Lo que dice la ciencia
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Use your dominant hand first, then switch to the non-dominant hand to balance brain activity.
- Trace slowly and smoothly—focus on the motion, not perfection.
- Pair with deep breaths for added relaxation (inhale for half the ∞, exhale for the other half).

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I started tracing figure eights during panic attacks. The rhythmic motion gave my mind something to anchor to. Now I do it daily—it’s like a mental 'reset button.' My therapist says it works because it forces both sides of my brain to sync up.
