Time rhythms
Which point is open now, how the energies move hour by hour and day by day through the month — and which hours work for you. All on your device's clock.
Open point now
How to stimulate it
Find the matching place on your hand — in the correspondence system the palm stands for the body, each finger for a limb. Press with a fingertip or a blunt probe until you meet a tender spot and work it in small circles for one to three minutes. A seed taped on, or gentle warmth, does the same more slowly.
Gently and without pain: massage or light pressure. This is a practice of self-observation, not treatment — if you feel unwell, see a doctor.
Energies by the hour
The twelve two-hour periods of the chosen day: hour pillar, peaking meridian, Ki and open point.
Energy calendar
The pillar and Ki of every day of the month. A diamond marks the days a solar term begins; every other term changes the month pillar.
Your favourable hours
Hours whose energy replenishes what your birth date lacks, or restrains what it has in excess.
