You can interrupt your body’s stress cycle instantly with a stillpoint. A stillpoint is an effective and simple therapeutic technique originating from osteopathy and craniosacral therapy.

A stillpoint occurs when two specific spots at the back of the head are touched with a gentle pressure. When in a stillpoint, the body’s central nervous system is brought from its usual state of alertness to a state of calm—the stress cycle essentially shuts off. 

Here, profoundly deep relaxation occurs as the body is able to repair and renew itself. Finding your stillpoint is easy, and in as little as 5 minutes a day you will be able to help unwind the harmful effects of stress on your body and mind.

Find your stillpoint and relax instantly:

• Lay on a flat but comfortable surface on your back and place your two hands (palms up) under your head with your middle fingertips touching each other. Ensure your hands are located at the place where your head is most protruding (sticks out the farthest).
• Slowly slide your hands apart (outwards) toward the outer edges of your head—stop where your head begins to “turn the corner.”
• You will notice that the gentle pressure of your head resting on your middle fingertips at these specific spots brings about instant relaxation. Stay here and relaxation will deepen into absolute calm. You have found your stillpoint.
