Learning to meditate via thumb twiddling................hmmmm interesting - might give it a go........
It’s a great work out for your mind, requiring focus, perseverance, and calmness. If your mind isn’t focused, it’s agonizingly hard to keep up twiddle rhythm. The same way it promotes strength and awareness in your thumbs, it does the same for your mind. But twiddle time must be focused to reap any benefits. I try not to think about ancestry, dinner or what’s on my to-do list, or how my day went. I simply think about twiddling my thumbs –– “simply” is easier said then done, it can be hard to sit still and focus on one thing at a time. Good thumb twiddling is –– meditative. Could be classed as “time-wasting” but good thumb twiddling can be a great use of time. When done properly, it’s helps you focus more and finish your to-do lists faster.
Materials Needed :- 1. Comfortable seat - 2. 1 left hand with thumb and 3. 1 right hand with thumb.
Instructions :- 1.Take a comfortable seat – take your time to ensure you’re comfortable and your posture is straight.
2.Hold your left hand with your right hand and interlock your fingers.
3.Take your dominant hand thumb and proceed to move it in a circular motion around your weaker hand’s thumb.
4.Take your weaker hand’s thumb and chase your dominant hand thumb in a circular motion.
5.Experiment with the two types of twiddling: contact of the thumbs and no contact of the thumbs. Choose one to work with for each twiddle session.
6.Focus.**
7.Practice, practice, practice.
5-15 minutes is a good start. When that becomes comfortable, bump up the time if your mind and thumbs desire.
Now check to see if ancestry is UP and running................... never mind
Start the thumb twiddling again.....................
