Life Palace (Ming Gong)

    The point between the brows, seat of will and fortune

    Location
    Between the eyebrows (yin tang)

    Meaning

    Located between the eyebrows, the Life Palace is read as the gateway of one's vital Qi. Traditional readers looked here first, because it is said to show the state of the whole face in miniature: hope, outlook and the willingness to meet life.

    When It Is Strong

    A smooth, open, softly luminous space between the brows is read as an open heart and a mind that does not hold grudges.

    When It Is Weak

    Deep vertical lines or a pinched space are read as worry carried for too long; the teaching is to release, not to fear.

    Practice

    Each morning relax the brow consciously for three breaths. Readers say the palace opens as the habit of frowning softens.
