The acupressure point Heart 7 is located on the inner wrist crease, towards the pinky finger side and about one-fifth of the distance across the wrist. Feel for a hollow space at the inner base of the pisiform bone (the round bone at the end of your wrist crease). You can also use the photo above as a reference for the location. Apply gentle pressure for 1-2 minutes while taking nice deep breaths. Switch sides and repeat. Tune into yourself and what you’re feeling as you do this acupressure routine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
