Acupressure for Releasing Addiction
Acupressure Points balance the healing energy which transforms addictive behaviors. Using the natural therapies of Acupressure, deep breathing, and positive thoughts, here’s a simple Self-Acupressure technique. Are you ready to work on addressing your addictive behavior by practicing this once or twice daily?
Acupressure Routine Directions
Place your fingertips on your temples, in the hollow areas level with and just outside your eyebrows. Place your thumbs on your jaw muscles, between your upper and lower jaws. Press the muscle that pops out when you chew. Clench your back teeth as if you were chewing, then release.
When you clench your teeth, you should also feel a muscle pop out in the temple area, underneath your fingertips. You can rest your elbows on a table for support.

Clench and release in a rhythmic pattern, approximately once per second. Take long, slow deep breaths. Exert steady pressure on these points with the muscle movement, coupled with the deep breathing. As you do the exercise, focus your mind on positive words, such as: safe, calm, healing, peace, and letting go.
Continue clenching and breathing with your eyes closed for 2 or 3 minutes. Most people find it difficult to do this for the full 3 minutes, so you can start with 1 to 2 minutes. Do what you can, and build up your timing slowly to 5 minutes a day. For instance, you may practice this exercise for 2 or 3 minutes, twice a day. For best results, practice this Acupressure exercise daily.
Acupressure points in the temples and jaw activate areas of your brain that govern memory, concentration, mental stress, body temperature, addictions, and obsessions. They also relieve jaw pain and chronic worry.
