My first ever acupuncture treatment was shortly after I started school at ATOM in January 2016. This photo is so pixelated, but I love it.
The point in my face is called Yintang, “Hall of Impression” or Seal Hall.
It’s located between the two eyes which are symbols of duality. Yintang imparts the sense of non duality, of unity. “Seal” in Seal Hall refers to the location between the eyes where, according to various traditions, a red mark was placed to represent enlightenment.
It’s often associated with the third eye and relates to intuition and awareness, especially self awareness. It can enhance vision, both outward and inward. What do you see for yourself, how do you see yourself, how do you envision your life?
General indications for Yintang:
Quiets the mind, promotes mental clarity and mental focus, reduces anxiety, agitation, mental restlessness, overthinking, insomnia. Opens up the face to alleviate head colds, frontal headaches, allergies, nasal congestion/ nasal discharge, sinus and facial pain, nosebleeds, dizziness, itchy/ watery eyes
