Stress is your body’s response to your thought life.
7 Stress Relief Points On Your Body:
Have you ever heard the response when you are all worked up about something: “It’s All in Your Head.” Well, it’s true…the stress AND the relief are all in your head and the choice is yours. God has wired us with built in stress relief points…you have been accessing all your life (there is one at the tip of your thumb…no wonder babies naturally gravitate toward sucking their thumb to sooth themselves).
Life happens and will continue to happen, it’s actually all objective
until you label the situation as a threat. As soon as you do you
activate what my mentor Dr Bruce Lipton (The Wisdom of Your
Cells) refers to as the HPA Axis (the adrenal system: fight/flight
system).
Basically, You have two kinds of threats: internal threats and
external threats. Internal threatsare inside the body: viruses,
bacteria and in my case cancer cells and ourimmune system
deals with these attacks.
The adrenal systemdeals with theexternal threats: a
physical attack or aperceptionthat is threatening to you (worrying about the
future…fear, doubt, worry). The hypothalamus is the part of the
central nervous system which actually interprets our perceptions of
life. When we perceive that an event is threatening the hypothalamus
communicates to the 50 trillion cells in our body that we are under
attack in some way. It then communicates with the Pituitary gland
(master gland) which coordinates the activities of our 50 trillion
cells and determines a threatening perception of life and will kick into
protection mode: fight/flight.
The Pituitary will then bring in the adrenal gland, which releases
stress hormones throughout the body to help coordinate the
50 trillion cells: fight or flight…extra nutrients will be sent to our
extremities. The blood vessels constrict in the front part of your
brain to support the reactive back part of the brain which
actually makes us less intelligent and unable to access
solution based thinking.
So what are the Stress Relief Points to help snap us out of
An attack mode (HPA chain reaction)?
The next time you feel threatened by life, tap on the following
points. Remember your conscious mind and your body will respond to perceived
threats created by your choice of perceptions, even if they are based upon false
evidence appearing real. Tune into your emotion, what it looks like, feels like, sounds like
and then choose one or two words that sum up your overall feeling. Breathe in threw your
nose, hold it for several seconds and exhale as you begin to use your fingertips to tap on
the following points:
Eye Brown Point:located at the beginning of your eyebrow by
the top bridge of your nose.
Outside of the Eye:points outside of the eye between the outer edge of
your eye and your temple.
Under the Eye:Located on the top of the cheekbone.
Under the Nose:between nose and upper lip.
Under the Lip:right under your lower lip.
Top of the Head:Use your fingertips to tap a circle on the top
of your head.
