We constantly experience certain emotions, and this is quite normal. But what to do if experiences “roll” at the wrong time? For example, if before an interview we experience paralyzing excitement, and in the midst of a family holiday, a bright outburst of anger suddenly happens to us. We offer a set of simple exercises that you can perform unnoticed by others and quickly cope with experiences.
In oriental medicine there is a concept of reflex zones, including such zones on the hand. Each finger is responsible for an organ and emotion, which means that by acting on the fingers, you can quickly balance the experience.
To quickly deal with an emotion that is interfering at the moment, you need to grab the finger that is responsible for it and hold it for a minute. To do this, sit comfortably, take a few calm breaths in and out, direct your attention to the selected finger and grab it with your other hand. This can be done discreetly – even at a meeting or in a company, if there is a need to restore emotional balance.
So, what emotions are our fingers responsible for?
Thumb – anxiety
In Eastern medicine, the area of the thumb is associated with the stomach and spleen, the digestive organs, which in turn are responsible for anxiety.
If a person is very preoccupied, constantly scrolls an obsessive thought in his head, cannot fall asleep because of it, you can suspect that he has digestive problems, and in the long term there is a reason to check the stomach. And for emergency help, grab your thumb and hold it for a minute.
Index finger – fear
The index finger is associated with the kidneys, and the “pathological emotion” of the kidneys is fear. If it arises from scratch, a person is prone to chronic anxiety and he has unfounded fears for any reason, this is one of the signals that the kidneys are out of balance. It is advisable to conduct an examination and find out what the problem is, since the kidneys may not report any pathological processes for a long time with any symptoms.
To quickly restore emotional balance during an attack of fear, act in the manner described above on the index finger, and in a minute you will feel how the intensity of fear decreases.
Middle finger – fury
That ugly gesture that people show in rage has a completely rational explanation in Chinese medicine. The middle finger is a reflex zone responsible for the health of the liver and gallbladder. The emotion of these organs is rage.
The liver, like the kidneys, may not give signals of problems, therefore, regularly occurring groundless anger is a symptom that requires attention and examination. And the impact on the middle finger will help to calm the rage that has rolled up even with a high internal intensity of passions.
Ring finger – sadness
This finger is associated with the health of the lungs and colon. And the lungs, in turn, are an organ, with an imbalance of which chronic depressive conditions develop.
Regularly occurring sadness informs a Chinese medicine specialist that a person has impaired breathing. And it’s not just about inflammatory diseases (bronchitis, pneumonia) or asthma, but also about relatively subtle deviations in respiratory activity. For example, in violation of posture – stoop – in a person only the upper segments of the lungs breathe, and the lower segments are inactive. This is enough for the problem to signal itself with regular bouts of sadness.
To cope with the problem, you need to master the gymnastics for the spine, which restores the correct posture, for example, qigong for the spine Sing Shen Juang. Various breathing practices may be helpful. And for emergency help with bouts of sadness – an enveloping effect on the ring finger.
Mizinets – self-control
The little finger is associated with the health of the heart and small intestine – as well as our self-control, calmness. With an imbalance, we get a feeling of being lost, twitchy, there is no way to “get together”. If you are faced with the task of regaining your composure – for example, before a responsible speech or interview – hold your little finger for a minute, and you will feel more stable and whole.
Harmonizing massage
If you want to harmonize the overall emotional background, go through all the fingers from the thumb to the little finger, clasping them and holding them for a minute, and then gently and confidently press on the point in the center of the palm – it balances and “centers” the emotional background.
