For these final, liminal days of 2025, here is an acupoint and flower essence pairing for a gentle step in a good direction
Xuanli (Suspended Hair): On the Gallbladder Meridian GB6:
Like dropping softly to the ground with both feet to connect heaven and earth. A simple preparation for a purposeful step forward.
Hexagram 24 ( 
) the Gallbladder Meridian’s resonant hexagram has just one line of Yang returning after the Winter Solstice. This is a moment of quiet re-orientation to gather confidence before moving ahead.
If it feels appropriate for you, you can massage both temples (the point in the photo is approximate) or apply your vibrational perfume/fragrance.
Sovereign One to orient; Harmonize Two to connect with your chosen intent. And Myriad Three, for decision, clarity, strategy.
The photograph of the clay idol of Ma Durga is by Siddharth Vyas, 2024. The red asterisk indicating the GB6 point is my addition.
Scleranthus Flower Essence:
I’ve written about this flower before, but I’m recalling it now for its connection to the Gallbladder meridian, also known as the Official or General of Decisions and Strategy.
Scleranthus helps us make a choice and commit to a path. Its tiny flowers bring to mind concentrated energy, just as a homeopathic remedy is stronger in small doses. Scleranthus flower essence is in Myriad Three.
