Heart meridian
On the anteromedial aspect of the forearm, radial to the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris, 1.5 B-cun proximal to the palmar wrist crease (0.5 B-cun above HT5).
Gently settles a heart that flutters with nerves, helps with a suddenly hoarse voice or a lump-in-the-throat feeling before speaking, and releases forearm tension.
Find the small hollow at the edge of the tendon and hold a soft thumb pressure for 45-60 seconds, breathing slowly; do each arm.
The ulnar artery and nerve run close by - keep the pressure moderate. Ease off if you feel tingling or numbness in the little and ring fingers.
