Hello Beautiful Person! Welcome back to healing your grief two minutes at a time. Today I want to talk to you about something I find fascinating. We are going to help heal our emotions by holding our fingers. Each of our organs is associated with a different digit on our body and grief resides in our lungs and large intestines. Perhaps right now you may find that you are experiencing more respiratory issues or asthma or having issues with your large intestines. That is all completely normal. It is our emotions that make us sick and if we can start to heal the emotions, it will begin to help our physical bodies feel better. So today I will give you a little tip that will take two minutes and I hope you find it to be really helpful. So, grief and sadness, as we said, reside in our lungs and large intestines which is associated with our ring finger. Sometimes we can be married to that pain and to that sadness and it is really hard. So I’d like for you to wrap your fingers around your ring finger and either hold it for two breaths or hold it until you can feel the pulse return back into that finger or until you find yourself soothed and relaxed and maybe naturally exhale. That’s one of the things that when we are grieving, we tend to feel tight and heavy and we have a really hard time breathing in our lungs because it is so filled with grief. Hopefully this exercise will help you catch a better breath. So that is the quick version of just holding our ring finger. Should you like to do an extended version of this exercise begin with your thumb and then you will do the next four fingers leading up to the ring finger. So hold your thumb and then move onto your index finger, then to your middle finger, and then end on your ring finger.
Each of those fingers all represent a different emotion and as we know when we are grieving we are filled with all sorts of emotions so a quick way to know the five emotions is Get rid or WORRY F-A-S-T, fast! Get rid of your worry fast! Thumb is worry “F” is your pointer finger which is fear. “Hey! Look that guy just went that way!” It’s not a coincidence that we use our pointer finger to point out things when we are afraid and full of fear. Anger is our middle finger. Again, not a coincidence. Our ring finger is grief and sadness and our little finger feels very insecure compared to all of its taller family members. He is trying to prove himself and is crying on the inside and laughing on the outside but feels like he needs to prove himself. So we hold that finger when we are feeling that way too. The palm of our hand just provides an overall sense of peace. So if you are feeling any of those emotions just do the same thing, wrap your fingers around it and hold it until you feel soothed.
I can not wait to hear how this way for you. Please leave your comments down below. Please subscribe to my channel so you are alerted when my video is uploaded next Thursday and I hope you have a great week.
