Acupressure Stress Management

With Deep Breathing, Pressing and Tapping K 27
Stress makes problems worse — especially health problems. Over 80% of our most common complaints are caused or worsened by stress.

The good news is that Acupressure points can resolve hundreds of stress syndromes. These are problems that millions of people suffer from, but you can learn how to relieve them with easy-to-learn techniques.

Acupressure points are not only the key places where our tension and stress accumulate, they are also the most effective spots on the body to release stress and stress-related problems.
Stress Can Strangle Your Life
Michael Gach grew up in Los Angeles, one of the most stressful cities in the United States. He developed a strong interest in learning how to deal with everyday stress, since he witnessed L.A. grow from a large town in the 1950s to the high-powered, stressful, big-city living there now. Growing up in Los Angeles, he experienced how more and more people led stressful lives. This inspired him to develop effective self-care methods that relieve tension and counteract stress.

He developed a great aspiration to show hundreds of thousands of people how to take care of themselves, with simple self-care methods using Acupressure points. He found that combining Acupressure point stimulation with gentle stretches, positive affirmations, and slow, deep breathing heightens a person's ability to relieve stress even more effectively. His many books, the audios mp3s called Stress Relief and Sleep Better, and the Acupressure videos all present how to use stress-management techniques with many important Acupressure points.
Deep Breathing and Stress Relief
Deep breathing is vital for relieving stress. When you're stressed out, you breathe shallowly, and your body doesn't get enough oxygen. Breathing deeply enables the stress being held within your body to release. When your body's chemistry has increased oxygen levels, the stress doesn't accumulate, but instead gets released through complete exhalation. 
Using the Elegant Mansion Point K 27
There’s a great deep breathing Acupressure stress-reduction point on your chest, K 27, that opens the breathing passages. This point, called Elegant Mansion, is located in the hollow below the head of your collarbone, next to your breastbone. This immune boosting point is effective for clearing stress, relieving chest congestion, and opening up the breathing passages.
Holding K 27
This Acupressure point can be held throughout the day – using firm, steady pressure and breathing deeply. This can help get a handle on stresses in life. We all have stress in our lives, and most people know how draining that can become.

The idea here is not to analyze your behavior or your difficulties. Instead, learn how to counteract your stress by holding K 27, as you breathe deeply into this point. Inspire yourself to breathe deeply into any stress you have in your body, transforming it into usable healing energy.

By holding K 27 firmly on both sides, while breathing deeply into the pressure being applied, you can cultivate the courage to face the causes of your stress and the obstacles in your life, and learn to rejuvenate yourself. You can also simply hold this point with one hand while you’re busy doing other things during the day, such as reading or talking on the phone.
Tapping K 27
While taking deep breaths, try tapping these points on both sides at the same time. Tapping activates the points, which makes the Acupressure results occur faster and more dramatically. This is why tapping Acupressure points has grown so popular.

However, these results do not last as long as other Acupressure Therapy methods. If you simply hold the point at various depths of pressure while you breathe deeply, you may find using this Acupressure point even more relaxing, and it opens your healing energy on a deeper level.
