A Quick and Easy Way to Feel Lighter
Today I will be sharing a quick and easy ESR (Emotional Stress Release) technique for whenever you are feeling anxious or stressed. Emotional stress may show up as symptoms of overwhelm, fear, anxiety and confusion. ESR is a gentle but powerful tool to help you resolve stress and feel more confident moving forward.
When we experience emotional freedom, life is filled with more joy, ease and flow!
What is ESR (Emotional Stress Release)?
One of the most interesting aspects of Kinesiology is the Emotional Stress Release (ESR) technique. ESR can be done anywhere. When sitting at your desk, overwhelmed with decision-making, take a moment for ESR. When waking up in the morning and you start stressing about the day, do ESR.
On our foreheads on the prominences above the eyes are two points which can have a profound calming effect. Lightly holding these points, or simply placing a hand across the forehead opens the mind to a receptive rather than protective response to present, past or future stress.
The Benefits of Emotional Stress Release

How to do ESR in 3 Easy Steps:
Place one hand lightly across your forehead (pinkie just above your brows) and rate your stress level between 1 and 10 (1 being the least, 10 the most).
Take deep breaths and picture the stressful situation that you are dealing with. Notice the details, sounds and feelings. Stay here for a few moments. Imagine the best outcome for the situation and stay with this happy feeling.
When your mind wanders, you’ll know the stress has been cleared and you’ll feel calmer and lighter. Now rate your stress level again.
A deep sigh is often an indication that you have shifted some energy. You can do this wherever you want and as often as you need it. Try it today and see how you feel!
