The Earth Horary Points
Horary points are points that correspond to the same element (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, or Wood) as the Organ/Official of the channel where they reside - Fire point on the Fire channel, Water point on the Water channel, etc.
I teach these points to clients because they are simple self help tools. You may leave a session with a marker dot on points (with your permission, of course.)
You can stimulate these points at anytime, but their energetic influence has greater potential during their time of day - and they have an even stronger influence when treated during their seasonal times on the solstices and equinoxes. For example - treating the Wood point, on the Liver Wood channel at 3 am on the Spring equinox amplifies the point’s energetic functions.
Our Earth element is unique. Where all the other elements correspond with a solstice or equinox — Earth corresponds with the Season of Late Summer, and the shift from one season to the next. It’s a buffer between each season where we focus on coming back to center and balancing. Check out my blog on Late Summer.
Each point is bilateral and they are located on the hands and wrists — you can work them now as you read this. Massage each point for 20-30 seconds....ahhh...
