in this short video I’m gonna talk about

what I do personally to help myself

sleep each night I do a lot of

activities to a day in the office and do

workouts and I need to be able to sleep

very very good and quickly so I can

actually rejuvenate so I never go to bed

with body stress so stress is stuck

energy in the body so we’re going to be

using acupressure with a device that I

created to convert stuck energy which is

stress in the body to available energy

or relaxation because stuck energy is

it’s like a tension in your body that

won’t let it you relax all right

so basically we’re actually fixing your

brakes and taking the foot off the gas

pedal all right

so there’s two places that we’re going

to be working on one is we’re gonna

stimulate the relaxation centers in the

body which happened to be back here just

underneath the skull if there’s any

doctors watching this the name of that

area of the body is the the center their

origin of the vagus nerve which is the

parasympathetic and the heart of the

locus coeruleus and the rathaiah nuclei

but for though everyone else don’t worry

about that all you need to know is

that’s where the brake pads are or the

on/off switch for your sleep so it’s

right back there and we’re going to

trigger that using acupressure before

bed so we want to induce a relaxed state

all we’re doing is we’re applying the

brake pads so you can start to turn off

but there might be a problem with the

gas pedal the on switch the accelerator

so number two we’re going to be doing

some acupressure to turn off the flight

or fight mechanism and there’s a lot

more to this but I’m going to show you

two of them today in this video on

myself so you can see how it works and

you can apply it to yourself as well and

that happens to be in the abdomen area

because if you think about it when

you’re stressed you’ll notice that you

have a lot of tension to your chest and

abdomen it really tightens up through

there so we’re going to be taking the

foot off the gas pedal and applying the

brakes to induce a really good Delta

wave sleep so you can sleep through the

night and wake up feeling rejuvenated

so let’s show you how to do that okay so

we have this device this is a I designed

this a plastic device it’s a tripod so

you can use it on different surfaces and

it has different widths wide medium for

different types of people now this is

based on my hand with when I do

acupressure I wanted to create something

if I was going somewhere that I could do

I could pressure myself so I created

this for myself of course you can use it

one as well so so the first Center we’re

gonna put this on a tall back chair so

I’m just going to show I’m gonna hook it

right back here in the top part of my

head right here and I’m just gonna allow

my gravity of my head go back on those

two points right there and you can see

that it’s it’s actually triggering a

stress release right now and I’m

actually feeling really calm through my

whole body and if I fall asleep you know

I’ll try to wake up and finish this

video but basically what’s happening now

is I’m extracting stress from the the

first Center and I’m actually kind of

triggering the relaxation centers in the

back of my upper neck and you can use

this on a couch you can use this in your

bed on a pillow or a tall back chair but

you want to just set the top of your

neck right underneath your skull and let

gravity kind of come down and hold that

pressure for two maybe three four

minutes and you’re just gonna you’re

just going to mount you want to take a

nap and what I like to do is I’d like to

also do a little lower do the lower

parts of your neck because it’s going to

pull a lot of stress to the entire neck

and then I will take that’s the widest

one right I will take the medium one and

I’ll put that in the very lower part of

my neck

like right here yeah right here now if

you can see that so we’re basically

holding pressure and the lower part of

my neck because that takes all the

tension off the upper shoulders so I’m

gonna go to bed and not have any tension

in my shoulders so I will be

working on all different all the

different segments in my neck and just

finding the tight spots and letting

gravity kind of pull the stress out and

again I use this on my pillow or a tall

back chair basically I have one in my

office in my house so I’ll do this in

the topic chair my office I’ll walk to

my room go to bed

typically or I will go in my bed and use

this as well but I like to use it in a

chair or on the couch and right now just

from that little bit of I did it opens

up my neck my neck comes really loose

and I feel really calm so that’s step

one know step two because we’re going to

take the longer portion and press it

into some points in the abdomen about an

inch to the right of your belly button

and then we’re gonna press directly

inward like this pressing in right like

that and I’m going to hold this pressure

not so it’s very painful but just so

there’s pressure for about maybe a

minute or so and it’s releasing stress

it this takes the lot of the

flight-or-fight stress out of your body

so I’ll hold this and then I’ll go up an

inch okay so I’m actually an inch to the

right of the belly button going straight

up to the bottom of the ribcage and then

I’ll work a little higher higher and up

till I get to the rib cage and I’ll just

hold this okay then I go to the other

side and I’ll press a one-inch to the

left of the belly button

press straight in and hold that and kind

of go up those points right there and I

will probably do this one and bad

because it’s a little more comfortable

and I’ll just take my hand and let

gravity pull it in there and take stress

out of the abdomen now what I did is I

created a little bit of a download below

of these points if you want to see a

visual and relationship to the belly

button in the ribcage but I do this each

night before I go to bed because it

keeps the stress off my body so this

particular mechanism down here works on

taking the foot off the gas pedal and

then this one up here works on

stimulating the brake pads so you really

create a relaxed state so you can really

go to

a lot faster I just want to show you

this great technique so if you wanted to

get one of these you can go ahead and

order one to my left

actually your right my left and get it

and then I actually give you more videos

on using it in through the entire body

it’s a very simple device it would be

cool also to use this on the plane if

you’re applying somewhere the problem is

they they made I think it’s a weapon of

mass destruction so I guess it could be

but I doubt it

so you might want to just put in your

suitcase and do it when you get there to

handle the jet lag so that’s just two

different uses of this device and

there’s many other ones but I think that

should actually get you started so I

hope you enjoyed the video I will see

you in the next one
