Are you an emotional eater? When you feel stressed do you reach for food? Do you feel that if you just ate a "little" bit more that hollow feeling would be filled and satisfied? It doesn't really work that well now does it? Let me give you an acu-point that can ease that hollow empty feeling so you don't need to use the binge and destroy tactic.
In this short video I demonstrate how to use an acu-point technique that is simple and effective. Check it out.
And here is an excerpt from my book "Acupressure for Balanced Weight."
CV 12 is also known as
REN 12 or the Sea of Nutritive Energy. This point aids in the
assimilation of food, eases lethargy and fatigue, eases symptoms of
nausea, vomiting, hiccups, and an acid taste in the mouth. It helps
to move food quickly and efficiently through the digestive system and
breaks through obstructions to relieve gas, cramping, bloating and
stomachaches. It helps to resolve dampness and phlegm in the
digestive tract, muddled thinking, slurred speech, forgetfulness,
dull throbbing headaches and sinus stuffiness.
CV 12 is located in the
pit of the stomach mid-way between your navel and the lower end of
your breastbone. A good way to measure would be to place your hand
horizontally across your abdomen with your baby finger on your navel.
CV 12 is located just above your index finger. Press in very
gradually angling upwards until you feel a lump or a knot. Hold for
a minute or two and breathe deeply.
Often we feel an
discomfort at CV 12 or an emptiness, not only when we are hungry for
food, but also when we are hungry in spirit. This discomfort or
emptiness is often medicated with food. We try to fix this feeling
by eating or overeating. Acupressure can help release the tension
that is there and rebalance the system. Relieving the tension by
pressing in on this point is a far better solution than overeating.
Excess worry can also
create tension here. Excess worry and over-thinking is an imbalance
of the Earth element. Find CV 12, breathe deeply, press and release
the worry, anxiety and fear.
When you eat less you
may feel a hollowness in your stomach or an empty feeling. Utilizing
this Acu-point can help alleviate the achy feeling by making the area
feel comfortably filled. In addition, pressing at CV 12 tones the
abdominal muscles.
Utilize this Point Before You Eat.
