We hear more and more about energy these days. “I don’t have
much energy.” “This place has bad
energy.” “I don’t like his energy.” We have a relatively new field called
“energy medicine.” The practice of Reiki is widespread. See Energy
Medicine on Oprah’s website, and Reiki
on Wikipedia.
The world is waking up to the “meta”physical. Meta means
beyond. From the mystic to the psychic, our energy fields are crackling!
Everybody wants on board this powerful alternative field that brings better
health, improved focus, and more energy.
Acupuncture is an oriental energy medicine. The doctor
places needles into small energy points on the body to make stagnant energy
flow. Acupressure is like acupuncture, but the practitioner uses their fingers
to rub these points, rather than a needle.
The following are acupressure practices that help with
memory, clarity, and focus.
These practices are taken from the Modern Reflexology website. You can find pictures
on the site that pinpoint the exact spot, in case the directions are not clear
to you. The site offers additional exercises for memory, but I find it’s easier
to follow three practices than to try to work them all in.
Third
Eye Point
Accessing the third eye point will
help improve your concentration and memory. This point can be found directly between
the eyebrows, where the forehead and bridge of the nose meet. Press this point
for 3 to 4 minutes gently. Repeating it 2 to 3 times per day will uplift the
spirit and clear your mind
.
Sun
Point
The sun point can be found in the
depression of the temples. It is around one and half inches away from the
eyebrows. Pressing this area will help to improve concentration and memory. It
will also relieve you from headaches, dizziness, and mental stress. Place two
fingers on each of your temples and apply slight pressure for 2 minutes. You
can do this 3 times every day for the best results.
Middle
of a Person
This point relieves you from cramps,
fainting, dizziness, and memory loss. It also helps in strengthening
concentration and memory power. Place your finger between the upper lip and
nose. This is the middle of a person. Press this point firmly for a few minutes
every day. It will be extremely effective if accessed for more than four weeks.
You might want to make three cards
to place by your bedside, computer, or your favorite lounging chair. Put a
description of each of the energy exercises on a card and practice them while
watching TV, listening to music, or at your work desk. The cards also serve as
a reminder that sparks our memory when we see them.
