Reflexology and Acupressure of TCM - Courses East-West Integrated

If you are looking for a Reflexology course or are wondering between Reflexology and Acupressure, this is a combination course of both: >>> Courses for Reflexology and Acupressure - East - West combined.

Here is the whole study of Reflexology and Acupressure - for those who are learning about the course, or who are studying about Reflexology and Acupressure.

Reflexology course and Acupressure course, which one should you choose?

1. Reflexology and Acupressure, definitions and differences

#Define

1.1. Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.

Simple to say: Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. 

It’s based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems: 

Reflexology involves areas of the body

People who practice this technique are called reflexologists.
Reflexologists believe that applying pressure to these parts offers a range of health benefits

1.2. Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique similar in principle to acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through "meridians" in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.


Simple to say: Acupressure Used for thousands of years in China, acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture to promote relaxation and wellness and to treat disease. Sometimes called pressure acupuncture, Acupressure is often thought of as simply acupuncture without the needles.

#Reflexology and Acupressure: understand the difference

Different
1. Reflexology is a regional therapy for hands, feet, or ears. Acupressure is therapy on the whole body, pressure points based on acupuncture points.

2. Reflexology is based on the theory of body connections (arms, legs, ears) with the whole body. Acupressure is based on the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine - the theory of acupuncture

3. Reflexology originates from China and India, and is popular in Europe and America. Acupressure originated from China, and is popular in Asia and America.

The same:

It is the impact of pressing on the pressure point of the body

2. Choose Reflexology course and Acupressure course, which one is better? 

Reflexology is not as complicated as Acupressure. Reflexology is easy to learn and apply, there are not many complex theories for Reflexology.

Acupressure is based on Chinese acupuncture theory, it is very complicated, and even covers Reflexology.

So, in terms of medicine (doctrine), Acupressure is better than Reflexology.

The course covers both Reflexology and Acupressure: 
>>> Integrated East - West Course


#Why is the East and West reflexology course integrated? 
In fact, all of the courses found on Google, have a strong identity of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy:

• Balance with Yin and Yang
• Latent energy - intrinsic: Jing - Qi - Shen (three treasures)
• Indirect treatment - means impact on the cause of the disease

That is according to common understanding. In fact, in the Medicine, Principles and philosophy circles are listed as follows:

#Eight principles

Identifying and distinguishing the syndrome according to the Eight Principles is one of the core concepts of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis.

8 principles of TCM evaluate symptoms and ultimately help bring patients back into balance. It is not like anything used to diagnose and heal diseases in Western medicine.

Yin and Yang energy are two of the eight principles of imbalance assessment. Like Yin and Yang, six other principles are symbiotic opposition.

#Philosophy Yin and Yang 
The two Yin and Yang forces create Qi and control this living energy flow in the body. If the yin and yang are harmonious, the good Qi flow will show a good health.

Physical or mental disorder will upset the balance between yin and yang and lead to Qi changes. Therefore, disorders that occur can develop into serious illnesses.

Mental changes are more important than physical transformation (body).

Yin and Yang have an interactive relationship and include: in Yin contain Yang, in Yang contain Yin.

#Reflexology is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and it is also based on the principles and philosophy of TCM.

Description diagram for Jing Qi Shen:

Chinese masters used the term Jing - Qi - Shen to talk about acupressure. Especially Western science (Western medicine) often uses the term Qi for reflexology.

#Western Physical Science (Western Medicine) integrates with reflexology (a form of acupuncture):

These are the new things of physical science that penetrate the acupuncture area:

1. Electronics penetrate acupuncture (acupressure): Acupuncture electricity
2. Sonopuncture penetrates into acupuncture / reflexology: Sonopuncture is a stimulation of the body similar to acupuncture using sound instead of needles. This may be done using purpose-built transducers to direct a narrow ultrasound beam to a depth of 6–8 centimetres at acupuncture meridian points on the body. Alternatively, tuning forks or other sound emitting devices are used.

Those are two very large and new issues today. So I just summarize the summary.

Now I will introduce the hot style reflexology courses, integrated by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine. And then there are the courses out there, along with related questions about today's reflexology courses.

Video introduction of reflexology course:

The link is mentioned in the video: >> Acupressure Therapy

In the video, there are quotes of a few clips of Chinese martial arts films, with the aim of demonstrating the power of Qi in Jing - Qi - Shen.
As far as I know, the potential energy in Chinese martial arts is not simply Qi.

