As you continue to relax deeply, visualize the energy flowing through your body, focusing on the areas that may feel congested or unbalanced.

Begin by bringing your awareness to LI20, located on either side of the nostrils, just where your nose meets your cheeks. This point, known as Yingxiang, helps clear the sinuses and alleviate nasal congestion. Imagine a gentle light radiating from this area, clearing any blockages and allowing fresh air to flow freely.

Next, shift your focus to LI4, found in the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This point, called Hegu, is known to boost immunity and alleviate sneezing. Picture a warm, soothing energy radiating from this point, enhancing your body's natural defenses against allergens.

Now, direct your attention to BL13, located on your back, about one and a half inches from your spine, at the level of the lower shoulder blade. Known as Feishu, this point strengthens the lungs. Visualize a comforting warmth spreading from this area, nourishing your lungs and promoting easy, calm breathing.

Finally, bring your awareness to ST36, located about four finger-widths below the knee cap, on the outer part of your leg. This point, called Zusanli, enhances vitality and overall well-being. Imagine a vibrant energy flowing from this point, revitalizing your entire body and spirit.

As you visualize these points, feel the interconnectedness of your body's systems. Allow the energy to harmonize the functions of your sinuses, lungs, and overall health. With each breath, feel the release of tension and congestion, embracing a state of clarity and ease.

Continue to breathe deeply, allowing the healing energy to circulate throughout your body, bringing balance and harmony. Trust in this natural process, knowing that your body has the innate ability to return to its perfect state of health. Allow this feeling of wellness to envelop you as you rest in this serene state.
