Reflexologists say that stimulating your hands -- just like your feet -- helps clear tension and congestion from the corresponding organ. Your head, brain, and sinuses correspond to your finger tips, your digestive organs to the palms, and so on. A quick way to enliven yourself is to scratch them -- your hands, not your organs.

Lightly and briskly, scratch your fingernails back and forth across your whole palm, and then move up and down your fingers. Don't forget your thumb. Next scratch the backs of your hands, running from the fingertips to your wrists if you want to keep your energy within, from your wrists to your fingertips if there's energy you want to release. Be sure to switch hands. You'll feel the stimulation linger.
