Acupressure Roots
Acupressure ~ Acupressure is often described as "acupuncture without the needles." Acupressure also predates acupuncture, is part of traditional Chinese medicine, and is based on the theory of "QI". Qi is often called "life energy," which flows through channels in the body known as meridians. Finger and thumb pressure is applied to certain acupoints to relieve specific ailments and promote health and harmony. It is widely practiced in China but still finding its way in the Western world.
Several acupuncturists also use acupressure. The most common form of acupressure in China is called "tuina." In Japan, the most common form is "anma". Acupressure is a system of massage that promotes the circulation of life energy. The principles of stimulating points on the meridians are the same whether needles or fingers are used. Another acupressure system is called "shin tao, "possibly the oldest form. The Japanese version of acupressure "anma" has developed into what is now called shiatsu.
Sin may play a role in sickness, the Bible tells us, but acupuncturists, however, make no allowance for this Biblical principle.
The Bible is the yardstick for healing and tells Christians what to do when sick (James 5:14-16). If only people would examine their hearts for sin (rather than their feet), they would receive more than physical healing. But the devil's strategy is to keep man's eyes off the real cause of illness.
Acupuncture cannot be reconciled with Science or the Bible and is a demonically inspired prescription for healing based on the health principles of Taoism. Whoever uses acupuncture rejects the God of the Bible and turns to an idol for healing.
