Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT)
The Tapas Acupressure Technique is an energy release technique that helps release putative energy blockages, hypothesized to be related to some form of trauma. Putative energies, also called “biofields,” refer to a belief in the presence of subtle energy fields surrounding and impacting all people and living things. Applying the fundamental theories behind acupressure and acupuncture therapies in the use of meridians, the Tapas Acupressure Technique focuses on putting light pressure on four specific points on the skull to help reduce stress by releasing these blockages. The Tapas Acupressure Technique is also often accompanied by meditative techniques to help clear the mind of any stress or ruminative thoughts to help promote further relaxation and help clear the blocked energy pathways.
How is TAT performed?
The Tapas Acupressure Technique is performed by applying light pressure on four specific points around the head and making a series of nine statements.1 The four points on the head include the medial corners of both eyes, the area one-half-inch above the space between the eyebrows, and the back of the head. Applying light pressure to these specific points combined with practicing meditative techniques to help soothe and relax your body is thought to help clear putative energy blocks, which will help alleviate stress and anxiety. The process takes about 20 minutes.
