Re: cold/sinus/accupressure -

April 2, 2004

Just thought I'd let you know that accupressure a la Gach helped

with my daughter's stuffed up nose.

I paid attention to the energy ... I felt a warming sensation in my

fingers when I had them on her face. I didn't push the accupressure

points on her head - I just laid my palm on them and I felt a pulse -

but in my tired state it could have been my own pulse - I don't know.

(1) Very good about using Gach. I saw the subject line and grabbed

my copy before reading your post because I was going to give you a

list of points to use. In the last year and a half, I have come

down with three colds myself and have used acupressure each time.

Normally, a cold will drag on for anywhere from 2-3 weeks, no matter

what you do. In all three cases, from the time I started using the

points for the colds, I went totally symptom free in three days or

less. I have lost count of the number of times I have done point

work on someone for sinus congestion.

(2) Your experience while working on your daughter was a typical

sensation. It is common for the practitioner's fingers or entire

hands to not only get warm, but to sometimes get almost downright

hot. I have had a number of situations where I have been working

off-body on someone and they could feel waves of heat radiating from

my hands and my hands were anywhere from 8-15 inches away from them.

(3) As for feeling the pulse, a couple of things you can think

about. The first is what did it feel like? You know what the basic

blood pulse feels like - a steady, rhythmic pumping sensation. If

you felt something different in each hand, it was NOT the blood

pulse. In other words, if you felt an out of synch pulsing, one hand

compared to the other, you were feeling the energy. The other thing

to consider if you think it might have been your own pulse you were

feeling is to simply place your hand(s) on a flat surface and see if

you can detect it. If you can't, then you were not feeling your own

pulse with your daughter.
