Read biteIn brief
Bai Hui (百会, GV20), also written Baihui, sits at the crown of the head on the midline, in line with the apex of both ears. Place both thumbs on the ear tips and bring the middle fingers up until they meet at the top of the head; that meeting point is Bai Hui. Massage kindly with a fingertip for about five minutes before sleep, or use all five fingers to circle gently around the crown. This Governing Vessel point is often used when restless sleep sits with a busy mind. Stop if pressure turns sharp or dizziness appears.
