This is a wondrous tip from Touch For Health to help you when you're stressed, angry, anxious or disturb. Undertake keeping your frontal eminences. These are bumps on your forehead that many individuals hold instinctively when they're disturb.

For those of you who don't do this of course, let me help you locate them. Feel up from the middle of your eyebrows going towards your hairline. Your forehead comes outwards before it curves back in towards the hairline. Hold your forehead at the points where it’s furthest out - about 3cms (1. 25 inches) above the middle of every eyebrow.

While you hold these points think about the stressful event. It can be something that has already happened, something that is about to happen, or something you fear can never happen! Gradually you ought to find that the stress lessens.

You can use it for little things, but you can also use it for more traumatic events too. If the thoughts/images are too overpowering initially, imagine you’re observing it on a TV - you can always switch it off If becomes too stressful - you're the one in charge. You can watch it in black and white whether or not that feels more comfortable too. Use it to defuse anything that you feel anxious, stressed, angry or fearful about.

You can want to do it several times covering dissimilar distinct features of the problem. You can do them one after the other, or at dissimilar times, whichever feels best for you.

As you hold the points and think about/imagine the event, you will more than likely commence to feel calmer - you can even find that you commence to feel a little bored thinking about this scenario that antecedently stressed or angered you so much.

Why does it work?

These queer points on the forehead, known as frontal eminences, are reflex points with connections to the central meridian (involved with the brain), the stomach meridian (and your stomach often times churns when you're anxious or angry), and the bladder meridian (trips to the loo/bathroom are often times necessary when we're apprehensive).

I recently explained this self-help technique to a business colleague - a keen mountain biker who'd had a severe bike accident at 30 miles an hour and had broken his skull and collar bone. His bones had mended, but he was now occasionally fearful of the sport he loved.

This is what he wrote to me later:

"I don't acknowledge how to thank you enough for the technique you described to me over the phone the other day, it helped me enormously! "

The following week he sent me this message:

"Your tip worked once again last night - went out (in the pitch black with my Light&Motion 'daylighter' light) and did many severe single-tracking and downhilling! ! ! I never thought I'd be doing that again - ever! Thank you so much! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It was brilliant! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

It can be hard to believe that something this simple could be efficacious at removing anxiety and stress, but try it and see.
