Role in the
Caravan
Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure involves applying manual pressure to specific points on the body (meridians) to release tension, increase circulation, and promote balance in the body's energy flow (Qi).
The Science
Acupressure stimulates the release of endorphins—the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. By applying pressure to certain points, we can also influence the autonomic nervous system, helping to shift the body from a 'fight or flight' state to a state of recovery and balance.
Curator's Insight
"We value the wisdom of the body. Acupressure is included as a somatic tool to address the physical manifestations of emotional stress, helping to bridge the gap between mind and body."

At a Glance
"Guided by a practitioner, you will feel firm, targeted pressure on key points. It may feel tender at first, followed by a rush of warmth or a feeling of 'opening' and relief as the tension releases."
Focus on your exhales as the practitioner applies pressure. This helps to consciously release the tension being addressed.
