Acupressure Points for Your Brain

A Routine for Improving Your Memory

Acupressure for Headaches, Better Memory, Balancing Brain Chemistry & Recovery From Injuries

First, gently hold GB 20, the Gates of Consciousness points (located under the base of the skull), for 1 to 3 minutes, breathing slowly and deeply. Hold with different amounts of pressure, until you feel pulses on both sides balance.

Then hold both of the following Central Points either separately or together.

GV 26, the Center of the Person point (above the upper lip)

GV 26, good for promoting mental alertness, brain health, mind and body balancing, relieves muscle cramps, dizziness, and instability.

GV 16, relieves mental stress, neck pain, racing thoughts, brain fog, migraine headaches, and helps relieve trauma and shock.

Use gentle touch for two minutes on these Acupressure Points.

GV 16, the Wind Mansion point (center of the base of the skull)

Next, follow up with 5 minutes of Foot Reflexology, by rubbing your feet from ankles to toes, on both the top and bottom.

Always End With the Famous Final Balancing Formula:

Hold GV 20, the Hundred Meeting point (on the crown of the head), with GV 24.5, the 3rd eye point (located between your eyebrows), for two minutes while taking long, slow, deep breaths.

Put your attention on the points being touched, as you breathe deeply through your nose. Holding these two points together can clear the mind, balance the hormones, and may create a unique, wonderful, spiritual experience.

The Sea of Tranquility

Then move your hand down from your 3rd eye point and hold CV 17, the Sea of Tranquility point, which is at the center of the breastbone, level with the creases of your armpits. Continue to breathe deeply and relax.

Please do not underestimate how much healing can result from this simple flow pattern for stabilizing yourself after injuries or a trauma. Let yourself deeply relax for at least 5 to 10 minutes afterwards.

Hoku LI 4

Also hold the famous Hoku point, LI 4 (in the webbing between your thumb and index finger). This point brings the energy down the body, away from the head, and decreases inflammation.

It’s essential to keep your sessions short in the beginning (15 minutes total), especially for trauma and injuries. Later, you can gradually increase the amount of time a few minutes more each week.
