Spirit of the Point	A major Wood point in the neck area, where the meridian turns back toward the front of the head. It brings the spirit into harmony, settling or lifting it as the person needs. When life has frayed the spirit of Wood, its benevolence can sour into a curmudgeonly irritability, and this point refreshes it.
Worsley	Location: On the head, with the head bent forward: in the angle between the occipital bone's lower border and the back edge of the mastoid process. Needle depth: 5 fen Moxa: 3-7 cones
When to Consider	When the Wood energy is stuck When the spirit lacks vision or the courage to move forward and grow When a person feels life is a constant battle and has become curmudgeonly and irritable When the Mind and Spirit need help to move through inertia When sleep is disturbed by dreams of conflict and fighting
Notes	Consider using on a Wood Causative Factor (CF) whose energy is stuck
