As you continue to relax, bring your awareness to the acupuncture points that support mental health.

Begin with TH8, located on the outer side of the forearm, about one handbreadth above the wrist crease. This point helps to regulate Qi, promoting balance and easing symptoms of anxiety and obsessive thoughts.

Next, move your focus to KI16, found about two fingerbreadths to the side of the navel. This point nourishes Yin, supporting emotional stability and grounding the mind amidst turmoil.

Now visualize HA6, located on the midline of the chin. This point addresses facial symptoms of anxiety and helps to release emotional tension.

Shift your attention to CV9, situated on the midline of the abdomen, just above the navel. This point regulates water metabolism, facilitating a sense of calm and clarity in your emotional state.

Finally, concentrate on LY5, located on the inside of the arm, just above the wrist. This point calms emotions and helps to soothe feelings of grief and fear.

As you visualize each point, imagine a warm, healing light emanating from them, balancing your Qi and nourishing your emotional health. Allow this light to flow through your body, releasing tension and promoting a sense of peace.

Inhale deeply, feeling the effects of these points harmonizing your mind and emotions. Exhale any remaining anxiety, letting it dissolve into the air.

Continue to breathe deeply, feeling supported by the energy of these points, as they guide you toward a state of balance and tranquility.
