SPLEEN 6 “THREE YIN INTERSECTION": A tsubo to strengthen your yin energy, which gives power from inner peace.
Spleen 6 joins forces of the meridians of Kidneys, Liver and Spleen - the three yin meridians in the legs. It has a powerful physical effect and is widely used to balance the yin energy. The treatment of Spleen 6 allows stagnated blood to flow again. For this reason, this point is often treated in women who have menstrual problems. Spleen 6 also provides relief for menopausal symptoms, because these complaints usually result from a shortage of yin or a blockage in one of the three meridians connecting this acupoint.
Emotionally speaking, Spleen 6 reduces anxiety and thereby also improves sleep.
The spiritual effect of Spleen 6 is that it gives a deep connection to yourself. The point balances the three yin meridians of the legs. Yin energy stands for peace, quietness, and charging. Treatment of Spleen 6 turns so to say the volume of thoughts down so that you come into contact with the voice of your inner self - this is much wiser than your thoughts. Spleen 6 is, therefore, a tsubo that you can give acupressure to during meditation.
Location of Spleen 6: On the inside of the lower leg, just behind the edge of the shin, three thumb widths above the thickest part of your ankle bone.
Application: Massage this area or place the tip of your thumb on Spleen 6 during meditation. Connect with the silence within yourself. If you need guidance in your life, ask your inner self a question.
Contraindication: Pregnancy. Just like Stomach 36, Spleen 6 can start labor. It is therefore regularly massaged during a heavy or stagnant delivery.
