Soul Lightening Acupressure

Soul Lightening Acupressure (SLA) is a unique form of holistic healing that addresses the whole person: the body, mind, emotions, and spiritual aspects.

 Clinical Acupressure

This form of acupressure involves gentle finger pressure massage on acupressure points on the body and is administered with the client fully clothed, lying on a comfortable treatment table. More than 80 acupressure formulas are available to address a wide variety of health concerns.

Clinical Acupressure is an excellent alternative to acupuncture for people who don’t like needles.

Seva Stress Release

SEVA is a Sanskrit word for compassionate selfless service. Seva Stress Release was created as a gift to the world to relieve suffering by the teachers of Soul Lightening Acupressure following the events of September 11, 2001. It was first taken to ground zero in New York City to treat those who endured tremendous shock and stress. It can provide a profound turning point for the individual to move toward true healing at the deepest levels.

This formula was designed to:

  • provide a strong calming and centering experience
  • relieve everyday stress or extreme stress
  • be grounding and stabilizing
  • support people who are dealing with trauma

Process Acupressure

Process Acupressure (PA) is a unique therapeutic modality that integrates bodywork with mental, emotional, and spiritual processing through deep relaxation and balancing the body’s energy systems. Clients are empowered to control the pace and depth of this exploration at all times. It is administered with clients fully clothed, lying on a comfortable treatment table.

PA is a gentle, safe way to explore:

  • feelings and emotional patterns
  • relationship challenges
  • physical symptoms
  • work-related concerns
  • creativity issues
  • spiritual questions and aspects of life

You can set up a series of sessions to work on ongoing issues or an occasional, single session to explore an issue from a new perspective.

The seasonal shift towards autumn is in full swing with our typical hot, Indian summer days, cool mornings and evenings.  In Chinese medicine we look at not only the weather but the energy of the season and how it affects us. Summer is energetically expansive, whereas autumn beckons us to contract and go deeper internally as we prepare for the colder, darker months. We know that there is an end to the summer warmth and expansion  so we savor these precious days. The autumn harvest of delicious fruits and vegetables is abundant and...

Living Well with Chronic Pain

Being a health care practitioner is wonderful, and it is not easy. It is, in my opinion, a calling. Most of the people I know who are long time, committed health care practitioners, got into the work through their own health problems. They were sick or in some kind of major pain or distress that did not resolve easily and began seeking healing and answers for their own health issues. Eventually they found some healing and relief and along the way, they found a calling to become a health care practitioner themselves. Most of us, who got...

5 Steps to a Healthy Autumn

Autumn is in the air and we live in such a glorious climate! Enjoy the honey, golden warmth and cool mornings and evenings. We, here in the Bay Area, generally have another six weeks of beautiful weather and then can expect the                                         shift to rain and chill. These changing climates and energetic patterns can be hard on our bodies (and psyches) and can result in susceptibility to viruses, secondary...
