I wish I have done my writing sooner to see my mistake, specially knowing dyslexia is a part of me, I was practicing with the right thumb up, I read somewhere that it can be practiced with right or left, but the left thumb up is the traditional way. As soon as I corroborate form a reliable source the flexibility of this fact I will update this post.
