As you continue to deepen your relaxation, bring your awareness to the lower back area. Visualize the acupuncture points that can support the relief of chronic low back pain.

First, focus on BL25, known as Dachangshu, located on the lower back, about two finger widths from the spine. This point helps relieve pain and discomfort in the back.

Next, shift your attention to BL40, or Weizhong, found at the back of the knee, in the center of the crease. This point is effective in reducing inflammation and easing muscle tension. Note that this point should be avoided during pregnancy.

Now, visualize GB30, known as Huantiao, which is located in the hip region, about a third of the way between the greater trochanter and the sacrum. This point aids in relaxing tightness in the hips, enhancing mobility and comfort.

Finally, bring your focus to BL23, or Shenshu, located near the lower back, about two finger widths from the spine. This point is vital for strengthening the kidneys and supporting overall vitality.

Allow the energy from these points to flow through your lower back, hips, and kidneys, creating a harmonious balance. Envision warmth and healing radiating from these areas, melting away stiffness and spasms.

With each breath, feel tension releasing and mobility improving. Embrace this natural process of healing and restoration, allowing your body to return to its perfect state of ease and comfort. Continue to breathe deeply, inviting relaxation into every part of your being.
