Self Healing Art

If you can't go to sleep at night or when you wake up in the night and can't go back to sleep, try gently holding your thumb with your other hand and focus on breathing in through your nose, out through your nose for longer than you breathed in. As you breathe out feel yourself relaxing. Soon you will be able to feel a pulse in your thumb. Then you can hold your other thumb. I would love to hear whether holding your thumb lets you get to sleep more easily.

  1. How interesting! I will give this thumb holding a try next time I'm feeling restless and sleepless in the middle of the night. It's got to be better than getting up at 3am to do the ironing.
    Thanks... Cherie
