We sleep worse, we seek refuge in food, we find it hard to concentrate and we lack motivation for physical exercise. All this <strong>has a negative impact on our <\/strong>physical, mental, and spiritual <strong>health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Acupressure is an ancient therapy based on <strong>acupuncture points<\/strong> that allows us to <strong>regain<\/strong> <strong>our<\/strong> <strong>lost energy<\/strong> <strong>balance<\/strong> in a natural way. However, instead of using needles, it involves finger pressure. As Philippa Harvey, a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine at SHA tells us, \u2018One of the advantages of this <strong>technique is that it can be done anytime<\/strong>, <strong>anywhere<\/strong> and is recommended for everyone. There are essential pressure points which, when worked on, relax the body, <strong>relieve tension,<\/strong> and help restore balance\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you start to feel stressed or anxious, Philippa\u2019s advice is to \u2018<strong>focus on your breath<\/strong> for a few seconds, breathing calmly and deeply. This makes us <strong>present<\/strong>, aware of these sensations and <strong>recognise<\/strong> what is upsetting us, which helps us calm down, <strong>control our adrenaline<\/strong> levels and distance ourselves from that particular emotion. Next, press with your thumb for about 10 seconds on the <strong>7th point of the Heart Meridian,<\/strong> known as the bliss point. It is located past your little finger towards the crease of your wrist and <strong>promotes relaxation<\/strong>, improving our emotions. Then, do the same on the other hand.<\/p>\n<p>Another key point to <strong>relieve stress and anxiety<\/strong> is under the nail bed of the ring finger, on the side of the index finger. Press it with your thumb for about 10 seconds and then switch hands\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the hands, there are also other acupressure points that promote relaxation <strong>and help us to calm down<\/strong>. \u2018With two index fingers, press and rub the back of your head for 15 seconds, just at the level of your hairline. And, to <strong>combat insomnia<\/strong> and sleep better, press your back at the level of your third lumbar vertebra for about 30 seconds. Then breathe consciously, relax your jaw and repeat the above points,&#8221; concludes the expert.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on traditional Chinese medicine and natural therapies, <a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/en\/sha-integrative-method\/natural-therapies\/\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ancient discipline is a very effective natural remedy for calming negative emotions and relaxing the body quickly.
