Simple Feldenkrais Exercise for quieting mind and relaxing the body

If you find you are plagued by anxiety, try this simple movement: With either hand, gently bring all your fingertips together to touch your thumb, and release, several times, as if your hand was pulsing open and returning to join your fingers. The hand doesn't open any more than creating the shape of a bell, then comes together again. This movement sends a kind of neural "all's well" signal to the brain. It's impossible to continue this movement if you tense up, and at the same time, as you do it, it quiets the mind and relaxes the body.
