The Ritual
Soak. Press. Breathe.
A 10-minute sequence for the last hour before bed. The foot spa is optional; the practice is not tied to buying anything.
Soak (10 minutes, optional)
Use warm’not hot’water. Let the soak mark the boundary between the day and the night.
Press (5–6 minutes)
Week one: HT7 on both wrists, then Yintang between the brows. Gentle pressure, slow count, no pain.
Breathe (3 minutes)
Inhale through the nose for four, exhale softly for six, pause for two. Return to the sensations under your fingers.
Closing pause (1 minute)
Sit or lie still. No visualization script. Let the body register that nothing else is required tonight.
Common questions
Can I do this without a foot spa?
Yes. The soak is an optional transition cue. The acupressure and breathing sequence works with clean hands and a comfortable place to sit.
What if I miss a night?
Start again the next night. Consistency over weeks matters more than a perfect streak.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Do not use points traditionally avoided during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or have a health condition, ask your clinician before starting.
