Japanese Healing Technique

 

Japanese healing technique can reduce our stress levels tremendously by using the power of our hands. Stress is something that we have to face in our life. We have to control it. Unfortunately, many of us have a hard time doing so. Many healing systems around the world believe that the energy within our body has the ability to heal us. So, this Japanese technique uses specific acupressure points throughout our hands. To lower these stress levels lowering cortisol adrenaline allows our body to work at ease. The Japanese believed that each finger is connected to an emotion.

So let's have a look at the hand in the picture below

 

The thumb helps fend off emotions like worry and anxiety, the index finger helps us fight our fears, the middle finger helps control feelings of rage and bitterness, the ring finger aids in fighting depression, and the pinky helps relieve stress and boosts our optimism and self-esteem.

 

So they help to balance out the opposing energy forces in our body by grasping one finger at a time with our opposite hand and squeezing on that finger.

 

How long should you hold a finger?

 

First starting with the thumb, hold it nicely as you start to feel a pulse, after about a minute or so, and then release it. Then go to the next finger, squeeze it nicely as you start to feel a pulse within about 30 seconds to a minute at that point release the finger and continue on with each finger as you feel the pulse you release it until you complete all the fingers. Then immediately after take your thumb of one hand and apply pressure in the center part of your hand and hold it there for a minute or so you can hold it a little longer, you'll notice your body continually starting to wind down and if needed you can do this same with your other hand. This will stimulate meridians within your body to allow you to feel those effects.
