Aside from the 1 million ways you read and listen to stress relief, what you will learn now is the most interesting. There is a simple technique that doctors advise to relieve pain and stress just through ear massage.
Stress is experienced differently depending on the people, but what is common anyway is that everyone who accumulates stress begins to feel uncomfortable, anxious and has the feeling of heaviness or even pain in some parts of the body. The first step in relieving stress is to release negative feelings and then 'remove' the physical effects of stress.
This is where physio-reflexive techniques come into play. Our body has some anti-stress points and all we need is to massage them to relieve stress.
An ancient Chinese called this point located on the upper part of the ear 'Shen men' which means 'Gate to heaven'. Shen men is an anti-stress point that lowers its level, increases energy level and the overall health of the body. This point also reduces inflammation and can relieve pain in almost any part of the body.
How can you do that?
-Take some cotton to press and massage this part of the ear.
- Listen to your body carefully
- Take a deep breath
- When you breathe, ie inhale oxygen look to the left and when you exhale look to the right
Feel how your body starts to calm down
You can also use this technique by using your fingers instead of cotton, whenever you feel stressed and burdened by the pressure of things that happen during the day.
