Method of pressing acupuncture spot is a vast medicine field. We only need to know most important parts because we do not have enough time to experience the whole study.
The acupuncture spot of the human being is on unfixed positions on each person; it can be fluctuate a bit… Acupuncture spots are important chains of air flow; it is just like the intersection of several ways of bio electricity born from the human body. Classic acupuncture spot medicine calls acupuncture spot by certain names. However, in order to remember easily, I list some more.
Acupuncture spot on top of the head (number 1): This is an extremely important acupuncture spot to connect the air of bio electricity from top of the head to chest, around the anal from the sacrum to back, neck and return to top of the head. The important of fairy state is to open this acupuncture spot and turn to a flower of thousand petals on top of the head after acupuncture spot number 1 is open.

In fact, when wanting to clarify the pulses before circulating air, we need to press the acupuncture spot of the whole body as following:
Acupuncture spots need to be opened before circulating air, the positions are relative. Thus, basing on each person, we need to find out differently. The person opening acupuncture spots is the one who know clearly acupuncture spot knowledge, a master can feel acupuncture spots through air flow. When pressing the acupuncture spots, we need to announce that whether it is painful or not to know the exact position. This is the lesson of pressing acupuncture spots to cure sciatic nerve pain for ones who are painful or elder people who have diseases. However, this lesson overlaps the method of recovering health and overlaps the method of opening acupuncture spots before and after practicing respiratory training.( Colonel Tran Nam Trung, head of infirmary district 3, HCMC taught me to cure disease for my mother 20 years ago), now, the infirmary has become hospital of district 3.
4.1 Way of pressing the acupuncture spots:
Use thumb or index finger clipping other fingers to have enough strength. Masters of air usually use index finger because it releases the air sharply and strongly. Meanwhile, thumb belongs to a weak air flow so it is weaker. However, to open acupuncture spots on the back, we can use elbow if it is necessary. Acupuncture spots in the body are very sensitive. There are acupuncture spots which are stuck for a long time, when doctor presses them, they are very painful. Master and apprentice should press softly depending on each person. There are some respiratory scholars when having apoplexy, their acupuncture spots are still stuck and they need to press to open again.
Painful acupuncture spots need to be pressed softly clockwise for a while and then press anticlockwise. We can press at one point if it is not very painful, press softly and then stronger and stronger. We should press 3 minutes for each acupuncture spot. When the index finger is tired, we use thumb, when thumb is tired we use palm. When acupuncture spot on the backbone is strong enough, we can press deeply, press with the whole body’s strength and may use elbow to cure perplex area inside the body.
4.1.1 Open acupuncture spots:
There are many acupuncture spots, the opening way is simple, and learners do not need to know a lot about acupuncture spots, we can learn more.
4.1.2 Pressing acupuncture spots on head, face
We press acupuncture spot number 2, between forehead and root of hair, divide the face into two, press up or down a bit for the patient to feel painful. Press strongly for 10 seconds. We press on top of the head to find acupuncture spot number 1. Each 1 cm, we press once because nearby acupuncture spots are very near, if the patient says it is painful, that is the stuck acupuncture spot. Acupuncture spot number 2 is 5-6 cm from acupuncture spot number 1. When pressing acupuncture spot number 1, we continue press along the line that dividing the head to acupuncture spot number 13 (mid of the head, mid of the upper of two ears).
From acupuncture spot number 2 to acupuncture spot number 1 to acupuncture spot number 13 we remember painful acupuncture spots to return to press again for 5-10 second. After 5-10 minutes, we have pressed the main flow which is pulse flow of half of the head. Beside two main flows are to subordinate flows, we press, beginning with temple, right or left next to root of hair press up and backward. We press backward to acupuncture spot number 13. Similarly, we press the other side. We should not press the two symmetric acupuncture spots because the energy can be disorder. In fact, for doctors, they just need to press to know healthy or diseased acupuncture spots. And we just need to press diseased acupuncture spots to save time for other ones.
4.1.3 Pressing the acupuncture spots on face:
This is an additional lesson for contemporary healthy state, overcoming flu.
Use the two hands to touch the head, two thumbs press head of the eyebrow (23), press the two temples (22),two thumbs continue to press the forehead (21), here we can use index finger to press (2). Two thumbs press down to the area between the two eyebrows, press the two eyebrows to temples. Two index fingers press from (2) to (21) and return to temples, press hard two temples, if there is a bluish black, the patient is caught the rain flu. Use the two index fingers to press mid of the nose’s side (below eyes), thumb presses the cheek to the end of ears (33) and press softly this place. The index fingers press at temples upper the two ears to cheek in front of ears, press softly the front of ears behind the canthus to ear lobe.

