Fifth Energy Center: Ming-Men (Opposite Navel Point On Spine)

This point is the Ming Men, the Door of Life. It is the midpoint of the

kidney, between L2 and L3 on the vertebrae. It is at this point that

kidney power is concentrated. The left kidney is Yin and the right is

Yang and at the center point is a balance between the two. The

Ming Men (the main power point of the body) then, is the harmony

point, containing Yin power. When you concentrate here, the power

rises up the back or descends to the feet. This helps to prevent some of the side effects that occur when the power may suddenly

surge up to the head. Those are standing, sitting, or walking, can

use the Ming-men as their point of concentration.
