Quick Tips
Stress Management
If you have any difficulty in clearing your mind of the distractions of daily life, sit for a few seconds with your fingertips of your right hand lightly touching the fingertips of your left hand. This will automatically harmonize your energies.
Place the tip of your index finger on the base of the thumb, and gently press the thumb on the index finger—this mudra sedates the restless and anxious mind, calms overcharged nervous system, and relaxes spastic muscles
Hold your index finger with all the fingers of the opposite hand, wrapping them around it for 1 minute feeling the energy pulse. Switch to the other side and hold for 1 minute. This helps to calm an anxious mind.
Emotional Stress Release – Whenever you are under pressure, hurt or shocked, take the emotional edge off by holding your ‘Oh my God’ points, the prominent points on your forehead. Put your fingertips over your forehead, on the prominent bony points above your eyebrows. Keep them there while you think through the problem. This shortcircuits the classic stress response.
The ESR technique activates reflexes that bring sufficient blood to the frontal lobes of the brain. When we are in a fight or flight response the blood gets diverted to the occipital area where alarm and vigilance responses take place. Diverting the blood to the frontal area allows you to find new ways of looking at old problems, new possibilities, and alternative solutions.
Healthy Immune System
Place your left thumb over your left ring fingernail ( this helps to clear the chest). Place your right hand over your left shoulder close to the neck (this revitalizes ascending energy) Bring knees together so that their inner sides touch (this revitalizes descending energy) Repeat on the other side.
