Paired elemental points for meridian balancing
Understanding and experiencing sedating and strengthening points
This picture doesn't show paired elemental points at all, but it shows me, your teacher Anna Ritamäki-Sjöstrand, realigning a client's electromagnetic presence on Earth spinning over beginning and end points. (If you are curious about the actual process illustrated you can look it up in Donna Eden's book Energy Medicine, the section on the Vivaxis.)
Actually, most of the beginning and end points, being Metal and Wood points, are part of the Paired Elemental Points system, but not all of them are. You'll learn why in the workshops.
Knowing and practicing the holding of sedating and strengthening points gives us the power to influence our meridians in a systematic and profound way.
A 3-part workshop series over Zoom starting on the 30th of June 2026 at 7 p.m. Finnish time (EEST).
(9 AM Pacific • 5 PM UK)
The second and third sessions will be decided to fit most students' schedules. Recordings will be made available.
You might have read about the points in Donna Eden's questions and answers (like her advice to sedate Liver meridian if you tend to wake up between 1 and 3 a.m.) and wondered what they are. Or you might have studied the charts and instructions in her book Energy Medicine or come across them in other modalities like Touch for Health or other offshoots of Applied Kinesiology (if you have studied Chinese Medicine you know of the points and their categories, but have likely not learnt to combine them in this way).
Experience actually holding the acupressure points together, be guided on location, how to hold the points on yourself with (relative) comfort, how firmly to hold and for how long. And experience the shift in the energetic health of your meridian and share what you felt (or didn't feel) with others.
Understand the choice of points based on pushing, pulling and containing flow between the Five Elements.
Simplify finding the points by learning all 10 elemental junction points (every hold pairs a junction point on the assisting element with a point on the targeted meridian).
The course will consist of three 90 minute live workshops over Zoom:
The 10 junction points on Yin meridians and balancing Kidney meridian
The 10 Yang junction points and balancing Stomach meridian
Revision and the special cases Heart and Triple Warmer meridians
I have chosen to focus on Kidney as an example of the Yin meridians and Stomach for the Yang meridians for several reasons.
The paired points for balancing Kidney and Stomach are great illustrations of the elemental and anatomical correspondences and how the system differs between Yin and Yang meridians.
A full balancing of Kidney and Stomach (first sedating and then strengthening the meridian) is beneficial for everyone. So you don't need to know how to test the state of your meridians to be sure to benefit energetically (of course self-testing is a superpower, so I do recommend joining the self-testing workshops).
Every session will present how the points connect within the Five Elements, so the whole picture can come to life step by step.
Price for the 3-part Paired elemental points for energy balancing: 155 euros (around 180 US dollars)
To register, please fill in this form by Sunday, the 28th the June:
Anna will respond in a personal message and, if relevant, send you information on payment options after receiving and processing your registration.
For whom is the Paired Elemental Points experience?
Whether you are new to Energy Medicine - or the special blend of techniques taught by Donna Eden - or an experienced practitioner, this might be for you.
No prior knowledge needed, just curiosity and willingness to take care of yourself with energy techniques.
The theory behind the choice of points will be easier to understand if you already know the Meridian pathways and the cycles of the Five Elements.
In every workshope we will follow the line of each meridian we work with, as well as illustrate the Flow and Control cycle connections within the Five Elements (I think, you all have seen those coloured balls, with a circle and a star connecting them). If you already know them, your understanding will deepen. If the meridians and elements are new to you, you will learn them.
I created this course with a younger version of myself in mind, someone who tends to lead with intellectual curiosity, but needs to physical experience to get it, to actually make use of the knowledge in daily life.
At some stage I already knew how to hold the meridian sedating and strengthening points, but I was no longer satisfied with just looking them up on the point charts based on my energetic needs (I already practiced self-testing meridians).
I knew the paired points had something to do with the Five Elements, moving energies within that system, but I wanted a deeper understanding. And I wanted to learn more point pairs by heart.
It was a revelation for me that there are only 10 points that repeat consistently in all the holds for all the meridians. I have chosen to call these the Junction points. The organisation of this workshop series is based on learning all the 10 Elemental Junction Points as the basis of opening up the logic of the whole system. The other tennet of this course is experiencing the full process of holding of the points together, each of us holding our own points.
