up to 2 minutes, using the middle finger with your index and ring fingers on either side as support), the pain will diminish.

Sometimes when you hold a Point, you’ll feel pain in another area of your body This phenomenon is called “referred pain,” and it shows that those areas are related. You should press Points in these related areas as well to release blockages.
