Gazing at Fractals for Stress Relief

REDUCE YOUR STRESS LEVEL BY 60% ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY!

There is nothing demanding about looking at a fractal.

Fractals are patterns found in nature, such as the petals of a flower, a spiderweb or a snowflake. Even your body is full of fractals! Consider your veins, nerves, lungs….all fractals. Patterns are the spectacular building blocks all around us, within us and outside of us.

Think about the lovely sense of calm you experience after staring up at the clouds, watching the ocean waves roll one after another or looking at the branches of a tree sway in the breeze. You can thank the fractals. The repeating patterns found throughout nature in trees, clouds, plants, flowers, rivers and coastlines are simply stress reducing magic 💫.

Acupressure Points for Calmness and Immune Support

Yin Tang
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
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
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.
LI14
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.
