Canine Acupressure for Anxiety

by

 These acupressure points are a super helpful tool in helping your dog relax and breath deeply.

Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 3,000 years ago, using the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension, and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force energy (Qi or chi) to promote health and healing. Using the same points as Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure applies a comfortable range of pressure from gentle to firm. Acupressure is safe, non-toxic and definitely habit forming… And the animals absolutely love it!

To perform acupressure, place the ball of your thumb or middle finger on the acupressure point. Gently apply direct pressure (approximately 2-4 pounds of pressure) to the point while exhaling. Use prolonged pressure directly on the point; gradual, steady, penetrating pressure for approximately three minutes is ideal. Slowly release the point while inhaling and move on to the next point. Use and trust your intuition as the dog will often guide you and direct you on the length of time and amount of pressure they desire.

You choose the order in which you would like to do them…or how many you do….trust yourself, relax, breath deeply and go with the flow of energy.

Relaxing de-Spook Acupoints

by

 


Some horses are just naturally spooky, reacting to their environment with anxiety and jumpiness. Others, due to past experiences, have developed a wariness and fearful reaction when they encounter a trigger which switches the brain from the frontal lobe to the back which is flight or fight.

These helpful acupoints are very effective in soothing, calming and relaxing our horse friends.

 

 

Equine Acupressure for Grief & Depression

by

Horses do experience grief. When one of their herd members die, they mourn for them. They understand that death is a natural reality of living, and often celebrate their fellow horse’s passing. At the same time, physically and mentally they do miss the lost member, experiencing emotions of sadness and loss, which can make them stiff, moody, lethargic, solitary, unaffectionate, and sometimes, depressed. The horses themselves suggested these acupressure points to help them to  relax naturally and recover from the loss of a loved one. Acupressure has been around for over 3,000 years. It is a natural and easy tool to use with horses.  All you have to do, is apply some pressure, using your thumb, 3rd finger, knuckles or palms on a point which is mapped out below. Press on these points letting the horse guide you, if the horse leans in, continue as long as you like. If you feel like  briskly rubbing in the area surrounding the point, do so. This will improve circulation and cheers the horse up.  If the horse moves away, continue on to another point. Do a few when you are spending time with your horse. Humming and singing, while you do the points, also has a cheering affect. The horses would appreciate this  immensely and  thank you, now,  in advance!
