Time: 5-10 mins
Resources: None
Instructions: Ask everyone to stand up. Then read the following instructions to people at a pace that seems natural and allows everyone to enjoy a few moments of self-care and energising.
- Breath into your abdomen and push the energy out into your hands, rubbing the palms together and energising them.
- Massage your palms and then fingertip.
- Wipe your face, your forehead, then eyes, and throat.
- Tap your head lightly - front, and then back.
- Block your ears with heel of your hand, and lightly drum on the base of the back of your neck with your fingers.
- Pinch your ears - starting at the lobes and working around the edge of your ears.
- Lightly drum your upper chest with your finger tips.
- Massage your stomach in a clockwise direction.
- Now tap your kidneys.
- And pummell your buttocks. They can take a beating - we carry lots of tension here.
- Brush your arms from shoulders to fingertips.
- Brush your legs from your thighs to your ankles.
- Now bounce up and down on your heels a few times and let your breath out - with an audible sigh (demonstrate the audible sigh).
