The technique developed by the NGO Mãos Sem Fronteiras can boost your performance with just five minutes a day
by Letícia Gerola
It sounds like a miracle, but it isn't. According to the founder of the global NGO “Mãos Sem Fronteiras”, it is in simplicity that wisdom lies, and it was with this in mind that the institution developed Neural Stimulation, a treatment of just five minutes a day, time needed to restore physical health and mental.
Neural Stimulation consists of consciously touching the hands at specific points on the body, causing the three pillars of the body – nervous, immune and blood systems – are strengthened and function properly. The physical benefit brings more well-being to the patient, improving his emotional as well.
It's scientific: in a survey carried out at the Hospital de Clinicas, in Curitiba, in 100% of the cases of people assisted by members of the NGO there were positive reactions to the treatment. The main causes of demand were anxiety, pain in general, depression, stress, diabetes and smoking. It is worth remembering that Neural Stimulation is a complementary therapy and not a substitute for traditional medicine.
The institution offers free treatments every Monday from 9 am to 6 pm and courses to learn the practice. The NGO's headquarters are in Curitiba, Paraná, where regular courses are held. There are three levels for complete learning, and at the first level, the member is already authorized to apply the technique to himself.
