Working on these points can help you get better
quicker. You do not have to use all of these
points. Using just one or two of them whenever
you have a free hand can be effective.
Points (A) -- Gates of Consciousness
Location: Below the base of the skull, in the
hollow between the two large vertical neck muscles,
two to three inches apart depending on the size
of the head.
Benefits: Relieves arthritis in the shoulders
and neck, headaches, and stiff neck.
Points (B) -- Shoulder Well
Caution: Pregnant women
should press lightly on this point.
Location: On the muscle at the highest point
of the shoulder, one to two inches out from
the side of the lower neck.
Benefits: Relieves shoulder tension, nervousness,
irritability, and fatigue.
Points (C) -- Heavenly Rejuvenation
Location: On the shoulders, midway between the
base of the neck and the outside of the shoulders,
one-half inch below the top of the shoulders.
Benefits: Relieves muscular tension, stiff necks,
and shoulder pain.
Points (D) -- Outer Arm Bone
Location: On the outer surface of the upper
arm one-third of the way down from the top of
the shoulder to the elbow. Find a wiry muscle
band by rubbing the fingers over the bone on
the outside of the arm.

tension, and stiff necks. |
