Reply To: the tip of the right index finger

[Babbie Stern]

Hi, Judy.

I’m sorry to hear about your daughter and hope she heals quickly.

The index finger correlates with the Large Intestine meridian, which is coupled with with Lung and is the element of Metal. The emotion associated with the element is grief. Heiner Freuhauf says that there is a very important place both in our bodies and in our world for the “asshole”; it’s the part that is responsible for clearing away, or cutting (as with a metal sword) what does not belong and allows us to set strong boundaries.
