How to find
First, locate the anterior midline at the level of the anterior hairline as well as GV 20 (Hundred Meetings) (5 cun superior to the anterior hairline, on the vertex, at the junction of the midline with a line connecting the apices of the ears). Next, determine the midpoint between those two reference points (2.5 cun superior to the anterior hairline). From this point, measure 1.5 cun laterally (or one third of the distance between GV 24 (Courtyard of the Spirit) and ST 08 (Head’s Binding)) to locate BL-06.Located on the same level (2.5 cun superior to the anterior hairline), but more laterally (pupil line), is GB 17 (Upright Nutrition/Fright and Fear).
