Do – in (self shiatsu!)
A fantastic self-treatment to release the tension at the end of the day, or to energise yourself in the morning!
Standing up, feet hips width apart, knees unlocked
- “Rain drops” over the top of your head , with your fingertips, keeping your wrists loose. Move your head around so your whole head gets a massage.
- Forward neck stretch : Tilt head forward and interlace your hands behind your occiput. Use the weight of your hands to get more of a stretch.
- Side neck stretch : still looking ahead, tilt your head to the right side, and place your right hand over your head. Use the weight of your hand to get more of a stretch, whilst reaching away with your left hand. Same other side.
- Shoulder massage : tilt your head to the right, and apply loose fists / karate chops on top of left shoulder.
- Loose fists down the inside of arms, and up the outside , to encourage the flow of energy in the 3 yin (inner) arm meridians and the 3 yang (outer) arm meridians. A couple of times on each arm.
- Shake out your arms and sigh loudly!
- Loose fists on chest and around ribcage
- Gentle loose fists down muscles of lower back
- Rub sacrum with knuckles , moving your body up and down.
- Fists on buttocks (can take a lot of pressure!)
- Fists down outer sides of legs and up inside of the legs , to encourage flow of energy in the 3 yang (outer) leg meridians and 3 yin (inner) leg meridians.
- Shake out legs and arms !
