(By: Dr. Stephen Michael Monasingh)

KOKORO KI KARADA (MIND-SPIRIT-BODY) INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF MARTIAL ARTS  AND MASSOTHERAPY SERVICE

ALL PRAISES, HONOUR AND GLORY BELONG TO GOD

 (Founded: 25 APR 1963 – Nat. Reg. Nr: 30431)

 

 

There are 14 Channels of energy (Meridians) in the human body : Lung; Large Intestine; Stomach; Spleen; Heart; Small Intestine; Urinary Bladder; Kidney; Heart Governor (Blood Circulation; Heart and Sex Organs); Triple Warmer (Respiration; Digestion and Genitourinary Functions); Gall Bladder; Liver; Governing Vessel (Physical Energy); and Conception Vessel (Sexual Energy).

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

- To locate acupressure point, imagine the compass for direction. North is always at the top and East, to the right;

- The joints of the index finger are referred to as “Suns”. E.g : one joint = one “Sun”. The length of the patient’s index finger joint (“Sun”) MUST BE USED FOR MEASUREMENT! [Not that of the person administering the treatment];

- To apply treatment, locate acupressure point and depress firmly. Massage in a small circle without leaving point, in a clockwise direction for tonification or in an anti-clockwise direction for sedation;

 

 WARNING!

 DO NOT MASSAGE ACUPRESSURE POINT FOR ANY LONG PERIOD!

When the acupressure point is massaged, the Central Nervous System is activated to relay impulses to the internal organs which may be malfunctioning.
