Body Organs in Hands and Feet
- The thumb corresponds to the neck and head.
- The second and fifth fingers correspond to the upper limbs.
- The third and fourth fingers – to the lower limbs.
- The knuckles correspond exactly to the joints of the limbs.
- The palm, the foot and their backs – to the torso.
The SuJok therapy has entirely been created on the basis of the correspondence systems located on the hands and feet. It consists of two levels or dimensions. The first level/dimension is based on Physical healing method and is easy to use by people and includes several healing correspondence systems of the 12 main meridians, the 8 extra meridians, and their attendant points are represented on the hands and feet.They are known as Byol meridians and Byol points.
The feet takes more pressure everyday than the hands. Therefore the healing impulses created by the pain SuJok points located on the feet are more effective.
The second high level/dimension of SuJok is based on metaphysical healing method. It is more complicated, and to learn, more careful preparation is needed.
