The Good Points Self-Care Programgrew out of the COVID phenomenon originally through ZOOM. It is sharing easy to find acupoints to solve various issues such as headache, stress, muscle relaxation, emotional tension, and many more applications. There isresearchto support the benefits of acupressure which has been used for thousands of years all over the world.
Come to House of Gaia on Saturday September 10 from 2-4 for an afternoon of comaraderie and learning to find acupoints that will relax you and your loved ones. We will learn a special kind of touch called a fulcrum at interface. We will play with our energies and rest back and relax.
Some of the acupoints are on the back. We use fulcrum balls to reach those points comfortably. Alvina will bring hackey sacs in socks and you can also use a pillowcase tied in two knots or even socks in knots or any soft balls to hold the points on the back.
We will practice Dr. Aminah Raheem’s Chakra Tai Chi which helps to clear & strengthen our whole body energy and sometimes helps us to realize something about ourselves that we might not have known. Plus it’s relaxing.
