Self Help via Pressure Point Massages

Ever wonder why some people rub their temples in a cyclic fashion when they are trying to remember something or thinking deeply?

Have you noticed that people run their hands from the top of their forehead, stroking their hair backwards... and seem to feel freshened up?

Have you seen people rubbing the bridge of the nose when they seem to try finding a solution to a problem?

Well, all these are not just random acts. These are scientifically proven massages on pressure points that are known to provide results. Known as the Shiatsu Self Massage, the technique provides more massage techniques than just the above three. These massages are known to address issues including discrimination and tolerance to blood circulation and creativity.

Shiatsu is essentially a technique originating from Japan. Shiatsu comes from the Japanese words shi for finger and atsu for pressure. It is based on the same fundamentals as acupressure. Akin to Reiki, this technique also seeks to resolve imbalances in the body energy levels. The Wiki link provided below has good documentation on the origins, basic theory behind Shiatsu and other relevant details.
