The Amygdalae resemble small black pearls and are found in both temporal lobes of our brains. They are part of our Limbic System. The Limbic System is the area of our nervous system which controls things such as emotion, mood, memories and processing of fear and anxiety. When we suffer trauma or live in a chronic state of stress, our Amygdalae become larger and more connected to the part of our brain that regulates our emotions. This makes it difficult to feel calm and relaxed causing us to remain in a state of fight or flight. Black Pearl Technique, also known as Amygdala Release is a non-invasive neurovascular therapy that can help shrink the Amygdalae and help balance the autonomic nervous system. It involves gentle stimulation of specific acupoints on the head, neck and face to encourage deep relaxation and surrender. This allows the body to enter a parasympathetic state. The meridians are worked on as well, to encourage a more balanced energy flow in our bodies.
