Quick start

Cold compress timer
15 minutes, with a soft chime at the end.
15:00

Wrap a cold pack in a soft cloth. Place across your forehead, temples, or the base of your neck. Rest with eyes closed. A soft chime will let you know when 15 minutes have passed.

Gentle breathing
A calm 4-7-8 rhythm. Follow the circle.

Passive acupressure

Gentle pressure points

Rest gentle, steady pressure on each point for 30–60 seconds. Breathe slowly. This is much easier lying down with your eyes closed — you can even do it one-handed.

  1. Where: Three finger-widths below the crease of your wrist, between the two tendons in the middle.
    How: Press with the meat of your opposite thumb — the soft pad at the base. Steady, moderate pressure, not sharp. Rest your wrist on your belly or a pillow so your arm can go completely limp.

Skip any point that hurts. Stop if you feel dizzy. Not a substitute for medical care.

Gentle technique

Tapping relief

EFT tapping uses light finger-taps on acupressure points while you focus on how you feel. There's no right or wrong way to do it.

Ready when you are.

Two soft minutes. You can tap gently on yourself with two fingers, or tap the button below if you'd rather not move.
