Lung 2 - Cloud Gate - Disperses the clouds of Grief & Lets the Light of Heart Shine Through

Metal Element
Written By Lance Isakov

Hi everyone!

Have you ever had that feeling like you are just under a cloud? Like those old Charlie Brown cartoons where there is a raincloud following him around? That is what this point is for. To help clear the clouds and let the sun out again.

When a patient is caught in the oppressive feelings of grief or stuck in a down, fuzzy, dark, or negative emotional and mental state, we can use this point to help part the clouds and bring the sun out.

Lung 2, can help to reconnect us to our own inner light and bring clarity, inspiration, and upliftment to our minds and spirits.

We will stimulate this point by tapping with our fingers. Continue to tap, until you feel a deep breath come and go.
