Shedding the Year of the Snake and bringing in the fiery energy of the Year of the Horse! 🐍➡️🐎🔥

HT7 (Shenmen) is one of our favorite acupressure points to support this transition.
Located at the wrist crease on the pinky‑side, HT7 helps:
• calm the spirit
• ease anxiety + restlessness
• support sleep
• anchor the heart when energy gets big, fast, or fiery

A perfect point for grounding as we move into a year of movement, courage, and forward momentum.

Press gently for 1–2 minutes on each side while breathing slowly and intentionally — a simple ritual to help you stay centered as the Fire Horse energy picks up speed ✨
