Step Two: Gradually Press CV4 And CV6:
Place the fingertips of your left hand in the center of your abdomen just above your pubic bone (CV4). Position your right fingertips directly above this, in the center between your belly button and pubic bone (CV6). Breathe deeply into your belly as you gradually press one to two inches deep inside the abdomen and hold for two minutes. Then completely relax on your back with your eyes closed for as long as you like.
Roll onto your side and slowly come up to a comfortable sitting position.
Step Three: Gently Press SP6:
Place both of your thumbs on the inside of your ankles, four finger widths above the protrusion of the inner anklebone. Gently rub your thumbs on the inner border of the shinbone, feeling for a slight indentation to gently press into. If you have PMS or menstrual cramps, this point will probably be very tender. Hold for one minute as you breathe deeply.
Step Four: Firmly Press SP4:
Place your thumbs on the arches of your feet, with your right hand on your right foot, and your left hand on your left foot. With your thumbs on the arch of each foot, wiggle your toes back and forth to feel a muscle pop out. Firmly press that muscle for one minute.
For best results, practice this routine two or three times a day for the week before your period, and once a day throughout the rest of the month.
