Yin Tang, also known as the "Third Eye," is located at the center of the forehead, between the eyebrows, slightly above their line. Stimulating this point is believed to help reduce stress, calm the mind, and improve sleep quality.

How to Find the Yin Tang Point:

1. Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet place.
2. Gently touch the middle point between your eyebrows.
3. You will feel a soft indentation – this is the Yin Tang point.

Practical Acupressure Method:

Preparation:

• Sit or lie down in a quiet place, free from noise and distractions.
• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax.

Stimulating the Yin Tang Point:

• Use the pad of your index finger or thumb.
• Gently press the Yin Tang point with a soft but firm pressure.
• Move in circular motions clockwise for 2-3 minutes.
• Then change direction and massage counterclockwise for another 2-3 minutes.

Breathing During Acupressure:

• Breathe deeply, inhaling slowly through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
• Focus on relaxation and releasing tension from your body.

Conclusion:

• After finishing the acupressure, stay in a calm state for a few minutes to allow the effect to settle.
• If necessary, repeat the technique before bedtime.

Additional Tips:

• Combine the Yin Tang stimulation with meditation or relaxing music.
• Avoid applying too much pressure—acupressure should be pleasant, not painful.
• You can practice this technique daily in the evening as part of your bedtime routine.
• Regular practice enhances the effectiveness of this technique.
