A simple self help hold which helps the eyes is to grab the middle finger. The middle finger also relates to the gallbladder, the liver and the emotion of anger. When you feel angry, I say: ‘Don’t SHOW the finger, HOLD the finger!’
Reading, or working constantly on computers overloads the eyes and tires them. Sit or lie comfortably and hold your middle finger (either side will do) – put on some music if you like – and just let yourself relax.
Holding the middle finger is really helpful to regulate high or low blood pressure. I have said this in other posts but it is such a simple and effective way to help the blood function, that I mention it again here as a reminder!
Oh and if your eyes are giving you problems, especially if you have blue or green eyes, make sure you consume good old fashioned FENNEL, as it strengthens the eyes. You can have it in powder capsules, chew on the seeds, have tea or eat the fresh bulb. Fennel is also great at cleaning out the large intestine and gives you clean breath….It’s an all around winner, and very strengthening for your whole system!
So as a summary again, holding the middle finger helps:
- regulate blood pressure (high or low)
- general fatigue
- eyes, vision
- irritability
- balance emotions
- liver and gallbladder energy
- when have to READ a lot/ or do computer work
