Thjs Pojnr is the terminal Point ofthe ftiple heater meridian and, therefor€, representsthat outermosr aspectsof the fire

This is th€ m€ral poinr on the pllbladder meddian. The metal element controls the wood element actoss the ke cycle. The
rcsolution ofanger (4virtue of the wood element) is often foudd in one's abi[ry to let go (a virtue empowered by rnetal).
The g'allbladderis a yang official. As such, the qualities of metal come to it extemall).. Here, th€ piesence of metal may be
Iikened to pruning a plant-one aspecrofgood ptumog is to eliminate that which is not essentialso that growrh may proc€€d
in a focusedmanner. Like all points, GB-44 harmonizes a continuum of unbalancedexpression. One's quality of growth
may €mulnt€ a tr€€ that sends out branches in many dircctions, yet never grows tall. Hete, GB-44 may prune arvay
unnecessarygrowth so that one can bettet focus on a specjfic goal, as opposed to many (the unpruned branches). Also,
rvhen the gallbladderis out ofbalance one may f€€l rhat every time one jnitiates an action one is "cul down," Hence, ftis
point may also addressthe timidity and feat that prevents a pe6on from taking ^ction. In this sense,GB-44 inhibits the
control ofmetal upon wood's inclination to gtow. -LJ
