To perform the technique of rubbing your index finger, follow these simple steps:
- Find a comfortable and quiet place where you can relax without any distractions.
- Sit in a relaxed position and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
- Take your right hand and hold it in front of you, palm facing up.
- Use the fingers of your left hand to gently hold and support your right index finger.
- Start rubbing your right index finger in a circular motion using your thumb or the pads of your fingers.
- Apply a moderate amount of pressure, enough to feel the sensation but not too much to cause discomfort.
- Continue rubbing for about 60 seconds, focusing on the entire length of the finger, from the base to the tip.
- Repeat the same process with your left index finger.
Stimulating Acupressure Points
As you rub your index finger, you are also stimulating specific acupressure points located on this finger. Acupressure is an ancient healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to promote balance and well-being.
One important acupressure point on the index finger is known as LI4 or Hegu. It is located in the fleshy webbing between the thumb and index finger. Rubbing the index finger can help activate this point, which is believed to have numerous health benefits.
