Our body’s thermostat “knobs” are found at and just below the head of the fibula just around the “corner” created by the hamstring tendon when the knee is bent. Gently lay the fingertips onto the calf just below these “corners,” on the left to lower the body’s temperature and on the right to raise the temperature. Connect both at the same time to let your body’s wisdom balance the temperature. This is most easily done on yourself when seated.
