Notes
Five Elements Spirit Perspective
| Spirit of the Point | Receive Light brings light into darkness, into places where a person's mind is imprisoned and tormented. When Water becomes confused or toxic, the whole of body, mind and spirit suffers: the Will and cleverness are corrupted and the spirit is dulled. High on the head, in the bright, heavenly part of the body, this point helps restore the trust that the tunnel has light at its end, and the feeling that we can endure and face the tasks our life sets us. |
|---|---|
| Worsley | Refers to Heaven's gift of light, which illuminates our world and is available to us unconditionally at all times. Location: 1.3 ACI from the midline of the head, 1½ ACI behind UB-5. |
