Immediate Calmness

Level with the Adam's apple, in the muscle to the side (either side) there is a place where you can feel your pulse. The heart has a pressure-monitoring station at this precise spot to tell it how much blood is going to the head. Light (repeat, light) pressure on this point can help any time you are "building up steam" or "feeling pressure." The effects of gentle pressure on the calmness point will be to lower your blood pressure and to cause redness to leave your face. You will know it is working if you feel a slight lightheadedness, which is due to the decrease of blood to the brain.
