This point is called the spirit gate and is found on the little finger side of the forearm at the wrist crease. This aids to treat emotional imbalances, nervousness, anxiety, palpitations, fear, and forgetfulness. In addition, it also helps to treat insomnia. Inserting a pressure bead 344 to align up to the wearers H7 acupressure point will help relieve and release stresses due to the sensory issues of the bracelet touching the skin.

[0054] Finally, the emergency bracelet may further comprise a shielding material 373 attached to an outer surface of the main body that is adapted to reside in between the main body and the wrist and arm of a user, and is adapted to shield radiation created by the emergency bracelet from radiating into the wrist and arm of said user. The shielding material 373 is also helpful to shield a user from radiation given off by the GPS System 230 within the bracelet. The shielding material can be formed from Shungite material. Shungite is considered as the miracle of health stone and is a unique black natural mineral. Shungite looks like coal and is a product related to amorphous carbon and graphite. Shungite is a mineral consisting of fine, disbursed globular-carbon in a crystalline phase and fullerenes. It absorbs substances from the environment, has bactericidal properties, and is highly adhesive (adhesion is the ability of dissimilar particles or services to cling to one another), and has radio screening abilities. Wearing Shungite accessories concentrates the health-giving energies and can eliminate things that can cause injuries to one's health. Shungite and Shungite accessories can shield a person from electro-magnetic radiation emitted By TV sets, computers, microwave ovens, mobile phones, and other sources of the EMR.

[0055] It should be noted that the steps described in the method of use can be carried out in many different orders according to user preference.
