☀️ About this special Raft event
Let’s start the new year by addressing our stress! Practitioner Valerie Campbell will teach us a form of relieving stress with self-acupressure.
Acupressure is the practice of applying hand or finger pressure to specific energetic or conductive points on the body. It is based upon the same ancient principles as the art of acupuncture but uses curved finger pressure instead of needles on the points. Recipients of this work report feeling nurtured and supported.
More specifically, Val will teach us a form of acupressure called the SEVA stress release method. (Seva is a Sanskrit word meaning “compassionate service.”) This method was developed for first responders in the aftermath of 9/11 by faculty members of what is now called Insight Acupressure. Since 2001, it has been used around the world to help relieve pain, stress, and anxiety—not only by individuals but at hospitals, refugee camps, and disaster sites.
☀️ What this practice involves
You can administer this acupressure protocol to yourself or to another person who is seated or lying down.
The receiver stays fully clothed in a comfortable resting place. Fifteen specific points on the body are accessed, in order, with firm but gentle finger pressure. A session takes 15-20 minutes to complete.
This protocol is only one of many used in Insight Acupressure. For information about the effectiveness of SEVA, visit this link.
☀️ How to attend
No payment required. Val and I are offering this training as a gift. Register by midnight ET on Saturday, January 24.
Remember, this event may run slightly more than an hour, depending on the number of participant questions after the training portion. Leave whenever you need to.

☀️ About Valerie Campbell
Val is an Insight Acupressure practitioner and faculty member, plus a massage therapist. (When I wanted to call her a “healer” here, based on personal experience, she said, “We’re all healers.”)
A resident of Silver Spring, MD, Val is a longtime follower of my work. You might remember her from Poetry Pick-Me-Up, Joysters, or a multitude of other Raft goings-on. I met her in person for the first time during my recent participation in the We Are America March. She showed up twice to ease my aching body. What a generous, gifted spirit!
☀️ Val and I would love to have you with us for this special hour-plus! Will you come?
