Xiphoid Process
- Closing the Cardiac Valve

The valve is called a "Cardiac Valve" because it's close to the heart. It actually doesn't have a thing to do with the heart. (just so you know)
It's strictly for keeping down the acid from kicking back up into your throat!

Laying down on the floor or on the bed seems to work the best, although I have done it while standing (or out in a store when I needed to). While standing, you can use your middle and ring fingers on BOTH hands to push in and down.

1. Lay on the floor or lay back on your bed.
2. Find the soft spot just below your sternum (breast bone) You will actually be right up against your breast bone while doing this.
3. Put your fingers into the spot as if you're trying to tuck them UNDER the breast bone (using the middle and ring fingers on both hands works better, you can get more constant pressure)
4. Put more pressure on the spot while taking in a deep breath (this is so you can get your fingers in the right place to close the valve)
5. While holding your breath for a few seconds, press FIRMLY into the spot (you may feel a lot of discomfort at first, but don't worry, you're not hurting anything)
6. Push your fingers in and down toward your belly button while exhaling (you will have to push hard straight down, as you're dragging your fingers toward your belly button)
7. Repeat as needed.

You will need to press fairly hard while doing this. If you're like I was when the doctor first did it to me, I literally felt the valve closing. It's awesome, but it works! You can do this as often as you need to throughout the day.

I also felt a bit of nausea at first because mine was so messed up, but don't worry, things will subside as you continue doing this. If you've done it correctly (and you may have to try a few times at first until you've mastered it) you will start to feel less acid within a few minutes.

The end result is to get the value to work properly. If you've had stomach acid as long as I have, this may take a while.

Also drinking plenty of water will help flush out the acid too!

Mind Exercises These exercises have been given to me to do without explanation at this point. He "smiled" when he told me he would explain at a later time! I suppose there is a good reason for this, and I'll let you "IN" on the secret as soon as "I" know! ENJOY!
	Candle Exercise 1. Feet on the floor 2. Piece of paper and pencil 3. Timer - set for 10 minutes 4. Darkened room With your pencil touching the paper, hold your attention on the candle flame for 10 minutes. Concentrate on the flame. With ANY distraction, make a mark on the paper. NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES! Write down the time of day. FOCUS ON THE FLAME.

	Mirror Exercise 1. Timer - set for 10 minutes 2. Look into the mirror, at the point BETWEEN your eyes. Focus on not staring. 3 Think of your Pituitary Gland, deep inside your head. Picture a small ball of light inside behind the point you're looking at. Make a diary of both exercises. What you notice/feel. Once a day.
