You can quickly relax your mind in 5 minutes by using a Japanese method of finger holding, as shown in the video reference. This technique helps to calm the mind and reduce stress.

The Japanese Finger Holding Method for Relaxation

This method, inspired by the video, focuses on holding each finger to promote relaxation. Here's how it works:

  1. Preparation: Hold the thumb of one hand with all the fingers and the thumb of your other hand.
  2. Hold: Hold this finger for about 1 to 2 minutes . You will know when it's working when you feel a pulsating sensation.
  3. Repeat: Repeat the process for each finger, and then move on to the other hand.

How This Method Works

  • Each finger is believed to correspond to different emotions and aspects of your well-being. By holding each finger, you can help to balance these energies.
  • The slight pressure and focused attention on each finger can help shift your mind away from racing thoughts, leading to a more relaxed state.
  • The pulsating sensation you may feel is an indication that the energy flow is improving, which can lead to a feeling of calmness.
