Thinking of the hands as related to trauma is helpful.
I'm cradling a hot cup of coffee right now! It would be quite traumatic if someone took that coffee away. Thank you for the wonderful information, as always Gary.
So excited you've spoken to hands and feet. As a foot specialist, I know just how ignored but problematic feet can be.
Imagine putting mittens on your newborn until they're adults - we can imagine the deprivation in sensing this would be, and yet, no thinks twice about putting a baby into socks and shoes.
With 7600 nerve endings in the bottom of our feet, our entire alignment reliant upon the angle the foot and calves, and the poor shoes that fashion forces upon the public, this part of the body is overlooked when seeking health. It iis literally the foundation, designed to read the ground and signal accordingly and yet forgotten.
Yes! I watched a interview with the CEO of Viva Barefoot shoes [which I wear when I am not in fact barefoot most of the time]. He told a similiar story and even coin a phrase the Big Shoe Industry. They are working on making soles with eletrical conductivity to help ground to the earth.
Also anything that allows the toes to spread more and connect with the surfaces of the earth. I love walking on uneven surfaces - natural earth and wearing Vibram fivefingers shoes.
I particularly explore the feet with toe spreaders and Vibram fivefingers that allow one to use the toes more in walking. I agree it is so essential to connect with the earth and feel our feet more.
Bankers are able to identify fake money because of the way the counterfeit bill feels on their fingertips.
How do they do this? Do we have a special nerve to detect counterfeit bill?
The answer is that the various nerve signals are analyzed by a complex web of nerves that act like a computer. It was originally assumed that this computing was done in the brain. Recent research has shown that this computing is done in our fingertips. The nerves in our fingers analyse the input, and send the results to the brain.
I read up once about all the different types of sensors in our finger types [corpuscles?] and just how small the variations they can detect, so this makes sense to me.
Gary, i am so excited about this article - prob for different reasons than your other folks.
YOU take an inordinate amount of time and effort to "prove" everything i take for granted- which i can't imagine doing - yet i deeply respect.
i've always kept my feet and hands stunningly alive - as a lifelong yogini and bodyworker, i can't imagine NOT doing that! i taught all my people to do that as well. So in a sense, your "revelations" are an awesome peek into how to start this conversation right!
Thank you for keeping on...
(i consider the intense subtlety of my manual therapy training and experience over a lifetime to be crucial to my perceptual capacity and brain power)
When I was looking into vides to play for the residents at the housing authority I work at, I came across some on simple hand exercises to promote healthy brain activity.
This is very much in line with that. Helpful information - thank you.
Here is another excersise and feature of the hands I neglected to include in the article:
Here is an interesting simple, quick and pragmatic approach to balancing the left and right sides of the brain through self-holding and tapping methods.
What was a bit of an "ah ha" moment for me in this one is that the speaker makes the point that our hands are fingers are also electrical field generators - but of course they are!!! All those concentrated nerve endings that are in the hands and finger tips. So putting them to head or face will induce electrical activity in the brain and cranial nerves too, not just the physical effect of tapping...

Roman, i linked you in my article yesterday, hope it brings you new peeps

you said it!

Yes, I have seen those. I do fascia decompression exercises of using fingers to put pressure on the gaps between the toes and fingers.
yes love that too
Knitting! Crochet! Spinning yarn!
Yes!
We have "brains" in our fingers.

Interesting. Find the right training stimulus and you can change many things for the better.

you leave no stone unturned my friend
Wow. Thank you. This is excellent. And so quick! (My favorite.)
Very informative, as usual.
