I’m going to reveal to you the secret mantra that I use when I really really really need to just let go…
ready?….
”FUCK IT !”
(try it out for yourself to see how well it works!)

Large Intestine 4 is the “FUCK IT!” point. It does an amazing job of letting go of what no longer serves on ANY level!

And….Cue the song from Frozen… this is the ultimate “let it go” point. LI 4 empowers us to let go of that which no longer serves in all aspects of being

Location:

On the dorsum of the hand, between the first and second metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone and close to its radial border. Translation: in the middle of the fleshy pad that joins the thumb and index finger on the top of the hand. (point will likely be tender to touch)

How to Stimulate:

You can stimulate this point by gently massaging it directly with your thumb for 30 seconds or until you are inspired to take a deep breath.

Feel Amazing!

Love, Lance
