In this post I will discuss the relationship of the acupuncture point Zu Lin Qi (GB-41) to the connection, adjustment and balancing of the hip. Point location: In the depression distal to the junction of the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones, on the lateral side of the tendon of m. extensor digiti minimi of the foot.For the purposes of Zhan Zhuang this point comes out just behind the "little ball" of the foot. Although Zu Lin Qi has a number of important internal functions, for the purpose of this discussion we will focus on it's auxillary ability to directly release the hip.
Connecting GB-41 to open and adjust the Hip: Without shifting central equilibrium, focus on the point (on the top of the foot) relaxing until you can feel where the additional weight comes out on the bottom of the foot (behind the "little ball.) Notice the change in how the hip feels. Repeat the above process several times until you feel a substantial release (or adjustment) in the hip and/or a greater connection between the two locations.
More Later.
