Feng Chi, also called GB20 or the Gates of Consciousness, is a common pressure point used for migraines. GB20 found just below the ear. To find the point, find the two hollows on the sides of the neck at the base of the skull. You can thread your fingers, gently cup your skull with your hands, and place your thumbs in the hollows at the base of the neck. Use your thumbs to massage the point with a deep and firm pressure. Press it for four to five seconds. If you know where the hollows are, you can try massaging them with your index or middle finger, or use your knuckles. Relax and breathe deeply as you massage GB20. You can massage and press this point for up to three minutes. The temple region features a group of points that curve around the outer ear on your skull. They are located one index finger width from the edge of the outer ear. The first point, Hairline Curve, starts just above the tip of your ear. Each point is one index finger width behind the previous point, curling down and back around the ear. Apply pressure to each point on both sides of the head. You can apply simple pressure or circular pressure for one minute. Stimulate each point right after the previous one for best results. The points are in order from front to back Hairline Curve, Valley Lead, Celestial Hub, Floating White, and Head Portal Yin. The Wind Mansion point, also called GV16, helps with migraines, stiff necks, and mental stress. It is located in the center of the back of the head halfway between your ears and spine. Find the hollow under the base of the skull and press into the middle. Put a deep, firm pressure against the point for at least one minute.

Summary: Press Feng Chi. Manipulate the points along your temple region. Stimulate Wind Mansion.

The melody of a song is the catchy layer of the song. But it doesn't necessarily have to be the singing. It can be a sequence of notes that are incorporated into the song. Finding the melody will help you find the energy of the song, which will help you choose moves that are fast, slow, jerky, fluid, or whatever matches that energy. For example, you wouldn't do high energy dance moves to a slow country or a grooving hip-hop song. Warm-up and start moving your body by nodding your head to the beat. This will help you begin to blend your movements with the music. Start with slow bobbing motions, and once you get comfortable and feel like you know the rhythm well, pick up your movement energy. When you find the beat and start bobbing your head, your confidence will rise because you've managed to capture the energy of the song. Now that you've gotten a sense of the melody and you've started to move your head to the rhythm of the song, start to move the rest of your body by moving your feet to the beat. Shift your weight onto one foot, then shift it back to the other. Play around with shifting your weight according to the rhythm of the song. Tapping your feet is another great way to capture the beat of the song. Relax and keep your legs loose and knees slightly bent so you don't look or feel so rigid. The downbeat is usually a low pitch instrument like a drum or bass, the upbeat is often a cymbal, a sharp snare, or another high pitched instrument. As you start to move your body to the music, make a mental note of the upbeat and downbeat so you can utilize them in your freestyle dance by timing your moves to coincide with them. Most dancing music occurs in pairs with the first pair being the downbeat and the second being the upbeat.

Summary: Listen to the melody of the song to find the energy of your freestyle. Bob your head to the rhythm of the beat. Start to shift your weight back and forth on your feet to the beat. Note the upbeat and downbeat so you can use them in your dance.

The first paragraph of any obituary includes these details. You may also choose to include information about your loved one's current residence. It is not necessary to go into detail about the cause of death, but only to share what feels appropriate. For example, you could say that your loved one died after a long illness or died suddenly. Include her date of birth and the names of her parents. If there was a significant move in your loved one's early life, mention it here. For example, you might want to state that he was born in Greece but immigrated to the United States as a young child. Include details about schools attended and degrees earned. This paragraph can also be the place to introduce important themes in your loved one's life story. Did she first discover her love of literature while an English major in college, for example? The personal details you include will make this section meaningful to those who attend your loved one's funeral. You might proceed by writing a paragraph on each significant aspect of your loved one's life: work, hobbies, and family, for example. Alternatively, you might choose to develop a narrative about your loved one. For example, if her crowning achievement was a position in national government, you might want to write several paragraphs describing how she earned the knowledge and experience necessary to get there. Use anecdotes and other personal details. Weave these elements into the larger life story. They should help to convey the overall tone of your loved one's life. For example, if your loved one adored jokes, you might include one or two of his most famous humorous quotes. The obituary of a beloved teacher might include a story from a former student about what it was like to be in her classroom. You should include relatives who predeceased your loved one as well as your loved one's survivors. Begin this paragraph by saying that your loved one was "preceded in death by" the close relatives who have already died. Then, say that your loved one "is survived by" the close relatives who are still living. It is customary to list the cities or towns where the living relatives currently reside. State where your loved one will be buried or interred. While the newspaper version of the obituary should include details about the funeral service and visiting hours, the program obituary should be more general and simply record information about your loved one's final resting place. You may wish to offer thanks to those who made your loved one's last days or weeks easier, for example at a hospital or hospice facility. You may also wish to thank the staff at the funeral home. Include the names of caregivers here.

Describe your loved one's adult life, taking as many paragraphs as you need. Illustrate important aspects of your loved one's life. List the names of close relatives.
