In japanese meridian therapy acupuncture, this

is called a live point. First you find the anatomical location of the

point and then you palpate area for where the " live point " is.

This type of point location was not stressed at the TCM college I

attended.I learned it from kurahara sensei, while learning japanese

acupuncture.

 

If you are interested, Shudo Denmai has just published an excellent

book on the this subject called " Finding Effective Acupucncture

Points " .

much of this technique involves " intuition " ? can you talk more about

this or refer those interested to other sources? I find I have

intuitively often done this w/patients...although someone reluctantly

at times due to the way I was taught .....i.e. to be " precise " w/point

location. Thanks, TH
