@sacred_psychiatry: Palace of the Wind: Protecting the threshold to your inner sanctuary (GV 16) There are 13 points on the human body where, according to classical Chinese medicine, ghosts and demons can enter. The ancients mapped them, named them, and taught us how to awaken their protective medicine. At the base of your skull, in the soft hollow just beneath the bony ridge on your midline, there’s a point called Palace of the Wind - sometimes Ghost Forest. This is Governing Vessel 16 (GV 16), one of the 13 ghost points used to calm the mind, treat addiction and emotional trauma, and in older times, expel what tradition called demons and ghosts. The language has evolved. The medicine has not. GV 16 is understood as a threshold between the external world and the palace within - the home of your own divinity. Because it’s a doorway, it can be entered. Exterior influences, collective thought forms, ambient anxiety, the pull of group thinking find their way in through this point. A direct blow to this location can cause physical death - telling you something about what lives here and why it deserves tending. Working with GV 16 strengthens immunity in literal and metaphorical senses. As practitioner Michele Marie Gervais writes, activating Ghost Forest brings awareness and renewal of vitality, creating heightened capacity for self-defense. To work with this point: locate the soft depression, apply frankincense essential oil, massage with gentle pressure. This cultivates the ability to witness this moment’s enormity without being consumed. ✨ What tools are you using to protect and fortify yourself? Share below!
