Located between C7-T1 (spine).

This is the area just before the shoulder bones.GV 14 assists with expelling pathogens, reducing fevers and chills as well as  toniefying the neck and spine.

It strengthens the Wei Qi (protector of energy).

​

My kitty enjoys a little circular rub around the back of the neck with the thumbs, or stroking down from the ears to just past the shoulder blades. This area gets its attention, while she laps up the 'kitty massage' attention.

You don't have to focus on the one small area, petting around it, over it in a manner thats enjoyable for the pet is the key.
