As you focus on your animal, visualize them comfortably resting. Imagine the energy flowing through their body, bringing balance and harmony.

Begin with ST36, located on the front of the hind leg, just below the knee. This point strengthens the overall energy, or Qi, enhancing vitality and promoting resilience against allergies. Picture a warm, golden light radiating from this point, nourishing your animal's energy and boosting their strength.

Now, bring your attention to LI4, found on the front of the foreleg, in the webbing between the first and second toes. This point supports the immune system. Visualize a bright, protective shield forming around your animal, empowering them to fend off allergens and irritants.

Next, focus on LU7, positioned on the front of the leg, just above the wrist. This point opens the lungs, allowing fresh, healing air to flow in. Picture your animal inhaling deeply, with each breath cleansing their lungs and clearing congestion. Feel the lightness that comes with open airways.

Shift your focus to BL13, located on the back, near the spine, at the level of the shoulder blades. This point strengthens lung function. Imagine a comforting warmth enveloping this area, reinforcing their lungs and enhancing their ability to breathe easily and naturally.

Lastly, concentrate on SP6, situated on the inside of the hind leg, just above the ankle. This point nourishes the Yin, supporting overall balance in the body. Visualize a soothing, calming energy flowing through this point, harmonizing the body's systems and reducing any excess heat or irritation caused by allergies.

As you hold these images, breathe deeply and slowly, allowing the energy from these points to merge and flow through your animal. With each breath, imagine their body becoming lighter, more balanced, and free from the discomfort of allergies. Feel the connection between you and your animal, sharing this healing energy and creating a serene environment for their recovery. Let this visualization settle, knowing that you are facilitating their natural healing process.
