Fight worry, depression, impatience, anger, fear and other emotions

Fight worry, depression, impatience, anger, fear and other emotions

I don't know if this can be called a Mudra as it is a Qi Gong exercise that I learnt a long time ago. The effects and technique are certainly similar. This Mudra can be done anywhere as there is no preparation needed and it can be done discreetly.

Your fingers corresponds to the five elements but they also correspond to emotions and the major organs. On the outside and inside (not top and bottom!) of your fingers run the meridians and there are several acupuncture points.

By pressing or squeezing the sides of the fingers, according to your needs, you can affect both the emotion and the corresponding organ. This is how the fingers work:

The thumb represents the element earth, the stomach and worry.

The index finger represents the element metal, the lungs, the large intestine and the emotions depression, sadness and grief.

The middle finger is the element fire, the heart, small intestine, circulatory and respiratory systems, the emotions are impatience and hastiness.

The ring finger is the element wood and is connected to the liver, gall bladder, nervous system and corresponds toanger.

The little finger corresponds to water, the kidneys andfear.

So if you are overwhelmed by an emotion, just squeeze the corresponding finger a few times and you will feel better. It works!
