Location: At the back of the neck in line with the shoulders and level with the lower edge of the first thoracic vertebra. Located 2 finger widths on either side of the spine.

Technique: Reach the hands over the back on either side of the neck and apply firm, relaxed pressure to the points with the index or middle fingers for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Both points can be stimulated simultaneously, using sustained pressure or small massage rotations. Breathe evenly and visualize healthy, strong bones throughout the body. If your arms become tired, lower them for a moment and then repeat. You should experience mild tingling under your fingertips and an enjoyable sensation of the relief of any tension in this area.

Benefits: Regular acupressure to this point on both sides of the spine is said to promote strong, healthy bones throughout the body. It can also help prevent and relieve neck and shoulder pain and tension headaches.
