Body Core Strengthening Using Acupressure Point CV 6
CV 6: Sea of Energy Point is in the Same Location on Women and Men
One of the most empowering Acupressure points on the body is known as the Sea of Energy or the Sea of Qi. You can do great healing on yourself and others once you know this point’s location and functions, and also how to use CV 6 to fully tap its healing energy.
The Sea of Energy strengthens the body’s core pelvic muscles and its internal condition. Especially effected are the colon, immune system, and the sexual reproductive systems of both men and women. As the CV 6 point strengthens your body core, it heightens your ability to heal yourself and also supports healthy emotional balancing.

Point Location
CV 6 is found in your abdomen, two finger-widths below the center of your belly button.
Basic Acupressure Instructions
Use the pads of your fingertips to hold CV 6. The finger pressure should always be applied gradually, both to go into the point and to come out of it. Make sure to take long, slow, deep breaths the entire time you’re holding the Sea of Energy point.
Start slowly with a gentle, firm pressure. After a minute, you can then gradually go deeper. Hold the point for two to three minutes, breathing deeply. Gradually let go of the deep pressure, as you hold with a gentle firmness before you come off the point.
IMPORTANT NOTE — Go much slower and more carefully into the abdomen for anyone who is elderly or sick. During pregnancy be especially gentle, using the whole palm of your hand, applying a lighter pressure very slowly.

Point Functions
CV 6 revives the body’s healing processes and develops inner vitality. This Acupressure point relieves abdominal and menstral cramps. Holding it regularly strengthens the digestive, immune, urinary, and sexual-reproductive systems; and it also benefits the kidneys. For this reason, CV 6 is helpful for counteracting low sexual energy and infertility.
Relief for Many Common Complaints
Examples are digestive disorders stomachache, cramps, constipation, gas, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), digestive headaches, menstrual issues, impotence, infertility, low sexual desire, insomnia, urinary incontinence, chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia, bodyaches, anal or rectal pains, and general weakness.
Constipation Relief
Press CV 6 two or three times a day for a few minutes to relieve and prevent constipation and irritable bowel sysdrome (IBS). Pressing this point activates and remarkably strengthens the large intestine, encourages peristalsis, and relaxes the abdomen.
Along with this point, you can integrate Qi Gong breathing exercises. That combination is effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), because in Traditional Chinese Medicine the partner of the Large Intestine is the Lungs.

Sexuality & Intimacy
The Sea of Qi is good for all kinds of sexual problems for both men and women. The abdominal muscles often tighten during lovemaking, which can block the flow of sexual energy. Pressing CV 6 and other Acupressure points around it can relieve the abdominal tension, strengthen the urinary and reproductive systems, and increase sexual intimacy and pleasure.
