Yin Tang– My FAVORITE point! Located at the mid-point between your eyebrows. Place your index finger, middle finger or thumb between your eyebrows. Apply gentle pressure for at least 60 seconds or up to 5 to 10 minutes. Yin Tang is also known as the “third eye”. You may choose to move your finger in a gentle circular motion on this point. Can you feel the stress melting away?LV3 – Located on the foot between the big toe and second toe. This is a very effective point for releasing stress! Place your finger on the web of skin between the two toes and slide your finger up between the bones until you feel a depression before your metatarsal joint. The point may feel tender. Acupuncturists refer to this as “active”, and use it as an assessment tool which indicates an area that needs attention. Apply gentle pressure for 60 seconds or longer.ST36 – An effective point for stress, fatigue, strengthening Qi and general wellness. This point is located four finger widths below the kneecap, on the outside, in the depression between your shinbone and muscle. Apply pressure for at least 60 seconds or longer. ST36 is helpful in providing stability and grounding.LI4 – A point located on your hand at the thick point of the muscle between the thumb and index finger. Holding or massaging LI4 may assist in combating stress, relieving headaches, moving stagnant energy and supporting the immune system. This is a very easy point to access anywhere at any time. It may feel achy, especially if it needs a little TLC.
