As you continue to settle deeper into your meditation, bring your awareness to the areas of your body that may be affected by pollen-induced cough—your throat, chest, and lungs. Visualize the acupuncture points that can assist in restoring balance and ease.

Focus first on LU7, located on the inner forearm, just above the wrist crease. This point, known as Lieque, opens the lungs and helps alleviate cough. Imagine a gentle, soothing light radiating from this point, expanding your lung capacity and inviting fresh air to flow freely.

Next, turn your attention to LI4, found on the back of your hand, between the thumb and index finger. Known as Hegu, this point boosts immunity and helps to clear congestion. Envision a warm energy pulsing from LI4, strengthening your body's defenses against allergens and irritants.

Now, bring your awareness to CV22, located in the center of the throat, just above the sternum. This point, called Tiantu, clears throat irritation and promotes ease of breathing. Picture a wave of calm washing over your throat, soothing any discomfort and allowing your voice to flow effortlessly.

Finally, visualize BL13, located on your back, at the level of your lower ribs, near the spine. Known as Feishu, this point strengthens lung function. Envision grounding energy from the earth rising through this point, fortifying your lungs and enhancing their resilience.

With each inhalation, draw in healing energy from these points, and with each exhalation, release tension, cough, and congestion. Allow this natural flow to harmonize your breath and restore balance to your respiratory system.

Continue to breathe deeply, feeling the interconnectedness of these points, and the way they work together to support your health. With each breath, you cultivate clarity and ease, inviting a sense of normalcy and comfort. Let this healing energy permeate your entire being, balancing and nurturing you.
