Heart · Shou Shao Yin
Nine points and the wrist trio: HT5, HT6, HT7.
How it starts
Nine points: along with the Pericardium channel, the shortest channel in the body. Nearly all the clinical interest is concentrated in four points that fit within a cun and a half of wrist, and learning to tell them apart is the work of this lesson.
The rest of the lesson opens with Acupuncture II.
In this lesson you will learn
- Locate the course of the channel and its nine points.
- Tell HT4, HT5, HT6 and HT7 apart, which are less than two cun from one another.
- Choose between dispersing and nourishing in Shen (Spirit) patterns.
- Needle safely on the ulnar border of the wrist.

Acupuncture IIChannels and Points
“The complete map of the body, channel by channel.”
A systematic tour of the fourteen channels and their points: categories (Five Shu points, Yuan, Luo, Xi, Mu, Back-Shu, Hui, confluent), the pathway of each channel, key points with their exact locations, the eight extraordinary vessels, the extra points, and the rules for combining points.
By the end of the course, you will know how to
- Recite the pathway of the fourteen channels and their key points.
- Choose a point by its category, not from a memorized list.
- Accurately locate the 120 points used every day.
- Open an extraordinary vessel with its paired confluent point.
- Build a point formula with logic, not by recipe.
