Looking Behind to Cure Fatigue and Distress
Acupressure Benefits: This acupressure point and exercise will relieve a stiff and sore neck, a sore throat, and even exhaustion and stress to increase relaxation to your whole body.
- Begin as usual sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor, back fully supported by the back of your chair.
- Breathe in and out through your nose only slowly 6 to 12 times while concentrating on the movement of energy and oxygen throughout your body.
- Keep your arms to your sides, but with your elbows slightly bent, palms facing the floor.
- Breathe in through your nose and then as you breathe out through your mouth, turn your head slowly to the left side.
- As you return your head back to the center, breathe in through your nose. Try to breathe in and out in time with the movement of your head.
- Turn your head to the right now as you breathe out through your mouth and breathe in again as you return your head to the center.
- Continue turning your head from side to side for about 12 times.
- You can find the acupressure point labeled B 10, on the illustration above.
- These points are located on the two large ropy muscles that are about half an inch on either side of the spine.
- Press firmly on these two points with your fingers for no less than a full minute while breathing slowly in and out through your nose.
Please consult with your physician or health care provider before starting any new exercise program.
