How Does The Tibetan Acupressure System Work?

The Tibetan Acupressure System (TAS) is a profound and wonderful healing system that allows energy to flow naturally through and around the body. By having a TAS treatment, the body is opened so that these energies facilitate relaxation, rebalancing and finding strength.

What is energy?

Energy is more than the current buzzword in the alternative medicine community. Increasingly, acupuncture meridians, electromagnetic fields, colors and energy patterning are becoming the research subjects of conventional medical science as well. Many years ago, people did not understand radio waves. Now, no one doubts that radio waves exist, but we cannot see or feel them. Just like the radio waves, the energy around your body is invisible but these energy systems are vital to your health and well-being.

Implementing energy modalities along with lifestyle and environmental change including food, herbs, bodywork, and incorporating spiritual and psychological direction brings individuals to balance.

Energy has many names, chi or qi in Chinese medicine, prana, source or universal life force to name a few. When energy becomes blocked or stagnant in the systems either within the body or in the immediate field just outside of it, the natural energy flow is disrupted, resulting in physical and/or mental dis-ease.

It is not necessary for the individual to believe that energy exists for energy treatments to work. The Tibetan Acupressure system combines both physical touch, movement and working with the energetic systems of the body and its field. The combination of touch and moving energy makes it a more palatable system for the skeptic.

We are energy beings made up of light frequencies. Einstein explained that with his theory of relativity: e=mc². The physical body is the part that we can see and feel. We also have an energetic body which extends up to 1 meter outside the physical body. It is said that disturbances in the energetic field of the body, if left untreated, manifest into physical conditions.

Energetic imbalances can be created through many things including the food we eat, the environment we inhabit, as well as our thoughts and feelings. All things occur within a field and all fields are made up of energy. Positive and negative thoughts create different fields and persistent negative thought fields create imbalance in the body.

A good example of how external environment affects action and results is the art/science of Feng Shui (the art of placement, the arranging of house, business space, garden and furniture to achieve harmony and well-being) is based on the idea that the environmental can affect your health and productivity.

How does TAS use energy for healing?

When you receive a TAS treatment, the pressure points used help unblock energy pathways and bring balance by allowing energy to circulate again.
There are energy maps within the body made up of reflex points. The ones used in this system are the maps of the feet, legs, hands, arms, shoulders, back and head. By pressing particular reflex points in sequence, the corresponding system, or organ of the body is stimulated with a sudden flow of new and rejuvenated energy. When a system, organ or area of the body is not functioning properly and causing discomfort or pain, it is usually because of energy depletion. TAS treatments rebalance and harmonize the energies resulting in enhanced performance of the organs and systems, stronger immune system and sense of well-being.

Chronic pain is often ‘chronic’ because our bodies have stopped alerting the brain that there is a problem. Our brains function in such a way that we are able to feel only the strongest most prominent pain or discomfort even if there are multiple areas which are affected. The TAS treatments help energy flow to all sites that need healing including those which have been otherwise ignored by the brain.

The TAS treatment is a profound experience and at the same time gentle and safe. It floods the body with gentle vibrations which enhance your physical, emotional and spiritual state. It may seem mysterious and different from other forms of therapy that you have tried, but it only takes one session to feel and experience the benefits.
