The three lanes of the nape — Medulla, Mesencephalon, Dorsal
One counted thumb-glide, told apart by thumb placement alone
Three treatments open the seated group, and they are the same movement three times over: a counted thumb-glide downward at the back of the neck, the two thumbs alternating. What separates them is where the thumbs are, and nothing else — behind the ears for Medulla, in the soft gutters beside the bone for Mesencephalon, on the beads of the spine themselves for Dorsal. (Figure 18.2)

Mesencephalon — मेसेन्सेफ्लान
This is given to rouse the part of the brain called the mesencephalon.
In the soft place between the back of the neck and the spine, exactly as in the Medulla treatment, rub with both thumbs, alternately, counting. Rub with each thumb as many times as the number written.

What lies beneath. The mesencephalon is the topmost segment of the brain stem, and like the medulla it is inside the skull and out of reach. But the name is better chosen than it looks: that segment holds the body's own pain-suppressing switchboard — the system that can turn a pain signal down before it reaches the place where pain is felt. Under the gutter thumbs lie the long straps running from the back of the skull down the neck, and beneath them the small joints of the neck bones with their nerves; a steady input there is exactly the kind that recruits that descending system. The point does not touch the midbrain. It plausibly speaks to it.
