A point reveals itself, because it is sensitive when pressed. Pressure is held 10 seconds or longer until the pain is gone. Trigger-Pointing works by depriving a spasm of oxygen. The healthy body is a finely-tuned organism, balancing positive and negative polarities, as in the earth's magnetic poles. During a treatment, you'll likely experience a deeply relaxed state.
Polarity is performed by touching, or bridging, energetically-interconnected points.
Nerve energy from each of the body's organs connects with specific points in the brain, feet, hands, eyes, ears, neck, and at least 50 other parts of the body. The practitioner applies pressure upon finding hard, painful spots in feet, for example. Invariably, one finds discomfort in various corresponding points, since a problem in one place shows up in others. Reiki is Universal Life Energy that flows through your body and benefits you and everyone you are near. Everyone has a vibrational Reiki-type energy to some extent.
