I'd like to recommend the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as an excellent tool for reducing emotional (and also sometimes physical) stress. EFT is a remarkably effective tool for reducing emotional anxiety to a more manageable level so that we can deal more effectively with the troubling situation. Based on meridian therapy (like accupressure and shiatsu), this technique is easily learned and easily used by anyone. It's also quick to apply and unobtrusive. For more information, including specific instruction on how to use EFT, I refer you to Gary Craig's website, GaryThink.com. What I particularly appreciate about Gary is his willingness to share the technique, including specific instructions on how to do it, at no charge.
