IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure and Reiki are non-invasive energy healing techniques utilized to bring balance to mind/body/spirit. According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fundamental life energy (which is found in food, air, water and sunlight) travels through our bodies by way of energy meridians. These are channels for energy similar to the blood vessels in our circulatory system, the nerves in our peripheral nervous system and the lymphatic vessels in our lymphatic system, and correspond to the 12 main organs in our body. TCM believes that our emotional/mental state contributes to our ability to remain healthy and that external factors such as stress, relationships, work, and past trauma (both physical and emotional) influence the balance of the flow of energy along the meridians. We remain healthy when all is in balance and become ill when internal or external events disrupt the balance in the flow of energy. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities and unblock the circulation of energy. The healing touch of acupressure enables the body to reduce tension, increase blood and energy circulation, and relieve muscular tension enabling the body to relax deeply, relieve stress and enhance healing. This helps balance the flow of fundamental life energy, strengthen resistance to disease and promote wellness.
