Sun and Moon Collective
Across various cultures and spiritual traditions, the sun and moon are powerful, universal symbols of duality, representing the essential balance between opposing forces of light and energy. They are often viewed as complementary, with one active, expansive, yang and outward-focused, while the other is passive, receptive, yin and inward-focused.
Ri Yue 日月, meaning Sun and Moon, is the 24th acupuncture point on the Gall Bladder meridian (energetic pathway). The point is located on the upper abdomen in the 7th rib space, below the nipple and lateral to the midline. This Spirit of the Point of GB24, Sun and Moon, is that the point acts as a bridge between our conscious and unconscious realms, helps harmonize our inner and outer worlds, and promote balance between extroversion and introversion, action and receptivity, speech and silence. This point helps us see the world through the non-dual eyes, where everything is connected - self and other, light and dark; like a key to unlock deeper wisdom and see the bigger picture.
Sun and Moon Collective was created to honor the thresholds of life and awaken the inner sage in all of us.
