The neck is the bridge between head and shoulder. This page orders the landmarks that already live on the symptom map, to send when class reaches the nape.
Three anchor points
GB20 (Fengchi) below the occiput, between the nape muscles. BL10 on the bladder line, lateral to the upper cervical spine. GB21 on the upper border of trapezius, toward the shoulder: studied as location, not as improvised class pressure.
The family that crosses the neck
Window of heaven groups neck and skull-base points in classical study texts. It is not a recipe for tension. It is a list so you do not lose SI16, LI18 and their neighbours when you leave GB20.
Order of one study session
Open the neck symptom map, locate GB20 in 3D, move to BL10, and close on the window-of-heaven family. One region, three sheets.

Questions
- Does this help a real neck pain?
- No. It is a landmark map for class. A neck that hurts is assessed outside this atlas.
- Is GB21 pressed in the first week?
- On Meridiania it is located. Pressure, depth and shoulder cautions belong to in-person school.
