Go-To Point: PC6

One of my go-to points: PC6, or Inner Frontier Gate.

PC6 is great for calming emotions, especially anxiety or an overactive mind. This point relieves an upset stomach and regulates digestion, so it’s helpful for nausea. It also opens up the chest and relaxes neck/shoulder tension.

PC6 is a point on the Pericardium channel. Pericardium is the ‘heart protector’ as it determines what is allowed in and out of the heart. Working with this channel enables opening of the heart space with the ability to be present and receptive with oneself and with others.

PC6 located about 2in above the wrist crease, in the middle of the forearm. If you clench your fist, it can be found between the two tendons that stick out. You can press here with light to medium pressure for a couple minutes or as long you feel called to.
