One of the most empowering acupressure points on the body is CV 6, known as the Sea of Energy. You can do great healing for yourself and others – if you know the point location of CV 6, its functions, how to tap the point’s healing energy, and know the applications in this article. CV 6 strengthens the body’s internal condition, especially the colon, immune system, and sexual urinary reproductive system, and heightens your ability to heal yourself.
Point Location: CV 6 is located two finger widths below the centre of your belly button. The finger pressure should always be applied gradually. Go even slower and more carefully into the abdomen for the elderly and sick. During pregnancy be very gentle, and use the palm of your hand instead of your fingertips.
Point Function: CV 6 revives the body’s healing processes; develops vitality; strengthens the immune system, urinary system, and sexual reproductive system, and benefits the kidneys.
Good for Relieving: stomachache, abdominal cramping, constipation, gas, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual cramps, insomnia, urinary incontinence, impotence, infertility, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive headaches, body aches, a**l or re**al pains, and general weaknesses.
For Constipation: Press CV 6 two or three times a day to relieve and prevent constipation and irritable bowel. Pressing this point activates and strengthens the large intestine, encourages peristalsis, and relaxes the abdomen. Along with this point, use Chi Gong breathing exercises effectively for constipation and irritable bowel since the colon’s partner is the lungs in traditional Chinese health care.
Emotional & Spiritual Benefits: CV 6 is good for developing emotional stability and for deepening spiritual awareness; strengthens your sense of self; used for self-abuse, addictive behaviour, and codependency issues.
Sexuality: The Sea of Qi (CV 6) is good for all kinds of sexual problems for men and women. The abdominal muscles often tighten during lo******ng, which can block the flow of sexual energy. Pressing CV 6 and acupressure points around it, can relieve abdominal tension, strengthen the urinary and reproductive systems, and increase sexual intimacy and pleasure.
