As you continue to breathe deeply, bring your awareness to the acupuncture points that support relief from chronic cough and phlegm accumulation. Locate LU5, known as Chize, located in the hollow of the elbow. This point is essential for clearing lung heat, allowing for smoother breathing and alleviating tightness in the chest. Next, find CV22, or Tiantu, situated in the center of the throat, just above the sternum. This point opens the airways, facilitating the free flow of breath and easing any discomfort in the throat. Now, focus on BL13, called Feishu, which is found on the back, about one and a half inches from the spine at the level of the T3 vertebra. This point strengthens the lungs, enhancing their function and resilience. Lastly, turn your attention to LU1, Zhongfu, located on the front of the chest, just below the collarbone. This point helps relieve chest congestion, promoting openness and clarity in the lungs. Visualize the energy flowing through these points, harmonizing your respiratory system. Feel the warmth of healing as you imagine the phlegm dissolving and tightness releasing. With each breath, allow this energy to circulate, balancing the lungs and chest, bringing them back to their perfect, normal state. Embrace the sensation of lightness and ease, knowing that this natural process is supporting your well-being. Continue to breathe deeply, inviting calm and clarity into your life.
