Reiki uses the palm of the hand to channel universal
life energy. Since the acupressure points conduct this energy, the
principles of channeling Reiki can be used on these healing points
effectively. Integrating Reiki and acupressure enables a practitioner
to tap into Traditional Chinese Medicine's tremendous wealth of
ancient healing knowledge - information that's point specific.
Reiki can be used on all 365 traditional acupressure points. If
you know Reiki, try using the following points, illustrated from
