Fingertips Three and Four
3. In Brain Gym® we call them "Positive Points. Other modalities
have different names for these acupressure points. Whatever you call
them, they're amazingly effective. Gently put your fingertips on
your forehead just above your eyebrows and below the hairline.
You're at that point in the middle of your eyebrows. Close your
eyes. Breathe deeply. And relax. (I've had folks in classes tell me
they nearly went to sleep holding their Postitive Points!) It's not
only relaxing but helps negative thoughts fade away.
4. Hold somebody else's Positive Points. Just stand behind them and
reach in front to place your fingertips on their forehead. Both of
you are breathing deeply. And you can both close your eyes.
Caution: Never make a child close their eyes. Sometimes that's
really scary. You don't get to decide what is and what isn't scary
for a child. They get to decide. When they're ready to close their
eyes, they'll do it.
