“Letting go”

Owner from Balance for Life

I have recently looked up an acupressure point in one of my favourite books “ Five elements” by John Kirkwood. A point that I often use to facilitate “letting go” which can be a physical holding on like a tension or an emotional holding which most of my clients present with one way or another.
I stumbled upon this very nice explanation of “ letting go “ I think is worth sharing:
Letting go of these things is not as simple as it may sound. Friends may advise you to just “let go” as if it were as simple as taking off a coat or setting down a suitcase. The problem is that our holding on is not of that kind. Rather, it is borne of longstanding habits, patterns, attitudes and beliefs. Letting go is not something you actually do. In fact, it happens when there is no doing. Letting go is surrender, acceptance. It is being present with what is here now in this moment. Being in the now is the antidote to holding on to memories of the past and projections of the future.

The acupressure point I use is Large Intestines 4 and must not be used in pregnancy!
It’s found if you tuck your thumb into the side of your hand a crease is being made. At the end of the crease is a bulge. Press your opposite thumb into the muscle of the highest point of the bulge. Direct pressure towards the hand. Like this you are basically holding your own hands. I invite you to spend some quiet time with this point. You will be bringing yourself back to yourself in the present moment. It will support you in “letting go” of all those things that are no longer helpful to you, no longer serve you and your well-being.
Hold for a few minutes or until the sensitivity decreased. Bring all the attention to the physical sensation and any feelings that may arise.

With much love ❤️
