As you continue to relax and deepen your breath, focus your awareness on the throat area. Imagine a warm, soothing light enveloping this region, easing any discomfort or dryness you may feel.

Visualize the acupuncture point LU10, located on the palm side of your hand, in the depression just below the base of your thumb. This point, known as Yuji, helps to clear heat from the throat, alleviating pain and irritation.

Now, bring your attention to CV22, found at the center of your throat, just above the sternum. This point, called Tiantu, opens the airways, allowing for smoother breathing and a sense of relief.

Next, shift your focus to LI4, located on the back of your hand, between the thumb and index finger. Known as Hegu, this point reduces inflammation and supports overall health, helping to calm the body's response.

Finally, visualize KI6, located just below the bony prominence of your inner ankle. This point, called Zhaohai, nourishes Yin, bringing hydration and balance to your throat.

With each breath, imagine these points harmonizing your throat, relieving pain, dryness, and discomfort. Allow the warmth and healing energy to flow through your body, restoring balance and comfort.

As you remain in this state, picture your throat in its perfect, healthy state—moist, comfortable, and free from pain. Feel the energy from these points working together, bringing a sense of calm and wellness.

Continue to breathe deeply, allowing this sensation to expand throughout your body, reinforcing the healing process. Trust in the natural balance being restored, and let go of any remaining tension or discomfort. Embrace this feeling of ease and tranquility.
