Combat Stress and Cravings with Ear Massage

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves putting pressure with the fingers or the hand on certain points of the body. The pressure can unblock the flow of Qi to release tension and restore inner harmony. The great thing about acupressure is it is something you can do on your own to promote health, relieve stress and prevent disease.

Your ear lobes are energetically linked to your brain. When you massage the right ear lobe it stimulates the left brain and pituitary gland. When you massage the left ear lobe, it stimulates the right brain and pineal gland, giving you a whole brain experience.


Ear massage triggers the release of the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins. Studies have demonstrated that Ear massage increases levels of endorphins in both the blood and cerebrospinal fluid

The ear contains more than two hundred pressure points that influence different areas of the body and the psyche.
Based on the belief that a microcosm of the human body exists in the ear, Ear Massage is an extremely relaxing and effective therapy aimed at decreasing cravings, reducing stress, promoting well being and addressing various health issues.

Our body has certain anti-stress points and all that needs to be done is simply massage these points to relieve the stress.

The ancient Chinese referred to this point as Shen Men or “The Gate of Heaven.” Shen Men is a anti-stress point that decreases stress, boosts energy flow, and strengthens the overall health of the body.



This acupressure point also reduces inflammation and can relieve pain in almost every part of the body. It is located in the centre of the upper third of the ear.



Ear acupuncture is used throughout the world to assist in the detoxification of addictive substances, manage pain and calm anxiety.

 


Here is a great ear massage that you can do for yourself or your loved ones:


1. Rub in small circular motions with your thumbs inside the widest upper part inside the ears, holding them from outside with the index and middle fingers.


2. Use your index finger to massage inside the smaller crevices if your thumbs don't fit and along the front of your ear where it attaches to the head.


3. Massage the earlobes by gently pulling them down and making circles with your thumb and index finger.





You can also massage corresponding point on your wrist for better results.


To enhance these acupressure and reflexology for anxiety techniques, it is highly recommended that you also do breathing exercises every day. Slow, deep breathing plus acupressure and reflexology combine to form a highly effective self therapy for emotional stress, tension, anxiety and nervousness.





Another great point for stress is Kidney reflexology point (K 1).

Good Health Syrup from Outer Space

Image
Lavinia Ritkiss, a healer in Los Angeles, claims to have  been given a recipe for what seems to be a miracle cure. The healer says her amazing "space syrup" was a gift from  aliens to humankind and that anyone can prepare it from  common Ingredients. "This syrup is truly amazing," said Mrs. Ritkiss, who used  the medicine to cure her arthritis. "It costs just pennies  to make, yet after a few weeks of taking it, your whole  physical and mental conditions change for the better. It  contains many ingredients that humans use to improve  health, but the formula the aliens' advanced science has  produced, combines these ingredients in a new and different  way, and it has a remarkable impact on the body." "The aliens told me that it affects the electrical energy  of the body, reversing negative impulses that bring about  diseases and unhealthy emotions. I take a teaspoon every  day, and I know that it has worked wonders for me...

Questioner: What makes us fear death? Krishnamurti: Do you think a leaf that falls to the ground is afraid of death?  Do you think a bird lives in fear of dying?  It meets death when death comes; but it is not concerned about ...

Heavy Metal Detox - Mercury Free Body

Image
There are two main principles in natural cleansing. Mercury must first be pulled from its existing location in your tissues and deposited into your blood stream. The mercury must then be bound to a cleansing agent that takes it from your blood and brings it to your excretory system for removal. Mercury is stored in several types of tissue in the body and each type requires different strategies and supplements. The dosages are for 185 lbs. You may want to consider adjusting your dosage proportionately.