4.1.5 Press the acupuncture spots on neck and back
The patient lies face downwards, hands and legs become loose. After pressing behind the head, stop at acupuncture spot number (13), we continue to acupuncture spot (12); this is the joint of neck and backbone, the only way from the body to head. When someone suffers from being stuffy, hard to breath, just press acupuncture spot number 12.
Down is acupuncture spot number (11), on the same height at heart. However, we have to check from acupuncture spot number 12 downward 1-2 cm; have to press once in order to see whether it is stuck on the way. Acupuncture spot number 11 is the main acupuncture spot but above and below it may have bones which are painful, we have to be patient to press these acupuncture spots. Similarly, our hands press acupuncture spot number 10. In 10-11-12 is the area that concentrates the nerves of trachea, gullet, two hands, the whole nerves in the ribs, the cradle of air flow, strength of the human being. Open the acupuncture spots here must be frequently and patiently, if pressing by fingers and it is not painful, press with the elbow, press so hard on the patient to clear the air flow.
4.1.6. Acupuncture spot number 9-10
Acupuncture spot number 9 is the waist; however, we need to check the way from 10 downward. Acupuncture spot number 10 is very important because it is the intersection of the nerves of stomach, liver, intestine, spleen and kidney. Between number 9 and 10 is a side of important area, thus, when pressing the acupuncture spots, we have to check to not miss. Number 9 checks to the end is the final group of nerves in the spine. This acupuncture spot is the beginning point of the fire flow coming from the final point of Ran acupuncture spot(the acupuncture spot running from the head to the face to belly and end at near the anal), and this is the first fire point of Du acupuncture spot. Fire flow is born thank to the process of circulating air at Dan tian (acupuncture spot number 6), the air flow is concentrated here and then down to acupuncture spot number 7 and 8. The air flow moves and spreads at acupuncture spot number 6,7,8,9 making an energy field which grows gradually and go through the backbone to top of the head. However, the pressing acupuncture spot section is not end. We have to follow and practice at the following part.
We call the below part is ying to have negative acupuncture spots (easy to remember). We begin to press the acupuncture spots in pelvis and two legs. We begin to check the hands to acupuncture spot number (-8) and (-81), nerves group and sacrum separating the two main blood vessels to two legs. All acupuncture spots (-8) are important to two legs. Next acupuncture spots such as (-7) and (-6), the most important acupuncture spot is acupuncture spot number (-6) which has two acupuncture spots (-6A) and (-6B) which are two group of nerves, the gate to two knees. Acupuncture spot number (-63) on the instep of the feet and between the sole of the feet and the point of connecting the human being to the ground.
At the shank we have to pay attention that from the knees downward, the way to stimulate the acupuncture spot is check the below of the leg, two sides of the bone in front of the legs. The most important acupuncture spot is 3-4 cm downward the knee.

4.2. Open the way of mind
When we have the feeling of having learnt many things, our mind feels less afraid, the spirit is excited. When we learn many things, our brains become composed, self-proud. When we have overcome all daily difficulties and dangers, we ourselves feel that we are strong, modest and free. At that time we can touch respiratory training, chanting mind knowledge. After overcoming meditation and open acupuncture spots, learners should have a timetable to circulate air.
