need energy in the middle of the day

[Guest guest]

I have a couple of acupressure-type suggestions for

you if you're interested Ange.

 

These come from TBM (Total Body Modification). They

have a two-point energy circuit that works awesome for

giving a boost. It is run by rubbing approximately 3

inches below the armpit on the left side for 20-30

seconds, then pulling out your ears moving around the

entire wing and just pulling away from your head for

another 20-30 seconds. It is subtle, but it does have

the effect of waking you up and giving you energy. It

is actually for Jet Lag - if you do the technique

before you get off the plane (unless you're

immediately going to sleep) it resets the biological

clock to local time. If you're going straight to the

hotel and to bed after you get off the plane, then you

do it first thing in the morning, before getting out

of bed. It works also for setting a baby's biological

clock right if they have days and nights mixed up. My

husband used it to help him stay awake and alert

during a long drive from Tucson to Salt Lake where he

was up for more than 24 hours straight.

 

For sleep, you may want to try rubbing the top of your

head with the palm of your hand in a circle for a

minute or two. For me, when I've done that, it's like

a time clock - 20 minutes later I cannot stay awake no

matter how hard I try (missed the last 5 minutes of

movies lots because I rubbed too soon).
