I am so happy and grateful to have found this technique (thumbs to the temple and fingers above the brow) for reducing stress. With one practice my blood pressure returned to normal levels. After another try, ten minutes later (along with visualization during measuring), I am in the excellent range. This is great! I will continue using this to see if it can be sustained over time. And relaxing the shoulders, then looking and reaching up to the sky with a smile feels wonderful as a follow up. I haven’t tried the cool water yet, but it sounds promising too.

It is nice to know that through basic study one realises that a solution is. What needs to be thought of as a better solution is a technique called Pranayam, which with practice is able to control stress.

No – you don’t have to apply any pressure – just keep it comfortable – and keep breathing.

Cyndi, do you have to push hard?

And do you apply more pressure to the temple or to the brow?

guillermo – I will work on getting pictures added – thanks for the suggestion.

John – this technique works well whenever your body gets triggered to activate fight or flight. It can also help when feeling down or stressed. Remember – though – to be sitting when you work with it. If you have been living in a high state of stress it can be kind of a rush when the blood starts to flow back into the brain.

This is so useful, especially with school holidays coming up soon

I will definitely try the thumbs on the temple idea when things get a bit much. Does this also help to calm you down when you experience an emotionally traumatic event?

Thanks Cyndi
