UB-47 Hunmen - Spiritual Soul Gate

Spiritual Soul Gate has the same connotations as Soul Door, for reaching the core of the spirit; there is nowhere deeper to go. No point is more potent or powerful for resurrecting the spirit and often gives the result of Soul Door and Spirit Hall combined, plus a bit more. It relates to the Hun, the spiritual soul of the Liver, linked with intuition, imagination and a higher consciousness, a Yang movement toward the heavens. It detoxes the mind and spirit; it is one of those gates we open so we can let go of things, and a general point for cleansing the Liver on a body, mind and spirit level. It is the gate to the eternal, pure soul of the spirit, the part that can never be corrupted or soiled by ego or pollution. It asks, "Why am I here?" and gives access to a person's higher purpose and divine plan.

Releases us from the perceived restriction and imprisonment of the self. This freedom lets us experience the soaring of the spirit within.

• For hopelessness and depression; it lifts much of the stress and anxiety
• When the Liver Official is chaotic: no plans, no view of tomorrow, not caring what will happen
• When the person is confused or "spaced out"
• For an aimless person who has not yet found the path; this point opens the gate onto it
• For mood swings, resentment and anger
• For alcoholics and drug addicts, to help a person come off medications and find a sense of purpose
• When decisions have overloaded and taxed the Liver Official
• For stuckness of spirit, when the spirit is absent
• At times only the door will open and the gate stays shut
• When spirit energies are misdirected and the person mistakes themselves for their roles
• When a person has gone off track and may be using their charisma or spirit energy to manipulate others
• For people crumbling from within

• UB-42 Soul Door and UB-43 Rich for the Vitals together first, before UB-47: respect the power of this point
• Entry/Exit treatment, LIV-14 Gate of Hope, or opening LU-1 Middle Palace before UB-47: when the energy can't move, clear the channel first

• Outer Bladder line point; one of the most frequently used spirit points
• Use after KI-24 Spirit Burial Ground, REN-1 and UB-42 Soul Door
• Take care, as it is very potent: used too soon, it might open up too much too soon, be intense, and the person could feel split off from themselves
• Be prepared and be available after using it
• When the Hun is cultivated, it rises above the influence of the Po
