reliever of headaches and tense muscles, LI 4 is a great point to use to
balance energy. In addition to making sure you are balanced it promotes healthy

your left hand flat with your palm down, now squeeze your thumb and index
finger together, locate a fleshy mound that appears between the two fingers and
press on this point with your right thumb above and index finger below.

cools heat and alleviates dampness. LI 11, the earth point of the large intestine
meridian, is located at the crease of your elbow. To find this point bend your
elbow in a 90-degree angle, place your thumb on the outside of the elbow crease

Men,
or the Gateway of Gathering Clouds is the gateway where we are able to receive
fresh sunshine, the rain and cloudy days. This point is very useful for
balancing energy when you are overwhelmed with stress, it calms the body. To
find LU 2, locate the area above the collarbone where it meets the shoulder blade,
at this location there should be a depression, apply pressure there to harness
the balancing powers of this acupressure point.
