Truth be told&#8230; I actually got in trouble in High School, Junior High and Elementary School as well. It had something to do with telling my teachers how they should run their classes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In Points class I had to learn all the &#8220;rules&#8221; of measurement. It was hard for me to focus on the rules because I was already accustomed to letting my fingers tell me where the points were.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Background&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">During my early years as a massage therapist, I realized my hands were really good at telling me what needed to be done. Often, my fingers were drawn to the areas of the body that needed help. I&#8217;d find bumps, valleys and divots where my fingers were naturally drawn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">As I learned to trust my fingers, I really progressed as a massage therapist. Patients wanted to know what I felt. I couldn&#8217;t explain it at the time. It was something my hands just KNEW. My typical answers was this, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know\u2013but someday I&#8217;m going to figure it out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Then I met an acupuncturist who knew. How did I know? When she touched me, I felt in my own body, exactly what I felt when I was working on someone else. It&#8217;s hard to explain\u2013but I just knew.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Finally, I&#8217;d met someone who could relate to what I felt, and I was determined to find answers. I had a million questions. She just smiled and said, &#8220;If you go to Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and get your degree in Acupuncture, you&#8217;ll find the answers you are looking for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So I trusted her and went to school to learn what my fingers were trying to tell me.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>College<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Points classes were my favorite. Learning about points made me giggle with excitement. My brain lit up.<\/p>\n<p>They were my favorite UNTIL I got in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The problem was with the Point location&#8230;there were so many rules! You had to know them EXACTLY or you couldn&#8217;t pass the class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember the rules? They were so complicated!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Sometimes<\/em> I found a point in a different location than what the RULES told me. I KNEW where the point was because I could feel it, but it didn&#8217;t always match the textbook location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then I got in trouble.<\/strong> You can imagine how things went when <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I told the instructor how to find the point<\/span><\/strong>: &#8220;Just close your eyes and run your finger along the channel, then move over a bit when you reach the halfway point.

They are often surprised that their finger location is not the same as the textbook location.
