The above series focuses on two powerful acupoints: Governing Vessel 4 Gate of Life / Destination
Location: On the lower back, at navel height, at the bottom edge of L2.
GV4 Focusses the attention and energy on the hara-tan-den, the energetic center of the body. Here, life force energy is regulated. A good connection to the hara tan-den can be compared to a good connection to your battery: it increases your vitality. It helps to choose a lifestyle that is nourishing for your entire system.
Governing Vessel 14 Great Hammer
Location: at the transition from the neck to the back, under the cervical vertebra C7.
This point is known for connecting all yang meridians, harmonizing yang energy on all levels. It improves the circulation of blood and life force energy, relaxes the muscles, and clears the consciousness. The point can also ensure that you open up to the outside world and helps to express yourself in words, or an artistic way. Because of the bundling of yang energy, it helps to take action and break with old patterns.
