Stressed? Try "Acupuncture's Chill Pill"

By Angie
This is one of the many little tidbits that I share on Affordable Acupuncture's Facebook page, but I thought it would be good to share it here too! Make sure you 'like' us on facebook if you like inspiration and information like this. 

If you are feeling stressed or anxious, try this acupressure technique: 

Use the tip of your index finger to apply gentle but firm acupressure on YinTang, also known as "Acupunctures Chill Pill", located between your eyebrows (see photo). Close your eyes, and focus on making your breaths slow and deep whilst you maintain pressure on the point. 

If you like visualisations, you can imagine white or golden light entering YinTang on the inbreath, and suffusing through your body on the outbreath. Aim for 10 breaths, although you might enjoy it so much you want to do it for longer! You should feel calmer and more balanced afterwards. Enjoy.
