Powerful Points PC 8

One of the very best self help treatment points must surely be PC 8. It is situated in the centre of the palm where the middle finger nail of a clenched fist touches the palm. Please note it is not 'dead' centre of the palm. The great asset of this point is in calming the mind and clearing 'heat' from the head, throat and chest regions. It is colloquially called the 'stigmata' point, for obvious reasons.

PC 8 is said to be the Hand chakra point. This is a minor chakra acupoint that is linked to both the Foot chakra at Kid 1 (minor) and the Crown Chakra at Gov 20 (major) to give a triad of points that are used in stress release and calming the mind. It is one of the most useful sel help acupoints on the body and helps with relaxation, easing tension headaches, dizziness and hypertension. It is a much easier point to use that Kid 1 and is use extensively in qigong and other Eastern body work and martial arts as a point of focus and to generally strengthen chi.

Ten weeks down the road since surgery on my neck, I am still very sore. I am just hoping that things will start to improve by themselves - there is no way I am going through surgery again. I am, though managing to crack on with the LTR book and am now on the penultimate chapter. I shall be checking out some self publishing firms soon as I think that is the best way to go.

We have endured a very wet winter (quite different to the remainder of the UK) - with just 53 days out of 366 days without rain 1 March 2011 to 29 Feb 2012. No problems with low reservoirs here. Snow and gales forecast for the next few days - joy!!
