Using the diagnosis chart

When you start to diagnose your condition, use The Diagnosis Chart to note down all the parameters of your present state of health. Then after some time of doing acupressure regularly, you can check the same parameters and note your improvement.

Eye redness indicates the degree of toxicity in the blood as well as the heat in the body. Dark circles under the eyes indicate that the liver has weakness.

Puffy skin under the eyes indicates the unhealthy condition of the kidneys. Tongue diagnosis is a detailed subject that I will not be teaching in this book. Pain in the middle toe of the feet when pressed, indicates stored mental tension. Pain in the tennis elbow muscle when pressed indicates stored emotional stress. Swollen feet or black skin patches on the legs or feet could indicate severely ill kidneys. The relevance of frequency of passing stools has been explained on page 20.

By placing both your open palms together, facing you, align the topmost prominent horizontal lines on the palm. Once they are aligned, check if the horizontal lines on the little fingers match. If they do not, and the lines of one little finger are lower than the other, it indicates that the Solar Plexus is out of balance. The little finger, whose lines are lower, will even appear a bit shorter. To rebalance the solar plexus, stretch out the hand whose little finger is shorter, horizontally in front of you. Now firmly grasp the crease at the elbow with your other hand, thumb on the lower side of the elbow and 4 fingers on the upper side. The crease of the elbow should be just below the little finger. Now make a thumbs up fist of the outstretched hand and swiftly jerk the hand upward, till the tip of the thumb hits the top of the shoulder of the outstretched hand. Now let the arm go back to the outstretched position again. Repeat this 3 times. Then place the palms together like before and see if the little finger lines match. If the solar plexus is not balanced in this way, a lot of digestive problems like loose motions can occur.

To check if the hip and leg balance is ok, lie down on the floor, flat on your back, legs straight and match the height of the main toes. If one is higher than the other it indicates an imbalance. To rectify this, sit up, with one leg still outstretched, and drawn in the foot of the other led (whose toe is shorter) by bending the knee upwards in the air. Then holding that knee firmly, press it down swiftly across the thigh of the other leg with some pressure. Do this 4 times. This will lengthen the tendons of the leg whose toe is shorter and the toe heights will begin to match again.

These two checkups and rebalances are to be done on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or 4 hours after a meal. Check every day to see if the balance has come back. If not, then rebalance them till the day they get balanced.

Diagnose organs by pressing their acupressure points

Outstretch the thumbs of one hand. Now bend just the top digit of the thumb forward to a 90deg angle. Press the nail tip side of this thumb, perpendicular to any acupressure point (shown in the acupressure hand charts) on the palm of the other hand, with a deep press. Place the balance 4 fingers below the palm for supporting the pressing action. Press deeply and release a couple of times at a chosen organ location. The pointed index finger can also be used to press a point of the other palm. If there is pain deep within the flesh of the palm, it means that the corresponding organ has sickness or weakness. The degree of pain shows the severity of sickness. For the pressing technique, take a look at the video at www.becomehealthyorextinct.com/acupressure/techniques Check up the acupressure points of all organs and body parts as per the sequence given in The Diagnosis Chart and if they pain, put a “Y” symbol (Yes) mark in the LH column (pain on the left

hand palm point) or RH column (pain on the right hand palm point). Check all the 45 points given in the chart and mark Y where you feel pain.

In some cases, where the palms are used a lot for manual work, the sensitivity of the acupressure points is a bit diminished. So some points may not show pain for the first 1 or 2 days even though the organ is unwell. In such cases a hard acupressure ball should be rolled between the palms with a firm pressure, for about 5 minutes twice a day for 3 days. The points will then get activated and show their pain when you check them again after 3 days by pressing with the thumb or index finger. This completes the diagnosis of all points in the hands and so also the diagnosis of their correspondingly organs within the body.

How to treat the acupressure points

The points that pain are the sick organs or body parts, and to cure them, you just have to press them in a certain way and that is all they require for healing. Now since this system of acupressure that I am explaining, is designed to heal chronic illness, pressing certain points that manage overall health is necessary, even if they do not indicate any pain and I will explain why shortly. If you are not following this system, then you can press any point in any sequence, it really does not matter, you will still get some benefit.

Doing an Acupressure session

1) Do the Pranayam so that it generates a good level of bioenergy.

