Important acupressure and therefore sono pressure points are the following:
Tue 4 This point is located between the thumb and index finger in the reticular and elastic structure.
This point is said to connect to the nerves of the spinal cord and thus generally help with pain. Especially pain in the face, that is, mouth, eyes and ears, this point often brings quick relief.
GB 20 This point is located at the back of the head in the hollow between the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius. It has a “wind-eliminating” effect. Wind often causes tension and cold sensations in TCM. This point is also related to the vagus nerve and so sono- or acupressure helps activate the relaxation mechanisms in the body.
Ni 1 This point is located between the ball of the big toe and the ball of the little toe on the bottom of the foot. Gently push the two balls of the toes apart and you will immediately feel the tip. Kidney 1 is often used in the evening as this point helps you relax and have a good night’s sleep. At the same time, it can also be invigorating if we press it first thing in the morning. Now here it all depends on your client and the time of the sound meditation.
Mon 40 This point is located four fingers wide below the kneecap, in the hollow between the tibia and the anterior tibial muscle. It is considered one of the most important acupressure points because it is one of the master points in TCM. A lot of energy is concentrated here and a lot of energy can be moved. In general, it balances the stomach meridian and is therefore excellent for gastrointestinal problems. At the same time, this point is also used in competitive sports to improve performance and concentrate energy, but it also works wonders for exhaustion and causes stimulation of the immune system.
There are also ‘newer’ acupuncture points, which have only been added in recent decades, such as the ‘third eye’ point directly between the eyebrows. This point is believed to serve centering and aid in establishing and maintaining a focus.
To use the above points as a “sonopressure”, simply use an appropriate Sound Healing instrument, such as a Practitioner Crystal Bowl (e.g.: Dove Spirit AkashaBowls® crystal singing bowl) or tuning forks. Vibrate the instrument and press it on the appropriate acupressure point. Repeat this 3-5 times per point until the vibration is no longer noticeable. Feel free to do it more often if the client gives positive feedback and wants more.
