In today’s fast-paced world, when we look for quick and effective solutions to our health problems, a Japanese technique comes into play that offers help right at your fingertips — literally. This method, which focuses on using the fingers as key points to balance the body’s energy, can help you alleviate various pains and discomforts you are experiencing. And what’s best? It only takes a few minutes a day.
How does it work?
The essence of this technique is that each finger on the hand is connected to a specific organ and emotional state. By massaging a particular finger you can reduce the physical and psychological symptoms associated with it. The process is simple: grasp the tip of a finger on your right hand and press it firmly for 3–5 minutes. At the same time focus on deep, slow breathing while gently massaging the finger with your other hand. During this exercise you can also imagine negative emotions and health problems that trouble you being released from your body.
