Yin Tang (Third Eye Point)

So this might seem like a simple one for some, and you might already be doing it intuitively, but Yin Tang (the Third Eye Point) is still one of my absolute favorite points and absolutely deserves a mention. Its ability to calm the mind and body, whether for you or even your dog, is truly remarkable. Sometimes, the simplest practices can be the most profound!

Location:
Right between your eyebrows, in the small indentation where the forehead meets the nose bridge.

Why?

• Relieves stress, anxiety, and tension.

• Helps with headaches, sinus congestion, and insomnia.

• Promotes relaxation and mental clarity—it’s like a reset button for your mind!

• Often referred to as the "calm mind point."

How to Stimulate Yin Tang:

1. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

2. Use your index or middle finger to gently press or massage the spot in small circular motions.

3. Apply light to moderate pressure (whatever feels good) for 1–2 minutes.

4. Take deep, calming breaths as you massage, focusing on releasing any tension.

Incorporate It Daily: Make It a Ritual

• Add a little essential oil (like lavender or peppermint) to your fingers for an extra sensory boost.

• Use this point during meditation, yoga, or just before bed for a deeper sense of calm.

If you’ve ever had a dog, you’ll know how much they love this point too! Gently rubbing this area between their eyes has an almost magical calming effect. It’s a beautiful reminder of how interconnected we are with the natural instincts for relaxation and connection.
