Understanding the Basics

Before starting your journey into the world of pulsing wrists, let’s brush up some fundamental terminologies.

Pulse: The rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries as blood flows through them.

Arteries: Blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from heart organs throughout the body.

Radial Artery: An artery that runs along the thumb side of the forearm and is often used for taking pulses.

Now that we’re all experts let’s move forward with our quest!

Step 1 – Finding The Spot

First thing first – Find your spot by locating your friend’s wrist (you have got one around or else ask yourself why are you reading this). Position two fingers just below their thumb parallelly while keeping their palm facing upwards. Congratulations! You’ve nailed step one!

It may take a few attempts because sometimes ‘finding an artery in life’ can be hard too 😉

Step 2 – Put Some Pressure

Put appropriate pressure onto those two fingers until able to feel something thumping underneath(that feels much better than waiting for Tinder notification)…
