We use fingers and toes all the time and they’re easy to take for granted. Until you stub one. Mindfulness of them enhances fitness, happiness, and presence – even without anatomy or Nia principles.
Toes tend to tighten. Relaxed toes relax the whole body.
4 Mindful uses of fingers offer big benefits:
1. Use them – Stretching, shaking, squeezing, flicking fingers strengthens hands and engages the body.
2. Relax them – Like toes, relaxed fingers help the body relax.
3. Break habit – Use non-dominant fingers. Wear rings differently. Burn new neural pathways!
4. Be expressive – Using fingers to express emotion is intimate…and healing.
