We know that having a balanced mind and body is important for our health and well- being. But with busy schedules and long to do lists, we can often find ourselves feeling stressed, anxious, frustrated, tired or just a little off...

Using acupressure points on ourselves can be a great way to take a moment to calm and care for our mind and body, while re-balancing our body’s energy

ACUPRESSURE POINT SP6

SP6 is one of the most common points to use for treating gynaecological, emotional or digestive issues. This point can help to strengthen our liver-, spleen- and kidney energy, nourish the blood and yin energy, and calm the mind. It can also help to move stagnant energy (often from emotional stress) and remove what in Chinese medicine is known as “dampness” - that often can make us feel sluggish, fatigued and brain fogged. All in all a pretty great point to use whenever you want to re-balance your body´s hormones and energy. 

SP6 is located on the inside of your leg, one hand width from the highest point on your ankle, just off the tibia bone. This point is often very tender, press and hold with medium pressure or massage it gently clockwise while taking 5 deep belly breaths. Pause and repeat three times before moving on to the last point.

Important: do not use this point if pregnant!

Great to combine with YinTang, ST36 and KI1 to calm your mind and relax your body.

THE ACUPRESSURE POINT FOR MORE ENERGY

Today I want to give you a quick tip to help you boost your energy levels! Stomach 36 is THE point to use whenever you're feeling run down, tired and in need of a gentle pick me up. It works by boosting your digestive system which is in charge of transforming your food into energy.

This point is quick and easy to find and great to use when moisturising your legs after your bath or shower. 

How to:

Run your forefinger on the outside of your tibia bone (see photo above). When your finger naturally stops (a little below the knee), the point is just a finger width from your tibia bone. Gently massage or press (holding and releasing every few seconds) to activate the point. Relax and breathe as you do it for a few minutes or for as ever long feels comfortable. 

Happy pressuring mama, 

Love 


 

HEART 7 TO CALM YOUR MIND & SPIRIT

Today I wanna share with you one of my absolute favourite acupressure points -ShenMen (Heart7) which means "Spirit Gate".

According to Chinese Medicine, when we feel safe and protected, our Shen or Spirit is calm and resides in our heart. But anytime we experience large amounts of stress, or sudden emotional shock or trauma however, our spirit can scatter, leaving us feeling anxious, stressed and a little frantic. Luckily, this beautiful point can be used to calm our mind and spirit, easing symptoms of stress, anxiety and feeling scattered.

The point is located on the inner wrist in a little crease. Anytime you feel unsettled or anxious, try using this point by gently tapping on it using your forefinger and middle finger, or apply gentle pressure for 1-3 minutes. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. 

Sending you calm energy and lots of love,

ACUPRESSURE POINT YINTANG

ACUPRESSURE POINT YINTANG FOR CALM & RELAXATION

This week I want to give you a quick tip to help you relax and calm your mind... There is an acupressure point called YinTang that is located between your eyebrows, in the centre. 

There are 3 ways to stimulate this point.

1. Apply medium pressure to the point (enough so it feels tender but not painful, you don't want a bruise). Hold for 3-5 seconds and gently release. Repeat 3-5 times.

2. The easiest and my favourite way is to massage this point in an upward sweeping motion for however long it feels comfortable. This can also help soothe away any frown lines ;)

3. Lying down, place a crystal like rose quartz on Yintang. Close your eyes and breathe... 

This is a great point to use before bed as it can help to calm the mind, ease tension and headaches, and promote restful sleep.

 Wishing you a very happy easter! Lots of love


 

RELAXING FOOT BATH

After a long day on my feet, having a long soak in the bath is my favourite self-care ritual. However if you don't have a bathtub or want to do something simple and lovely for yourself, try a luxurious (but very simple) foot bath! Its a perfect way to de-stress after a long day and lets be honest, our feet do so much for us and we hardly ever pay them any attention.  

For this foot bath I used:

A bowl filled with warm/hot water

2 tbs of pink Himalayan salt (but epsom salt and sea salt are great too)

1tbs of coconut oil

A few slices of lemon

3-4 drops of peppermint and lavender essential oil

A few fresh flowers and dried lavender petals in to make it feel extra luxurious and inviting. 

After soaking them, dry your feet and give yourself a loving foot massage. There is an acupressure point called KI1 located under the soles of your feet. Add some pressure here to help ground and relax you. 

Breathe, relax and show your feet some much deserved love.

Lots of love
