This is brilliant! And since each finger & thumb can have one or sometimes two meridians terminating at the tip -- you are also stretching these other meridians at the same time. Thumb-LU, Index-LI, Middle-PE/AP, Ring-TH, Little-HE/SI. Correct me if I've missed one or more of these... smilies/smiley.gif

Yes, that's a great point. As you resist with each finger tip, you will also be stretching the other meridians. I think the AP might be the index finger...

This stretch was named The Thumper by my friend/client Lavanna, back in Austin, TX. We would do this stretch in class and let go of our finger at the top of the range which cause our finger to hit the ground causing a thump. Everyone in class would do it and it would sound like we were making music!

yes. this is identical to EFT(emotional freedom techniques) hand meridians - same effect. It may be a good one to do at the end of the session to balance everything.

i prefer the cupcake for just targeting appendix.
