Yunmen - Lung 2
Once you have stretched the lung meridian and softened all the tissues around it you will find great benefit from stimulating different acupressure points along the meridian. I have chosen this point because it's not only good for our breathing but also good for upper back and shoulder stiffness.
Slide your index finger along the underside of the collar bone from the centre towards the shoulder. At the end of the collar bone where it meets the shoulder bone is a slight dip – this is Yunmen ( Cloud Door) or the 2nd point on the lung meridian. Press into it with the first or second finger of the opposite hand. As you exhale press a little harder and as you inhale take the pressure off. Stay for 3 or 4 breaths and then repeat on the other side.
This point is good for all lung disharmonies especially for coughs, wheezing and asthma. It is also good for shoulder pain and back pain and tension in the chest.
