Relaxation and Acupressure for Parents,

Caregivers and Children

Our society likes to picture childhood as a safe, carefree time, but children and adolescents these days are under extraordinary pressure to achieve in the classroom and on the sports field, to please parents, teachers and coaches. Our children are caught up in the constant hurry of modern society and are often overwhelmed by choice. They may have to deal with the stresses of a blended family and/or parental separation, poor self esteem, peer pressures, feeling different due to physical and intellectual issues, race, cultural issues etc.

The current high levels of suicide, depression and drug abuse among our youth highlight the fact that childhood and adolescence can be a time of significant stress and turmoil.

Children and adolescents are not immune to stress, but are wonderfully receptive to learning stress management skills and relaxation techniques. The proof of this was in several Primary classes, where the children were gleaning the benefits of the relaxation sessions I was doing with them. Several of them took these stress management tools home with them and used them there, with terrific results – less meltdowns, feeling in control of themselves, calming and relaxing quickly and independently!

Over the past 30 years, I have specialized as a Child and Youth Counsellor, teaching children about their behaviour, how it affects themselves and others and how to make good choices and use problem solving techniques that work. This involvement with children and sometimes their parents and teachers, has confirmed the level of stress all walks of people and children are trying to cope with. With this crisis at hand, I went back to school and became a Stress Consultant and Relaxation Therapist, Cognitive Behaviour Therapist, Meridian Energy Therapsit and EFT Practitioner( acupressure with positive affirmations).

My goal is help people help themselves live a better more balanced quality of life, in a holistic way using Alternative Therapies.

The main presenting symptoms of stress in the children and adolescents I have seen are:

anxiety, specific fears, avoidance
low self-esteem
sleep disturbances
excessive anger, explosiveness
moodiness
difficulty with concentration, focus and memory
oversensitive / being easily upset.

To help reduce stress levels, regain confidence and promote a sense of being in control, there are a number of simple techniques that children and adolescents can learn. These include breathing awareness, autogenic and progressive muscle relaxation and creative visualisation, as well as the knowledge of acupressure for their emotional healing.

Acupressure stimulates the same points as acupuncture, but instead of needles, uses a firm pressure of the hands or the fingers to release muscular tension, promoting the circulation of blood and stimulating the body’s natural self curative abilities. Acupressure reaches to the core of many emotional disorders and stress related physical issues. Acupressure utilizes the sensitivity of the human hand to release endorphins, your body’s natural pain relieving chemical. As the point is held, muscular tension gives into the finger pressure, enabling the fibers of the muscle to elongate and relax the blood to flow and toxins to be released and flushed through the body. Stress and emotional disturbances inhibit the flow of energy. Tension accumulates at these acupressure points. People “get stuck” with this negative energy and recycle negative thoughts and feelings. This tendency blocks a person from moving forward with their lives and they remain stagnant and negative. When blood and bioelectrical energy circulate properly, you have a greater sense of harmony, health and well being.

Children and adults need to have their energy balanced regularly to be able

to function at their best every day!

Therefore, I am promoting a chance for parents, caregivers and children to attend relaxation sessions, learning relaxation tools and acupressure. When learning Acupressure for Emotional Healing, children and adults become more calm, more aware people, who will independently prevent emotional breakdowns and become proactive and responsible for their behaviour, feelings and thoughts.

We want the children of tomorrow to have the skills to be responsible for their own wellness.

We need to teach them the tools!

Advantages of Energy Therapy

Charles Figley, Ph.D., of the Psychological Stress Research Program and Clinical Laboratory at Florida State University reported five advantages of using TFT (and energy therapy) over all other tested therapeutic approaches in reducing the impact of trauma. Figley stated:

1. It is powerful. All clients (in his study) received nearly immediate relief and this appears to be permanent.

2. It can be taught to anyone so clients can treat themselves and others.

3. It appears to do no harm.

4. It does not require the client to talk about their troubles.

5. It works.

In addition, Energy Therapies do not involve surgical procedures, needles, pain, pills or chemicals, pushing or pulling on the body and have no side effects. And they are very fast, taking only a few minutes have no side effects at all and can be self-administered anytime, anywhere and these techniques are very fast, taking only a few minutes, have no side effects at all and can be self-administered anytime, anywhere.
