How is energy released from body during acupressure?

Energy in the body is modified for optimal balance during acupressure. It is never released, perhaps a better Word for it is dispersed. This is done by holding a specific point with more pressure and a longer period of time so its blocked energy gets dispersed, dissipated. The old term for it was sedation. Its opposite is called tonification. And this is done with less pressure for a shorter period of time to energize the point.
