Getting Started:
This tool requires a shift in mindset from beginners. You're not just tapping—you're learning to listen. Hold the wooden handle comfortably and approach each point with intention and patience.

Finding and Testing Points:
Use the thin detector end to locate specific reflex points on the face. Press gently with consistent pressure for 10-30 seconds. Feel for tenderness, tension, or resistance—this tells you where the body needs work.

Testing Between Points:
After activating a point, release and test again. Has the tenderness decreased? Has the sensation changed? This feedback loop is where diagnosis happens. You're reading the body's responses in real time.

Choosing Your End:

• Metal end (stainless steel): More stimulating, yang-based, good for activation and bringing energy to stagnant areas
• Horn end: More soothing, yin-based, good for sensitive areas or when you need a gentler approach

Switch between ends based on what the point is telling you. Trust your intuition.

Activation and Release:
When you find a tender point, hold pressure for 10-30 seconds. You may feel the tenderness ease or the point "release" under your finger—this is the energetic shift happening. Breathe. Let the body do its work.

Reading Reflex Maps:
Refer to detailed facial reflex maps to understand which organs and systems each point connects to. The Smooth Sphere is precise enough to work individual zones with surgical accuracy.

Building Your Diagnostic Skills:
Over time, you'll develop the ability to detect subtle shifts in tissue quality, tenderness patterns, and energy flow. This is the art of Dien Chan. Each session teaches you something new about how the body communicates.

Pro Tip:
Use the Smooth Sphere when you're not in a rush. This tool rewards patience and attention. Five minutes of skilled work with the 101 is worth fifteen minutes of general tapping with other tools.