2) Make a 90deg angle of your thumb or your index finger and press it deep on the acupressure point (shown in the acupressure hand charts) of the other palm with an up and down pulsating kind of press for about 2 minutes on each point or area of the hand, in the following sequence. Pineal & Pituitary (one area), Thyroid & Parathyroid (second area), Thymus & Lungs (third area), Solar Plexus, Adrenal, Pancreas and finally, the Sex Glands on both sides of the wrists. This same sequence is given in The Diagnosis Chart. After you press one point on say the left hand, next press the same point on the right hand. Then go to the next point in the sequence. The above points are the endocrine glands, the master controllers of the human body. Pressing them first is very necessary because only if they work well, will they secrete the right quality of hormones required by the body. The pressing of these very points also activates the associated plexus in the same area that conduct the flow of biocurrent to every associated chakra, as well as through the nervous network of the body.

If you noticed the sequence of points, they start from the topmost area in the brain, which is the producer of biocurrent and then progressively go lower. As you press each endocrine gland, you strengthen its physical vitality as well the energetic vitality of the chakra it manages. The performance of this junction in the body improves, and so in turn, it enables a healthier flow of energy to the next downstream endocrine junction. This is how the entire Endocrine Body is first energized.

3) The next sequence of points to be pressed are the points where you have felt pain and marked ‘Y’ in the diagnosis chart. Go as per the sequence given in The Diagnosis Chart. Do not press these points as deep as the earlier endocrine glands. Just press enough to feel their pain. Here, each point needs to be pressed for 1 minute only. If you do not end up pressing the

kidney point in your sequence of points, compulsorily press it as the last point on both hands. Pressing the kidney points in every acupressure session is a must because it helps keep the kidneys performing optimally. Kidneys should be in a healthy condition so that they can eliminate via the urine, all the toxins that are released into the blood from the ailing parts. 4) Roll an acupressure ball in your palms firmly for 3 to 4 minutes. You can also roll a foot roller

under your feet firmly for the same amount of time.

5) Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water to help flush out the toxins released during the session.

It should be remembered that pressing on the paining point is what cures, so do not avoid paining points, instead search for them. You are actually searching for the weak points of the body so that you can press the weakness away!

Give special attention to the Thyroid & Parathyroid area and press it where it pains for 2 complete minutes. These are the most important endocrine glands as far as energy flow is concerned because they are situated in the neck, which is a narrow channel through which all the biocurrent from the brain flows. All communication from other parts of the body picked up by the nervous system also flows back to the brain through this neck passage.

Acupressure point pain analysis

Acupressure point pains in the hands have a way of expressing themselves and they do have a very clear meaning, which is termed as the classic acupressure pain cycle, which is as follow: For the first couple of days you may not feel pain at some points. This is due to the insensitivity of the nerves on the hand. Consider them as waking up from a slumber.

After a few days the paining in the points increases and it becomes very clear that certain organs are sick. The amount of pain is directly proportional to the level of sickness of the organ.

As you continue pressing these points daily, the pain in some of the points will go down. These are the points where the weakness was not deep rooted and the organ has just recovered from sickness. Other point pains may reduce considerably and this is part of the healing cycle.

The points that keep on paining for over 15 days or a month are the organs that have chronic illness that is deep seated, so keep on pressing their pain till it disappears completely.

If you have a doubt about whether the pain is actually acupressure pain or just weakness in that part of the hand, ask yourself these questions:

1) Did I have an injury on this part of my body?

2) Am I pressing so hard that my tissues are getting damaged or my bones are hurting?

The final guideline is that, over a period of 10 days, if the pain is increasing more and more every day, then the pain is probably not acupressure pain and you may be causing yourself some tissue damage by pressing too hard.

If you are still not able to get a good understanding of acupressure pain, then please see an acupressurist or a person who successfully practises acupressure.

