Exercise 1. Embrace Fingers

We listen to a didactic radio capsule.

Summary:

When you feel a strong emotion, embrace your finger with the other hand and hold it for 2-5 minutes until the level of emotion drops. For each finger there is a connection of energy that corresponds to an emotion as shown in the following way:

Thumb: is for tears, pain and emotional pain. Holding fingers does not prevent tears or pain, but allows the energy to move until the person calms down. Grab your thumb, breathe deeply and exhale the pain and sorrow you feel. Hold your finger until you feel a pulse of energy.

Index: it is for fear, it is important to listen to the fear as one would hear a guide. Fear can tell us many things about your environment, our physical well-being and our growth. It is what we do with fear that is important. If you are afraid, instead of paralysing, grab your index finger to make a wise decision in the situation - run away, stay or react. With traumatic stress a person can continuously panic in their body-spirit. Using the index finger is a good way to learn how to work with fear, rather than being a victim of fear. As you hold your index finger, exhale and let go of fear, and inhale courage and strength to be.

Medium: is for anger and rage. Anger is a natural and normal emotion in many situations. Fury can result in violence toward others or toward ourselves. Suppressed anger or denial of our own depths of fury can result in passive-aggressive behavior or many physical symptoms in the body that include arthritis, ulcers, migraines, and knots in the muscles of various parts of the body. Hold your middle finger, exhale and let go of all the fury and anger, inhale energy and creative passion in your being.

Override: is for anxiety and nervousness. As many people unconsciously play with their ringtones when they are afflicted and annoyed by the constant mental noise. Annulment helps to discharge unnecessary distress and anxiety, saving energy for action. Take a deep breath and grab your ring. Exhale, letting go of all the worries and anxiety. Inhale with a deep sense of peace and security amid the problems of life, knowing that you are spiritually backed and cared for

Little finger: it is for self-esteem when one feels victimized by circumstances. Holding the little finger is a way to control feelings of unworthiness and low self-esteem. To stop feeling like a victim, it is important to first recognize what you get when you feel that way - attention, hurt, the concern of others. Placing yourself in a state of power and self-esteem gives you many rewards and a true sense of appreciation in the eyes of others. Hold your little finger, breathe deeply, exhale and let go of insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

   Repeat the sequence presented in points 2 and 3:
   Repeat this sequence until your anxiety level has dropped to 0-2
   Give a gentle massage on the "sore spot" that lies on the left side of the chest, about 5cm below the left side of the clavicle and 4 or 5cm next to the sternum.
