Notes
Five Elements Spirit Perspective
| Spirit of the Point | The Gallbladder gives coordination and the courage to act. When it is disturbed there can be timidity, the 'small gallbladder', weak and unfocused thinking, a lack of motivation and difficulty with speech and movement. This point settles the mind and gives clarity and strength back to Mind and Spirit. |