Pressing an acupressure point deeply and continuously (not pulsating) for over 3 mins will make pain in the body at its corresponding area disappear. That is just temporary numbness and not an effect of permanent cure. It is often used to numb pains like dental pains or neck or joint pains. There is one peculiar organ in the human body that may not show as much pain as it should, when it is ill, and that is the Liver. The Liver point shows pain only when there is severe illness. This is because the cellular structure of the liver is quite different from other organs of the body and the network of nerves in it is quite less. Since there are a lesser number of nerves in the liver, the

amount of pain in its corresponding point in the right hand is also lesser than normal. This is why the liver is called the silent organ. This does not mean that one does not press the liver point if it is not paining. It should certainly be pressed if there are other indications that it is weak. When this point clearly pains on the hand it shows that the liver has already been damaged to quite an extent. Even so, acupressure diagnosis of the liver detects weakness much earlier than other conventional diagnosis.

Compulsory cleanse before starting acupressure treatment

If you have never done a Kidney Cleanse before, you should certainly do one before starting acupressure, so that the kidneys are clean and healthy to dispose off the toxins that are released due to the action of acupressure.

If a person’s kidneys are severely weak to begin with, as in the case of renal failure patients, they should first start with the black tea kidney cleanse for 15 days, while doing daily acupressure twice a day just for the kidney points only. Regular acupressure for the rest of the body can be started after this period.

Optional treatments that help the healing process

The body will cleanse itself of toxins and also heal much faster if it is helped by some natural treatments that facilitate its cleansing. The following natural treatments are recommended when using this system of acupressure.

1) Black Pepper treatment for the removal of excess heat from the body.

Soak the powder of 15 black pepper seeds + 2 Tsp Khadi Shakar (crystal sugar) in 250ml water at night. Stir it well and drink it first thing in the morning for 10 days. After this, add 5 chopped almonds to the mixture and have it for the next 10 days.

2) Nux Vomica 30X

Take 3 pills 3 times a day for 45 days. This treats disorders of the stomach, digestion problems, problems of bile and ulceration in intestines.

3) Health Drink powder

Mix 300gms dried amla (indian gooseberry) powder and 100gms dried ginger powder. Take 1 Tsp in warm water every morning and every evening for 15 days. Amla has 16 times more vitamin C than lemon. This protects the body from cold and increases digestive power.

4) Q Mixture

Mix Neem (Azadirachta Indica) powder, Tulsi (Basil) powder and Bael powder (Aegle Marmelos) in equal proportions. Take 1 Tsp in warm water 1 hr before lunch and 1 hr before dinner for 15 days. This treatment purifies the blood and also increases energy levels.

5) Aloe Vera juice

Mix 30ml of Aloe Vera juice and 30ml water. Have it on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. No food or water for ½ hr after it. Repeat the same just before going to sleep at night. It is a health tonic and benefits the Liver tremendously.

One blood circulation cycle in the human body takes approximately 20 minutes. So if you are taking medications for different ailments separate them by 20 minutes at least, as this allows one complete cycle for the medication to be absorbed the blood and also delivered to the place where it is required in the body.

The Meridian system

The network of the human nervous system, mainly stemming from the brain and the spinal chord is like a massive river with all its tributaries. It has junctions and branches on the main pathways, called the meridians, which run through the entire length and breadth of the human body. The end points of these nerves are located on the hands, feet and ears.

In healthy individuals, biocurrent flow maintains a constant balance within the body. When a harmful event occurs within the body, it clogs the flow of biocurrent and disease ensues. The meridian junctions are the spots where biocurrent has the greatest tendency to get stuck and when this happens, it causes an imbalance as upstream sites are flooded with too much biocurrent and downstream sites receive too little. Acupressure points are also located on the pathways and junctions of these meridians. Pressing the acupressure points on the meridian pathways on the body dislodges blockages and this restores normal circulation of biocurrent. Once normal biocurrent circulation is restored, the cells eventually return to their normal, healthy state. The pressing action also facilitates the smooth flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the nerve ménages.

There are 14 meridians that run through the body. Twelve of the meridians are connected to 12 different organs of the human body, whereas two of the meridians are connected to mechanisms of the human body. The meridians are as follows:

1) The Heart meridian

2) The Small Intestine meridian 3) The Gall Bladder meridian 4) The Liver meridian

5) The Urinary Bladder meridian 6) The Kidney meridian

7) The Lung meridian

8) The Large Intestine meridian 9) The Stomach meridian 10) The Spleen meridian

11) The Pericardium (heart sac) meridian 12) The Triple Warmer (spinal chord) meridian 13) The Governing Vessel meridian

14) The Conception Vessel meridian
