đ´These 3 points, yintang, shenting, and an mian, are so helpful for calming your nervous system for a good nightâs sleep.
đLiving in the high altitude of the Roaring Fork Valley, especially if you are experiencing hormonal shifts around your period or perimenopause, suffering from insomnia is so common. Â
đ¤Tonight, after youâve finished all of your other routines, youâve got your pajamas on and your screens are put away, try this routine.  Massage each point for 2-5 minutes, either with your finger or with a pointed gua sha tool.  Then read a calming book, or just lay down with your eye mask and ear plugs, and enjoy a peaceful rest!
