Sun Si Miao's Ghosts

When Healing Goes Beyond the Physical

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healing isn’t only about the body — it’s also about the spirit. More than a thousand years ago, the great physician Sun Si-Miao spoke of something called the 13 Ghost Points — not to chase real ghosts, but to heal the invisible ones that live within us: fear, grief, obsession, confusion, and the loss of one’s inner light.

These points are a timeless reminder that sometimes what haunts us is not outside, but inside — and that healing begins with returning home to ourselves.

The Story Behind the Ghost Points

In ancient Chinese medicine, the word “ghost” was a poetic way to describe being overtaken by emotion — when stress, trauma, or sorrow cloud the mind and dull the spirit.

Sun Si-Miao organized 13 acupuncture points into a path of healing that clears confusion, releases emotional weight, and restores peace of mind.

DU26	Ghost Palace	revives awareness and clears the fog of confusion
LU11	Ghost Faith	opens the voice of truth, releasing anger and grief
SP1	Ghost Fortress	grounds scattered thoughts and restores safety

How They’re Used Today

Modern acupuncturists use the Ghost Points gently, often choosing just two or three in a session. They’re known to help release emotional stress, trauma, anxiety, burnout, and a feeling of being ‘stuck.’ Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing — sometimes emotional, sometimes profoundly quiet.

Each treatment is a small invitation to come home to yourself again.

Though their names sound mystical, the 13 Ghost Points speak to something very real:

We all carry invisible burdens.

Through mindful healing — whether with acupuncture, breath, or rest — we can clear the fog, calm the heart, and rediscover the peace that was never truly lost.
