Acupressure for Stress and Anxiety ~ Yin Tang Point

Pressure Point Extra-1 (Yin Tang)

Pressure point Extra-1 is also called Yin Tang. It is at the midpoint (the center) between your eyebrows (see Figure 1). Doing acupressure on this point can help with stress and anxiety.

Do not do acupressure on this point if:

  • The skin at or near the point is peeling or blistering.
  • There is an open wound at or near the point.
  • There is a rash at or near the point.
  • There is redness, swelling, warmth, or pus at or near the point.

How to find pressure point Extra-1

To find pressure point Extra-1:

  1. Place yourself in a comfortable position. You can sit, stand, or lie down.
  2. Using any hand, place your thumb at the midpoint (the center) between your eyebrows (see Figure 2). This is pressure point Extra-1. If you have trouble finding it, make sure your thumb is on your forehead. Do not put your thumb on the bridge of your nose.
     
  3. Press down on this point with your thumb. Move your thumb in a circle while applying pressure. You can move it in clockwise (to the right) or counterclockwise (to the left) circles. Do this for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Some people may find it hard to use their thumb. You can use your index finger instead.
  • Be firm when applying pressure, but do not press so hard that it hurts. You may feel some aching or tenderness, but it should not be painful. If you feel any pain, you’re pressing down too hard.

You can do acupressure on this point a few times a day until your symptoms improve.

Acupressure is a complementary therapy. Complementary therapies are treatments you can use along with your cancer treatments. They can help ease your symptoms.

The Pineal Gland is magical...article

To continue with the article on the pineal please see link below

The magical pineal

Starting with sleep, the proper function of the pineal gland is fundamental.

 

It secretes melatonin, the sleep hormone, in response to the light-dark cycle.  It’s regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus.  It controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms.

It’s also responsible for producing serotonin.  Serotonin is your happy hormone and its functions include regulating mood, behaviour and digestion.

Yes plants are in a confused state in my garden too, my grape hyacinths have sprouted also and we arnt even fully out of summer yet, they just got a dump of rain and then thought it was spring IDK?.. ahh I wasn't sure if you lived on the boat cos you just seemed to mention it a bit... hope your friend owner of it gets well soon.. yes these price rises for food is ridiculous and are total greed in my eyes, I really feel for the low income earners as I have no idea how they are feeding themselves with these prices, even I'm struggling slightly and I'm not on a low income I'm on the middle income.. so something has to be done soon, the Govt here is doing nothing they are bickering about the subsidised school lunch mess as a disaster at present, but that's not helping the households who cant even feed themselves.

Thanks Vlada, I hope so too....Pieris is blooming well, so many signs of springtime, I saw a ladybird yesterday, quite a few big bees and big wasps !

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
