I only picked up the last few moments of Paul McKenna’s interview on TodayFM, but right at the end he suggested methods of massage and tapping acupuncture points to relieve stress. I did a quick search and found a few interesting sites. Here’s one picked at random..
I’m well aware that massage relaxes oneself but these are very specific points on the body that can be tapped for different effects!

Just heard Damien Mulley talk on Today FM for Ireland Offline.. good on ya!
