(The Acupressure Facial)
Learn a simple technique to stimulate the acupressure points of the face, head, neck and shoulders for
yourself or for clients. On the physical level, these points release muscle tension and increase circulation to
the skin and scalp, much like a typical facial treatment, but without the need for creams and lotions. In
addition, people often find relief from headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, and neck and shoulder
problems. On an energetic level, the points are said to open the “Windows of the Sky” to the circulation
of Heaven (air) and Earth (food essence) energies, reestablishing the balance of essential life force, or Qi,
throughout the whole body. This is experienced as a whole body sense of physical ease and harmony.
Developed originally by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden (founder of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™) for
beauticians (it uses only points on the face, head, neck, arms and hands), the twelve easy steps can also be
used by “civilians” for self-care and it is adored by professional body workers..

Because the TendinoMuscular Meridians run through the fascia and nourish the skeletal muscles, they are
particularly useful for healing structural problems and injuries. Chinese texts prescribe them for “pain or
stiff, strained or twisted muscles along the course of the channel. Also, work with these channels often
results in “unwinding” of tensions associated with emotional armoring. We will explore the meridians with
techniques from Jin Shin Do® and Shiatsu that can be incorporated into sessions and also given to clients
for self-treatment.

Gifted healing practitioners know that the most effective work enlists the client in their own healing
process, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual. Awareness and insight give the client the power to
improve their well-being outside as well as inside the treatment room. Learn techniques to help your
clients get "back in touch" with themselves through relaxation, breathing, visualization and mindfulness;
learn ways to respond when emotions surface through active listening and body focusing; learn how to
facilitate your clients' translation of the "treasure messages" carried in physical sensation and give them
techniques for identifying and amplifying wellness.
