K-27 Points

K-27 points are the 27th acupuncture points of the kidney meridian.

K-27 points are for energising, extending energy, & aligning meridians.

When you are getting tired, the energy flow in one or more meridians may reverse their flow making you feel even more tired. This is your body's way of informing you to rest. However there may be times when you need to carry on (e.g. when you are having to drive). The K-27 points gives you some control over this by helping you extend your energy limits. The K-27 can be stimulated to send a signal to your brain telling it to correct the flow of your energy along the meridains.

Technique: Finding and Stimulating K-27

Finding K-27

2. With your fingers, follow your clavicle inwards till you reach the 'corner' of your clavicle, near your sternum.
3. Then drop slightly down & out to the indent just below the clavicle. This is K-27.
