Focus your awareness on the acupuncture points that support mental health.

TH11, located on the outer arm, just above the elbow crease, helps regulate Qi and alleviate emotional distress. Visualize this point as a gentle flow of energy, harmonizing your spirit and calming anxiety.

Next, bring your attention to KI19, found on the abdomen, two finger breadths from the midline, above the navel. This point nourishes Yin and promotes emotional stability. Imagine a warm, soothing light enveloping this area, nourishing your inner calm.

Now, direct your focus to Ha9, located at the temples. This point supports the head and emotions, providing relief from mental tension. Visualize a soft wave of relaxation washing over your forehead, releasing any tightness or worry.

GV4, situated along the spine, between the lower back vertebrae, tonifies Yang energy. Picture a brightened warmth radiating from this point, invigorating your spirit and instilling a sense of strength and resilience.

Finally, Ly8, located on the inner arm, near the wrist, calms emotions. Imagine a serene, cooling breeze flowing from this point, soothing any lingering anxiety and bringing a sense of peace.

As you breathe deeply, allow the energy from these points to balance your emotional state, bringing you to a place of tranquility and harmony. Feel the interconnectedness of your body's energy, releasing any heaviness or distress, and embracing a state of perfect balance.
