As you continue to settle into this deep state of relaxation, bring your awareness to the gentle flow of your breath. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the recipe for post-COVID respiratory support involves specific acupuncture points that harmonize the body and enhance lung function. Focus first on SI2, located on the ulnar side of the little finger, just below the knuckle. This point supports the hands and lungs, helping to release any tension and allow for deeper breathing. Next, visualize LI16, found on the shoulder, just below the acromion process. This point helps to open the chest and facilitate the flow of Qi, the vital energy that nourishes your body. Now, bring your attention to ST44, situated on the foot, between the second and third toes. This point is known to clear heat and alleviate cough, promoting a sense of calm and relief. Shift your focus to CV21, located at the center of the chest, just above the sternum. This point opens the chest and aids in easing tightness, but approach it with caution if any chest conditions are present. Finally, visualize BL17, located on the back, about one and a half inches from the spine at the level of the diaphragm. This point invigorates blood circulation, helping to reduce fatigue and enhance overall vitality. With each breath, visualize the energy flowing through these points, healing the lungs and chest, alleviating shortness of breath, chronic cough, and fatigue. Picture each point glowing with warmth and light, harmonizing the body's natural state. As you breathe deeply, allow this energy to balance and restore your respiratory system, nurturing a feeling of ease and well-being. Embrace this natural process, allowing your body to return to its perfect state of health. Continue to inhale the healing energy and exhale any discomfort, letting go of what no longer serves you.
