Principles of Acupressure:

1. Qi and Meridians:
   o At the core of acupressure is the concept of Qi, the vital life force energy.
   o Meridians, energy pathways, crisscross the body, connecting acupressure points
   and facilitating the flow of Qi.
2. Balancing Yin and Yang:
   o Acupressure aims to balance the Yin and Yang energies within the body.
   o By stimulating or calming specific points, the practice encourages harmony in the
   body’s energy system.

The Acupressure Points:

1. Location and Sensitivity:
   o Acupressure points are specific locations along the meridians.
   o These points are often sensitive and responsive to pressure.
2. Organ Correspondence:
   o Each acupressure point is associated with an organ or a system in the body.
   o Stimulating these points is believed to influence the corresponding organs and
   promote balance.
