Liver 14: Qi Men or Gate of Hope
“Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.” Robert Green Ingersoll
This energy-vortex, aka. acupuncture point, reminds us to take a fresh breath, to in-spire, to feel re-inspired in our lives. With a big inhale, spring winds move through our chest and we can shed winter. Gate of Hope is found directly below the nipple in the space between the ribs. Palpate for tenderness. In addition to massaging this point, you can use essential oils such as lemongrass, bergamot, or eucalyptus to liberate the qi through the chest.
