Where should you apply pressure to perform a mid face flush when performing Shiatsu?

Applying pressure to the temples during a mid-face flush in Shiatsu is particularly effective due to the unique position and function of this area. The temples are located on the sides of the head and play a significant role in the overall energy flow within the body according to traditional Eastern medicine concepts. By focusing on the temples, you can stimulate the appropriate meridian points that influence the balance of energy, or "qi," in the face and the entire head. This can promote relaxation, alleviate tension, and encourage the circulation of blood and lymph in the mid-face region.

In contrast, the other areas listed may not provide the same level of energy stimulation or flushing effect as the temples. The chin, forehead, and nose, while they may have their own significance in different therapeutic contexts, do not serve the same purpose for a mid-face flush in Shiatsu practices. Pressure on these areas might not yield the same benefits for energy flow and relaxation that can be achieved by focusing on the temples.