In the East, spiritual practitioners are capable of spiritual powers, but the concept of Qi is only part of the reasoning in the explanation.

In the West, people with power and divine powers, that is Jesus.

The following is an explanation of the Qi in the video based on current research.

The connection between Yin and Yang and Qi

What is Qi?

TCM starts with the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee").

• Qi is energy in the very broadest sense possible.
• Qi is universal.
• Qi embraces all manifestations of energy, from the most material aspects of energy (such as the earth beneath your feet, your computer, and flesh and blood) to the most immaterial aspects (light, movement, heat, nerve impulses, thought, and emotion).

Life, it is said in the Chinese medical classics, is a gathering of Qi. A healthy (and happy) human being is a dynamic but harmonious mixture of all the aspects of Qi that make up who we are.

Qi is in a state of continuous flux, transforming endlessly from one aspect of Qi into another. It is neither created nor is it ever destroyed; it simply changes in its manifestation.


In order to talk about the relationships between the various aspects and manifestations of Qi within a given context, Chinese philosophy employs the concept of yin and yang.

What are yin and yang?

In the Chinese perspective, given the importance of "taking everything as a whole," all things are relative. A thing can be understood only in relation to something else. This is the essential idea behind the use of the terms yin and yang.

Yin and yang are terms used to describe relative opposite qualities or manifestations of Qi. If yin is form, then yang is function. If yin is material, then yang is immaterial.

Yin refers to aspects or manifestations of Qi that are relatively material, substantial, condensing, solid, heavy, descending, cold, moist, cooling, dark, passive and quiescent.

Yang refers to aspects or manifestations of Qi that are relatively immaterial, amorphous, expanding, hollow, light, ascending, hot, dry, warming, bright, aggressive, and active.

Relationship between Qi and yin and yang

Everything that is yin contains some element of yang, and everything that is yang contains some element of yin. There is nothing so solid or material (yin) that does not contain some energetic vibration (yang), and nothing so kinetic or immaterial (yang) that does not also contain some material substance (yin). Even light, so Einstein tells us, has mass.

Yin and yang are continuously changing; they constantly adjust to one another, and are endlessly transforming one into the other in an eternal dance of becoming. This wonderful concept of change is beautifully illustrated in the simple image of the "yin-yang symbol."


When all of the yin and yang aspects of Qi are in harmony with one another, there is health, wellbeing and contentment. When yin and yang are in disharmony, when there is too much or too little of one aspect of Qi relative to another, then there is illness, pain and suffering.

Remember: this course does not have a certificate. If you are serious about your own study, I am confident that you can do good practice like therapists.
And if you need a certificate, I'll have some advice to help you.

B. Reflexology-Acupressure courses are awarded a certificate degree

You can find a lot of reflexology courses in different search engines. So I will have some comments, notes about the reflexology course.

1. Learn reflexology-Acupressure to practice and earn money

I have consulted a lot online, and found that reflexology courses are only for feet. If you want to practice reflexology to make money, you should take a general reflexology course first, then learn more intensive acupressure at your feet. Because the acupressure license will allow you to work more easily, and have more customers

2. Reflexology-Acupressure usually comes with massage.

There are many reflexology and massage styles to practice and earn money. Here are some favorite reflexology - massages - current trends:

• Reflexology-Acupressure japanese style
• Thai reflexology-Acupressure  massage
• Chinese reflexology-Acupressure  massage
• European foot reflexology-Acupressure 

In addition, the tendency of men to massage for reflexology-Acupressure also has the purpose of enjoying massage girls. Therefore, the beauty of reflexology practitioners is also very important. This is a bad thing in society. What I say is a useful warning for those who want spiritual progress. Sex vs. vs. massage - vs acupressure. money, these things will make people without progress in spirituality. Seems far away? At the very least, it is also a moral degradation behavior.

If you are a man and handsome, and you do reflexology, you will have a lot of customers. But sometimes, wear a strange black face in front of female customers, especially bad customers.

Women massage for husbands very well, and the couple can make a lot of money out there, if they are in good health. Reflexology/Acupressure enhances health - The World Health Organization has proven this.

Wish you are healthy, happy, peaceful, when reading here.
