The Power of One Point: REN-17 and the Softening of the Heart
May 30, 2025
There’s a place at the center of your chest where breath meets emotion.
Where grief softens. Where love lives.
In Chinese medicine, it’s known as REN-17, or Shanzhong—the Chest Centre, and the Sea of Qi.
This point is a meeting place of the Ren channel with the Heart, Pericardium, Lung, and emotional fields.
Clinical benefits include:
- Regulates the breath and chest
- Opens the Pericardium (your emotional protector)
- Supports lactation and breast health
- Treats anxiety, cough, asthma, and chest tightness
- Descends rebellious Stomach Qi (vomiting, acid, tension)
Energetic benefits include:
- Gathers and centers the spirit
- Soothes grief and over-efforting
- Helps you feel safe to express yourself
- Gently expands the Heart field
This Saturday, we close the Wood Element season with our final live call in Yin Sanctuary.
And on June 1, we enter the Fire Element—the season of the Heart.
Inside the Sanctuary, you’ll also receive a downloadable gift:
My artwork, The Power of the Points—a visual meditation on REN-17.
Join us if you’re ready to soften, open, and reconnect to the Qi of the Heart.
