UB-61 Pucan - Servant's Aide

Pu means a subservient servant or aide, and Can means to visit a superior; you get a sense of the big bow between people of different status, as the servant reports to the Master, asking, "Anything I can do?" Servant's Aide works more on the mental level, on the emotion of fearfulness. When fear freezes thought and action and becomes the automatic response, threatening or not, this point can release the habitual tension.

Moves us toward our highest calling, service, and gives us the qualities needed to serve truly well, namely humility, compassion and moderation. We serve ourselves and others, and as Worsley reminded us over and over, there is no greater joy than being a servant of nature, which leads to a life of ultimate happiness, peace and harmony.

Location: Straight below UB-60, at the upper edge of the outer (lateral) surface of the calcaneus.
Needle depth: 3 fen

• When fear freezes thought and action
• When fear becomes the automatic response, whether the situation is threatening or not
• When habitual tension leaves a person overwrought and exhausted, as if running on empty
• When the person needs a little help, support and encouragement, or feels isolated and alone: to know that someone is there, like a servant offering, "Shall we go for a walk, sir?"

• Not as powerful as UB-62 or UB-63
• Among the points for releasing the External Dragons
• The location suggests a duty given to someone of lower rank: it is the bit of the heel that shows when a servant made the ritual bow
