Dry brushing is a nice technique to use on it's own, or to pair with self massage/oil application. Dry brushing has multiple benefits, to include inviting energy in and down; this can have a grounding effect, especially in a culture where often our energy is moving out and up. There are lots of ways to apply dry brushing technique...this article is simple and focuses on moving lymph. www.nyrnaturalnews.com/article/qa-what-are-the-benefits-of-skin-brushing/A way to add grounding benefits (to reduce anxiety, increase feeling of being centered/focused) is to brush away from the trunk toward extremities, then back to the trunk. So you'd start by brushing down from your upper back/shoulders, down your arm to your palms and fingertips, then back to your shoulder, back toward your trunk. Then you can brush down the glutes and legs to the foot, sole of the foot, then back up the inner leg to the groin area, then your other leg and arm, finishing by down ward motions on the front of the throat and neck, and clockwise circular motion over the abdomen. The most important thing is to begin, and see what feels the best for you by observing how you feel. |
