It is possible to trigger blood flow to a specific location by utilizing a neurovascular point. Among other things, the prefrontal cortex regulates the amygdala’s response to stress, organizing and judgment, and executes executive functions. The focus is on the prefrontal cortex. Think about a stressor and hold the neurovascular points to keep the prefrontal cortex engaged in leading amygdala control, thus suspending your stress reaction. It is possible to think more clearly while dealing with issues since the neurovascular hold interrupts a major component of the fight-or-flight response.

Step 1: Initiate a downtown state. #

Step 2: Two spots can be pinpointed using your fingertips. #

They’re located exactly above the midpoint of each brow, in the space between your hairline and your brows. Apply mild pressure with the fingertips of both hands while stretching the skin sideways, removing any slack.

Step 3: Maintain the pressure as you inhale to a count of four. #

Step 4: Exhale to the count of four after pausing for a moment. #

Step 5: Take a moment to recall a stressful event in your life—past, present, or future. #

Dissociate to the third perceptual position.

Step 6: Continue to hold the pressure as you inhale again to the count of four, keeping the stressor in mind. #

After a brief pause, exhale to a count of five.

Step 7: As you inhale for the count of four, hold the pressure. #

After a brief pause, exhale to the count of six.

Step 8: As you inhale for the count of four, hold the pressure. #

Pause and exhale for seven counts.

Step 9: Maintain the pressure as you inhale once more, to the count of four. #

Pause for a count of eight and exhale.

Step 10: Break state. #

Repeat this technique 5 times.
