GV-20 - Hundred Meetings
百会 - Bǎi huì
Point Region: Head (top)
GV-20 Baihui, translated as 'Hundred Meetings,' represents the spectacular convergence where all of the body's Yang energy streams unite at the crown of the head. Like a magnificent lighthouse perched at the highest point of the human form, this point serves as both a beacon drawing celestial energy downward and a transmitter broadcasting our highest intentions upward into the cosmos.
Positioned at the apex of consciousness where countless meridian pathways converge, Baihui embodies the principle of unity in diversity—demonstrating how multiple energy streams can merge into a single, powerful force. This point is revered across many traditions as the gateway to higher consciousness, the location where individual awareness touches universal wisdom, and the anchor point for spiritual practices that seek to elevate human experience beyond ordinary limitations.
In practical terms, GV-20 excels at lifting energy that has become stuck or stagnant in the lower regions of the body, making it invaluable for depression, mental fatigue, and that heavy feeling that comes from being too grounded in material concerns. Like a spiritual elevator, this point can raise our perspective above the immediate circumstances of daily life, offering the broader view needed for wisdom, clarity, and inner peace.
