Question: You mentioned that our body is divided into three parts and corresponds to the phalanges of the fingers. You also wrote that the index fingers represent the front of the body, the pinky is the back, and I assume the middle and ring fingers represent the sides. Can this be used to address any issues in the body?
I don’t engage in any healing practices. I’m completely against even the thought of that crossing your mind. If you’re experiencing any problems with your body, it’s long overdue for you to see a doctor – that’s what I can tell you.
If you’re looking to train your focus, concentration, or awareness, which, as a writer, is especially important to me when I have to sit focused for five or ten hours at a time, then yes, this technique can be used for training purposes – to help notice where your attention is concentrated when pressing certain fingers. I did this for several hours recently while lying on my back in bed. Here’s what I observed and further tested: The front phalanges, the fingertips of four fingers, represent the head. When I press my thumb against the tip of the index finger, it activates the front part of the head. Pressing on the tip of the second (middle) finger focuses attention on the sides or, more generally, the outer part of the upper head. When pressing the tip of the ring finger, it feels like I’m going inward, diving into a deeper space. The pinky, as mentioned, relates to the back of the head, the occipital area. If you’re looking to focus on internal organs or central points within your body, that corresponds to the ring finger. When I press the first phalange of the ring finger, I go deeper into the upper world (the head). Pressing the middle phalange brings attention to the chest, deep into the center. Pressing the lower phalange moves attention toward the lower body, between the legs. This is what I’ve noticed so far. I’ll keep practicing and testing it. As of now, I haven’t noticed any difference whether I use one hand or two. It seems to have the same effect. I’ve also found that when I press these phalanges with my right thumb on my left hand’s fingers, it even feels slightly stronger in effect.
I’ve always wrote that if necessary, I’ll decode everything. But I can’t afford to get distracted by topics that aren’t currently relevant to my work. If it turns out that in the future I need to know more about where to press on the toes, or if pressing something else activates something, and if I’m shown that this is necessary for me, then I’ll study, decode, and describe it in a book. For now, I’m moving forward.
