YOU Tip: Chi-Gong Your Way to Sleep
Next time you find yourself squirming like a disgruntled toddler as you're trying to fall asleep, try this relaxation and sleep-promoting move taken from chi-gong (qigong):
- Rub your hands together to warm them. Place your right palm over your right eye, left palm over left eye.
- Press the center bone above each eye with your index fingers.
- Press the outside corner of your eyes at the bone.
- Press the bottom center of your eyes on the inside of the bone.
- Press the inside of each eye.
- Use your thumbs to push where your jaw and cheekbone meet.
- Move to your ears and pinch along the edge of your ears from top to bottom.
- End the sequence with a move called "Beating the Heavenly Drum." Tap the back of your head nine times with the palms of your hands and your thumbs resting on your neck.
