Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of belly button healing by measuring the EEG activity after developing and applying belly button healing to high school students. This study was conducted on 19 high school students (8 boys and 11 girls). The students who participated in this study underwent belly button healing for about 5 minutes twice per daily (morning and evening) for 2 weeks. In this experiment, an electroencephalogram (EEG) of the subject was measured in a state of arousal and steady state and the change in EEG was observed during the stroop task. Subsequently, belly button healing was performed for about 5 minutes with a one minute break and the same procedure was then repeated. As a result of the study, the reduction of the M-Beta wave, H-Beta wave and Gamma wave was lower compared to the arousal state due to the navel healing program. The reduction of the Alpha wave and SMR wave also was decreased compared to the steady state by the navel healing program. This suggests that belly button healing has improved the concentration, immersion, and psychological stability of the subjects in stress situations. This is consistent with the participants' interviews after the research. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, because belly button healing is effective in relieving stress in high school students, such a program will be needed for students who are experiencing academic stress. Second, because belly button healing can help increase high school students' concentration, it is recommended to implement belly button healing before addressing certain complex or difficult tasks.
