Relaxation Techniques

Once saw a TV programme where someone was saying there were certain pressure points in your body where, if tapped repetitively, would have a calming influence. One of them is the bit of flesh between your thunb and first finger. I thought it was bollox.

I do get stressed sometimes at work and I tried it - guess what - it worked. While tapping this bit of my hand I could fell myself getting calmer. It may just be a placebo effect but it worked for me. Bizarre but true.

Cheers Keith

Thank you, actually quite funny that pic, was going to use it for a sexual harassment poster for a laugh, the one seems to be moving away from the other's advances...I used to have a huuuuuge blue one, Godzilla, bigger than both my hands...let me find a pic...here we go, its not a good one I suppose, will see if I have any lurking about in the wrong folder, was sure I took more of him.


Heres another interesting one, this is the long spined urchin who lives in the tank in the lounge (Mr VT's project...filled with the poisonous stuff, like Lionfish ...named Bert and Ernie of all things, they are dirty fish, need water changes too frequently for my liking)

The only freshwater trop that I know you can put in marine is a molly, I had a HUUUGE Molly all built up strong and muscular from the current in the marine tank and eating the special foods, she was massive.
