http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stress-management-medical-yogaworkplace 59/110
SMILEA smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who give it,
It takes but a moment,
But the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
And none is so poor that he cannot be made richer by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
promotes good will in business,
and is the cornerstone of friendship
It can perk up the weary,bring cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yes it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen
for it is something that is of no value to anyone
until it is given away.When people are too tired to give you a smile,
give them one of yours.
No one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give.

Touching GB 14 For mind clearing
7/27/2019 Stress Management-medical Yoga(WORKPLACE)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stress-management-medical-yogaworkplace 109/110
GB 14 is located above the center of your eye, one finger’s width above
your eyebrows. Use only very light touch on these points. You can use
one hand to hold these points by placing your thumb on one side andyour middle fingertip on the other side of your forehead. Apply a very
gentle touch, as you breathe slowly and deeply for a couple of minutes.
Mental Self-Healing at your Fingertips
You can also use both hands to hold GB 14 very gently with your middle
fingertips, as illustrated. Be sure to breathe slowly and deeply, whileholding these points lightly for a couple of minutes. After getting
familiar with holding this point, increase the length of time up to five
minutes.
Using this special clearing point, with deep breathing, can melt negative
thought patterns and soothe difficult emotions. This works almost
immediately, but doesn’t tend to last unless you apply this easy, gentle,
cost-free technique regularly in your life.
