  3. Damn! I forgot I’m a certified shiatsu practitioner and I can help my cat

    I started studying the meridians according to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine how I used to do at shiatsu school: hand drawing the map of the points with relevant details for locations

  4. The EnergyPoints App has received a $2M+ Phase II SBIR grant from the NIH/NCI to advance her mission: bringing evidence-based acupressure and integrative self-care tools to cancer survivors — right from their phones.

    This funding supports a national decentralized clinical trial of the EnergyPoints app — guiding users through personalized acupressure routines to manage fatigue and sleep disturbances.

  5. I finally caved to the #guashua trend & picked up a combo #EcoTools jade roller with gua sha at Dollarama for $5 CAD. After washing them, I tried some gentle scraping with the gs before bed & I don't know if it's placebo effect or not, but I feel it helped me fall asleep faster (I usually take at least an hr to wind down). I know most use them for beauty & aging, but I was trying more for #acupressure benefits. 1/

  6. In fun news, I have begun watching Kaos. On the other end of things, my left thumb joint is knobbly. I’ve been using an #acupressure ring for a few days, you roll it up and down the fingers, they feel warmer and looser afterwards. Idk that that’s caused it, my thumbs have wanted repeated clicking for maybe 20 years, also the bottom joints of my middle fingers, but less so. My constant shoulder stiffness doesn’t help at all. Left thumb is stiffest, I now notice. Damn.

  7. CW: eating habits, #3goodThings #rebs3Things

    1 I allowed myself to skip choir, again [yes, currently that's a good thing].

    2 More than 45 minutes on the #acupressure mat with #ASMR on my ears. Bliss.

    3 Did a 40 minute-walk during lunchtime - even though this meant I only ate a pear, a cucumber, a bell pepper and a handful of pecan nuts until 7pm.

  8. Most spike mats are for the back.
    The one I bought is for the feet only. Plastic spikes.
    (I'd rather have a mat with copper, iron, nickel, silver + zinc spikes, but since I'm allergic to nickel I didn't dare buy it.)

    First time, 10 min with socks on: painful.
    After a few times I could tolerate it better. Now: 30 min without socks.
    Result after 3 weeks: nil.
    But n=1.

    Perhaps spike mats may help others.

  9. Spike mat aka acupressure mat aka shakti mat.

    Benefits reported by some:
    Improved sleep, reduced headaches, loosened muscles, and reduced pain.

    "The mat stimulates pressure points near meridians, meaning that tensions and energy can flow freely.”

    Covid affected my nerves. I got inner vibrations (tremors) in my lower legs/feet and shooting neuralgia across my head and face - among other things.

    So I bought a Swedish spike mat.

  10. Great to see these simple, non-pharmacological interventions getting traction. It would be a bit of a stretch to say that this is "based on Traditional Chinese Medicine", but it is certainly true, that a similar understanding of the body, as a self-healing, dynamic whole, underlies it.
