Acupressure Points for Facial Rejuvenation



All these acupressure points are great for releasing blocked energy in the face, resulting in brighter firmer skin.   The beauty of this programme is, that once you are familiar with all the points they can be done in the morning while in bed, during the day, in the evening before sleep (trust me this will make you sleep so much better) and I find this wonderful on those nights when I am wide awake in the middle of the night.    The facial points shown also have lots of other uses, they can be used for migraines, TMJ, Sinus Problems, Headaches, Insomnia, Clear thinking, Relaxation, Balancing the Endocrine System, earache.   

There are other points I can show you to help with neck, shoulder and back tension.   A fabulous point used by the Chinese for centuries for relief of pain anywhere in the body.   Points to help with upset stomach and indigestion, toothache, you will never tire of using these points.

When using Acupressure points there are various ways of holding the point, and there are 3 stages to holding the point, go in gently, medium pressure and if comfortable deeper pressure.  Always come out of the point the same way.

I have been using these points for the last 3 years and they are now a constant in my life.  I am looking forward to sharing all this information, along with Face Yoga in my upcoming Workshops which will begin in September.

When using acupressure, the middle finger has the most energy as the Pericardium Meridian and Extraordinary Vessel flows through it.

The face is made up of 57 muscles, 60 % muscle 20% skin and 20% fat.  As we age the muscle loses its form and starts to sag  .....So what can we do ?


Do Face Yoga, Face Yoga can help to sculpt and tone the muscles and define the jaw line, the muscles will plump and form volume thus giving you a more youthful look. Evidence based research plays an important role in the techniques of The Danielle Collins Face Yoga Method. Alongside that, the Method also includes techniques that have been used since ancient times in many countries and cultures and have been passed down through generations and through literature

FACE YOGA PASSION

Face Yoga is my new passion, I am very excited that I will be sharing all these methods in Workshops, Classes, House Parties etc.  This is a very simple method to rejuvenate the face, using the fingers as resistance to tone and lift the muscles.  Most of the points used to exericse the face muscles are also acupressure points.

The face needs exercise as well as the body.  There are 57 facial muscles, these are much smaller muscles than the body so the results can be seen faster. 

I dabbled with Face Yoga in 2012 and then on and off over the following years.   Last year after moving house for the third time in 5 years, my face was tight, and painful (TMJ and Sinus problems  all on the same side) due to the about of stress that had built up there, a progression from the shouldeer and neck problems.   While all this was going on I decided to start doing Face Yoga again, I also printed off the material from my Acupressure course and put all this to work.   A year later I hardly ever feel the stress and tension in my face, my face looks more toned and relaxed.

Stress plays a major part in making our faces look older than they actually are, there are now scientific results that confirm that Face Yoga and Acupressure can help alleviate stress and tension from the face while toning, firming and releasing toxins.

Once you learn all the techniques this programme can be completed in 20 minutes, in fact if you are short on time, you can split up the upper and lower half of the face into 10 minute sections, but should always finish with the relaxation and breathing to get the full benefits.  There is also a great 5 minute quick session you can use.

I will also be teaching clients how to use the Facial Acupressure points which also tone the face, but have other added benefits of freeing up energy, helping with; insomnia, tooth ache, TMJ, Headaches, Sinus Problems, Migraines, Balancing the Body and Mind, and my personal favourite, dry eyes.  Facial Acupressure is something I use usually at night, in the middle of the night if I am having trouble sleeping and sometimes in the morning.

All participants in the Sessions will receive a map of the face showing the muscles and also a printout showing the Acupressure points. 

Posters with all the Face Yoga exercises can be purchased through me as well as Danielle Collins DVD.

It is never too late to start taking care of your face.
