CALMING  HANDS  EXERCISE 

[This  takes 10  minutes - only 10 minutes.] 

Sitting down - take your right hand ….

Hold it up and out and rub it

calmly with your left hand.

Feel your left thumb and fingers massaging

your right hand - thumb - and fingers - front

and back and each part  front and back.

Bending, rubbing, massaging …

Now do the same with your right hand

and fingers to your left hand.

Now after five minutes - doing both hands -

bring the palms of both hands together

in the classic form of praying hands.

With eyes closed feel the skin of both

hands touching - palm to palm - finger tips

to finger tips - calm - peace -  those palms.

[Do this  for 10 minutes - only 10 minutes.]
