This point is located on the midline of the abdomen, midway between the umbilicus and the sternocostal angle.

Run the forefinger along upward the lower margin of the ribcage, into the fleshy depression immediately below the solid bony edge of the sternum- this is the sternocostal angle. Find the midpoint between the sternocostal angle and the umbilicus. Stimulate with one or two fingers.

This point is located on the abdomen, halfway between the midline and the outside border of the rectus abdominis muscle (6-pack muscles), at the level of the umbilicus. 

Locate this spot by drawing an imaginary line down the center of your abdomen and an imaginary line down the outside edge of the rectus abdominis muscle. The point is located between these two points, at the level umbilicus. Apply pressure with one or two fingers. 

This point is located on the lower leg, four finger widths below the bottom edge of the knee cap, near the outer edge of the shin. 

The point is at this level, one finger width out from the height of the shin bone. 

This point is located on the inside of the lower leg just below the knee, in a soft depression in the angle formed just behind the shin bone.

Run your finger along the top inside boarder of your shin bone towards the back of your knee. There is a fleshy depression below the head of the shin bone, midway between the front and back of your knee, on the inside of the lower leg. This area may feel sensitive- gentle pressure when locating the point is recommended.

This point is located on the inside of the lower leg.

Find the highest point of the inner ankle bone and measure four  fingers widths up from that high point to find this point. The point is located at that level, in line with the ankle bone.

This point is located on the top of the foot in the space between the bones leading up to the first and second toe. 

To stimulate this point, place your finger between the first and second toe. Slide your finger toward the top of the foot, staying between the two bones. The point is located in the space between the two bones, roughly one third of the way between the base of the toes and the ankle.

This point is located on the inside of the foot, in the fleshy depression slightly behind the head of the first metatarsal bone.

Moving along the inner edge of the foot from the big toe toward the ankle, slide your finger over the side of the ball of the foot into the small fleshy depression to stimulate this point.
