Acupressure for spring - part 3: Liver 14

A sense that something new is about to begin and having all the breathing room to take that new step. Liver 14 removes obstructions in the Liver energy and starts a new cycle.

Physically Li14 provides spacein the chest, so you can breathe freely. This also influences your sense of peace, because body and mind are connected.

Emotionally Li14 relaxes in case of frustration and being stuck in a situation.

Spiritually Li14 gives a new perspective. This is the last tsubp of the Liver Meridian and the last point of the daily meridian cycle according to the Chinese Organ Clock. From Li14, the energy connects with Lung 1. Lung 1 is the first tsubo of this cycle. The circle is complete, there is perspective and hope for the future. Hence the name “Gate of Hope”. Treatment of Li14 gives prospects for a future and a new beginning. Especially if the Liver-ki is stagnated. Li14 can resume the ki flow, pass it through, so that the new cycle can start again at Lung 1. This combination therefore also helps you to sleep deeper. Especially if you often wake up around 3:00 am, the connection with Lung 1 improves your sleep.

Location: Perpendicular under the nipple, at the level of lowest part of the sternum. Application: Give acupressure with your thumbs and connect with Lung 1 when you have trouble sleeping or wake up at night.
