Dream sleep aid
The points acupressurists recommend for sleep and relaxation are found not only on the wrist but other places as well. If you can get in the habit of adapting a easy to learn but effective routine every night before bed you may find that your sleep improves. The only investment you will need to make is the time it takes to learn the routine and then apply it.
There are several reasons why a person may have trouble sleeping. A major cause is the inability to stop thinking. Overthinking makes it difficult to get in the proper mood for sleep. Another cause is food stagnation resulting from overeating or eating inappropriately. We need to finish eating in a timely manner so that our stomach has time to digest the food before we begin our sleep ritual. Lack of a proper routine is another reason why we have difficulty falling asleep. We have to train our bodies when is the appropriate time to sleep and stick to the routine.
Oddly enough, lack of circulation can make it difficult to sleep peacefully through the night. So during the day it is important to get enough exercise to encourage good circulation on a daily basis. On the other hand a heavy workout at the end of the day may rev the body system so that sleep is unattainable. Obviously, balance is important; people who tend to move little need to move more to provide good circulation people who persue an active exercise program need to tailor their activities so that they can slow down enough to sleep.
Among the over- think category are people who engage in computer activities and gaming. The mind becomes agitated so that the person is no longer sleepy enough to fall asleep. Naturally it would be better to end such activities early enough so that the body has a chance to calm down enough to sleep.
Another condition that tends to accompany sleeplessness is anxiety especially among those who can’t fall asleep. An appropriate acupressure routine would include points that encourage the heart and mind to calm down so that it can get some rest and perhaps fall asleep.
A major point of relaxation is found at the center of the inner wrist 1.5 inches from the crease toward the elbow. It has been widely researched for nausea but is also an important point for calming and relaxing. It is called Neigun or pericardium 6. It is located between two tendons and it is a wise idea to soften the wrist by flexing it a bit so access the point.
Another point on the wrist is located pericardium Daling or pericardium 7. It has an effect of calming the heart. It is also found at the center of the inner wrist at the crease between the two tendons. Another point that forms a 2 dimensional triangle with the other two is Shen Men or Heart 7. It is located directly across from Daling pericardium 7 in a depression at the end of the writst on the ulnar side of the tendon that forms on beneath the webbing of the small finger.
A quick and cheap way to apply continuous pressure to those point is to take a seed pressed onto a piece of tape. Typically a vaccria seed is used but if you have stainless steel or gold beads they work as well. Place the bead on the tape. Take an eyeliner to mark the appropriate acu-points on the wrist and then take the taped bed and apply it firmly to the wrist on the marked spots. You can increase the stimulation by pressing or rubbing on the seeds. As your wrist are stimulated close your eyes and take deep breaths.
