While acupuncture and acupressure are time-honored traditions of clearing energy channels for better health, it is a lesser-known fact that they are also aids for spiritual development. If finding an acupuncturist who knows how to open spiritual channels is challenging, or if you don’t like needles, you can conduct your own acupressure sessions at home or wherever you are.

Known as finger acupuncture, tsubo point cleansing, and energy cleansing, acupressure involves massaging the fingers or using crystal wands to activate certain acupuncture points. In some cases electrical stimulation is used. This provides neurostimulation of the tsubo points along the body’s nerve and energy pathways.

While this produces balance in the body’s systems and can lead to better spiritual connections, there are certain acupressure points that are effective in stimulating your intuition and spiritual channels.

In order to effectively shift energy from the cerebral cortex (basically the gray matter of the brain) to the medulla oblongata (the base of the brain just above the spine), you have to work on certain points that we will discuss in a moment. The brain (cerebral cortex) houses most of our conscious movements and activities, while the medulla is the center of our ANS, the autonomic nervous system. It also houses the link to our intuitive sensibilities. Within this area of ​​the body there is a special energy gate that allows the flow of spiritual energy.

Now let’s look at the stimulation points where you will apply acupressure. The bladder meridians, or bladder energy pathways, have points known as BL9 or Yuzhen. These points are located on both sides of the occipital bone. The bone at the back and base of your skull. Then put your fingers on the back of the head, usually find a slight dent where the proper point is and if you draw an imaginary line around the head at the top of the ears it will be roughly in place suitable.

Gently massaging these points and applying light pressure for about 30 seconds will help create a shift from the active mind to the subconscious mind of the spinal cord and strengthen the intuitive functions. It will slow down your metabolism and respiratory system and can become a trigger for you to change consciousness easily and quickly. If energy flow is poor in this area, you may feel slight pain.

Two more energetic pathways are important to develop your intuitive channels, the Conception and Ruler Meridians. The Ruling Meridian flows down the spine, over the head and ends at the palate. The meridian of conception flows down the front of the body and ends at the tip of the tongue. They are linked at the base of the body at a point called Hui Yin. It is located between the anus and the genitals in the perineum. When stimulated, it creates a connection between the two meridians and can stimulate the third eye and other intuitive channels. Another way to stimulate this point is through Kegel exercises known to most women. This is not as effective as direct acupressure, but it is easily practiced wherever you are. While stimulating the point to do the Kegel contractions, hold the top of the tongue against the roof of the mouth just behind the front teeth. This helps link the two circuits.

Linking these circuits stimulates the intuitive faculties and is also recommended in some yoga and meditation practices.

Quickly develop your intuitive skills through acupressure. It is simple, inexpensive, and portable.