Home practice between sessions is essential for benefiting fully.
This is the first time I am teaching this workshop series. I would love to have you join this exploration of shifting and understanding energies.

Want to learn ...
Self-testing energy patterns?
I am on a mission to bring the power of self-testing to energetically curious and logically minded individuals everywhere. So of course I want to offer you the experience of self-testing your energy patterns in addition to the Paired elemental points (you need to get a feel for using your own body for testing, you can grow your experience to confidently test which of your meridians need sedating or/and strengthening).
NOTE! The dates below are outdated. The basic description of the course remains relevant.
Send me a message, so we can decide a new starting date that fits you. You might be on your way to self-testing mastery SOON, if you take the initiative NOW.
I will be teaching a 2-session workshop series (60 3minutes each) on Self-testing Energy Patterns over Zoom starting on Tuesday, the 16th of June 2026 at 7 p.m. Finnish time (EEST).
(9 AM Pacific • 5 PM UK)
The second session will be decided to fit most students' schedules. Recordings will be made available.
Do you know if you are electromagnetically align with the Earth?
Whether you are centered with your body´s front and back communicating?
Do you know if your Spleen meridian is balanced or in need of support
These workshops are about giving you the basic experience quickly, to build on, to explore and refine.
In the first session we explore the principles of energy testing and experiment with testing Polarity, Crossover and Centeredness, do balancing exercises for these patterns and re-assess.
You'll have some time for experimenting at home before we meet again to review and to dive into testing meridians. We'll start with testing Spleen using the meridian's Alarm Point (balanced or not balanced, over-energy or under-energy) to learn the principles, which are the same for every meridian.
You’ll learn how to test your own:
🔋 Polarity (Do I need to spoon?)
🙅🏻♀️ Crossovers (Is left–right integration needed?)
🔃 Centeredness (Would a Hook-Up support me?)
🤗 Spleen Meridian (What does my nurturing pathway need?)
Plus: practical ways to handle unclear or inconsistent results.
If you don't know what I mean when I say "spooning" as a correction for "polarity" ... that will all be sorted in your preparation email message and during the workshops.
We will focus on the self-testing method, which is the easiest to actually feel in your body right away, the "weight method" also known as the "jug method". The principles are the same whatever method, and for most beginners this is the clearest and quickest way to get results. That means you are likely to get the first taste of being a successful tester during the first worksop, not after several months and four courses later.
The price is 55 euros (around 64 US dollars).
You do not need to test to benefit from holding paired elemental points, but it takes the use of points to an whole other level.
To register for self-testing (you can also choose the Paired elemental points in the same form, or express an interest in learning to test at a later date), please fill in this form:
NOTE! Questions below based on earlier offer. The self-testing course will still be structured the same and offered at the same price.
What if I would like the guidance to be able to energy test yourself, but I can't decide to join the Paired Elemental Points yet?
Answer: Don't worry, if you join the self-testing you'll get an offer to join the points workshops for 105 euros (making the full price for both 160 euros, compared to 155 euros if you decide on both right away).
What if I am fluent in some other energy testing method already (for example for testing which vitamins my body responds positively to)?
Answer: You d3o not need to adopt a new method (though I find it valuable to develop confidence with several methods). You can use this opportunity to learn the specific tests for each energy pattern and als3o for fine-tuning your self-testing. I will guide everyone through just the one method (the weight) but I am happy to stay on for a bit longer afterwards to guide you on how to apply the tests using the method of your choice (it is always more or less the same, but small tweaks are likely to give you better results). The other students are likely to be interested in this as well.
What if I am really want to learn to energy test my own energies, but the timing isn't right for me?
Answer: I am hoping to organise these self-testing workshops several times, so if you are interested with a different timing, just fill in the form above (or contact me by email or social media). Give me some hints on what times might work for you. I have decided that three people are enough to form a group. Self-testing is such a massive superpower so I really want to guide anyone to experience it and have the courage to continue experimenting with it, to make it part of their daily energy care.
