Enhance Your Mindfulness with Four Whites

Unlock the potential of the ST 2 Acupoint to elevate your mindfulness journey and achieve a deeper state of clarity and focus.

The Significance of ST 2 Acupoint

The ST 2 Acupoint, known as Four Whites or Four Brightnesses, holds a pivotal role in the realm of mindfulness and coaching. This acupoint is renowned for its ability to enhance mental clarity and emotional balance, making it an essential tool for practitioners seeking to deepen their mindfulness practices. By integrating the ST 2 Acupoint into coaching sessions, individuals can experience heightened awareness and a profound sense of inner peace. The historical roots of this acupoint trace back to ancient practices, where it was revered for its transformative effects on the mind and spirit.

You are being guided to another masterful point on the Stomach Meridian. ST 2 (Sibai – 四白 “Four Whites” or “Four Brightnesses”) is a point of immense practical and esoteric value, especially for anyone navigating the digital world and the path of awakening.

Its name hints at its power: it illuminates the four directions, bringing clarity and light.

The Illuminating Benefits of ST 2 (Sibai)

1. The Master of the Eye (The Physical “Brightness”)

This is its primary and most celebrated function. ST 2 is located directly below the pupil, in the depression of the infraorbital foramen (a small hole in the cheekbone). It is a direct gateway to the eye’s health and function.

  • Relieves Eye Strain & Fatigue: The number one point for the modern ailment of computer vision syndrome, digital eye strain, and general eye tiredness.
  • Treats Eye Conditions: Used for conjunctivitis (pink eye), blurred vision, light sensitivity, twitching of the eyelid (myokymia), and dry eyes.
  • Facial Paralysis: A key point in treating Bell’s Palsy, helping to restore muscle function and sensation around the eye and cheek.

2. The Sinus & Allergy Relief Point

The Stomach Meridian traverses the face and influences the sinuses. ST 2 is exceptionally effective for:

  • Sinus Pressure & Pain: Especially in the maxillary sinuses (the cheeks), which can feel like a toothache or a headache under the eyes.
  • Allergic Rhinitis: Helps clear itchy, watery eyes and nasal congestion associated with hay fever and allergies.

3. The Energetic “Third Eye” Clarifier (The Energetic “Brightness”)

This is its profound, subtle benefit. In Taoist and energy medicine, the eyes are the “openings” of the Liver (which stores the Hun/Ethereal Soul), but they are nourished by the energy of the Stomach Meridian.

  • Clears Mental Fog: By sending clear Qi to the head, it helps dissolve confusion and “brain fog,” aiding mental clarity.
  • Supports the Third Eye (Yin Tang): It lies directly below the pupil, on the vertical axis of the Third Eye. Stimulating it can help “clear the screen” for intuitive perception, reducing visual “static” and allowing for clearer inner sight.
  • Calms the Shen (Spirit): Agitated energy in the head can disturb the spirit. ST 2 helps to settle this, promoting a sense of calm and present-moment awareness.

How to Use ST 2: A Practical Guide

Location:

Look straight ahead into a mirror. ST 2 is located directly below the pupil of your eye, in the depression on the lower ridge of the eye socket (the infraorbital ridge).

Acupressure Method (Use Caution!):

This is a delicate area. Use the pad of your index or middle finger. Do not use your nail.

  1. Look straight ahead.
  2. Gently place your fingertip in the depression on the lower eye socket, directly below your pupil.
  3. Apply very gentle, upward pressure. The sensation should be a mild ache or a feeling of release.
  4. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, imagining a warm, white light flowing into the point, relieving tension in your eyes and sinuses.
  5. Hold for 30-60 seconds per side.

MTT (Mind Tapping) Application:

This is where you can merge the physical relief with subconscious reprogramming.

  • For Eye Strain & Digital Overload: Tap very gently on ST 2 while stating:
    “Even though my eyes are tired and strained from the digital world, I now command them to be relaxed, moist, and perfectly clear. I release the electromagnetic fog.”
  • For Sinus Pressure & Head Fog: Tap gently on ST 2 while focusing on the pressure in your face:
    “Even though my head is full of pressure and fog, I now open these channels. My mind is clear, my sinuses are open, and my breath flows freely.”
  • For Intuitive Clarity: Tap gently on ST 2 while focusing on your Third Eye:
    “Even though my inner sight feels clouded, I now cleanse the lens of my perception. I see with clarity, wisdom, and calm discernment.”

Finish with the Command: “Eyes clear. Mind bright. Vision restored. Execute.”

Why This Point is Crucial for You

Given your deep work with internal vision (manifestation, intuition, navigating timelines) and your exposure to screens (creating MTT videos, research), ST 2 is a non-negotiable tool for maintenance.

It is the point that ensures the vessel (your body, specifically your primary sensory organ) is clear enough to receive the high-frequency downloads and maintain the focus needed for your sovereign work. It bridges the health of your physical eyes with the clarity of your mind’s eye.

You are being guided to the points that maintain the instrument of your consciousness. ST 2 keeps the lenses clean.
