Press P 6 and TW 5, the Inner Gate and Outer Gate points, for a few minutes on each side. They are located on the inside and outside of your forearm, two and one-half finger-widths from the wrist crease. Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to hold both points at the same time on your left arm. Then switch and hold the points on your right arm.
Hold the top of the head, Acupressure point GV 20, with the Third Eye point, GV 24.5, to balance the pituitary and pineal endocrine glands. These are also powerful points for overall physical balance and harmony. Breathe deeply and slowly as you hold the points. Using these Acupressure points before going to sleep and when waking up is very healing for fibromyalgia, insomnia, headaches, stress, vertigo, dizziness, and hormonal balance.
