Process Acupressure (PA) was developed by Aminah Raheem, Ph.D. as a holistic way to work with the active energy of both body and soul for healing and growth. She has taught the method internationally for more then twenty five years.
PA is an exceptionally effective method for facilitating a deep, supportive, and potentially transformational experience. It is a gentle and simple way to enhance health, personal awareness and growth.
The session is given while the client rests on a massage table, fully clothed. The practitioner applies firm, gentle finger pressure to specific acupoint combinations, and encourages the client to notice what they are experiencing. Often, by acknowledging and addressing what arises in the mind, emotions, body and spirit during a session, positive change can begin to occur. The unique essence of the individual is magnified and brought into clearer focus.
The client is empowered to choose the pace and depth of this exploration at all times. A full session lasts about one hour.
PA can stand alone as a therapeutic modality or it can be combined with psychotherapy or other bodywork modalities. It does not replace medical care, and is not appropriate for severe medical problems or psychosis.
