| Coming & Going by Anne LaBrie |
This is a great way to
either start your day or finish your day.
If it’s a really long day, rub your feet both in the morning and at night! Before the
fifteen-minute clock starts, make sure you assemble your ingredients – sort of
like a recipe. These will enhance the experience because all of your senses
will be engaged – sight, sound, smell, taste and, of course, touch!
Ingredients
* Favorite lotion
* Soft music
* Essential oil – (tangerine, lavender, or
peppermint
are good);
* Piece of chocolate caramel
Note: This last one counts as both sight and taste!
Okay, now take off your
shoes & socks and fill a small basin with warm soapy water. Start your
music and add your favorite essential oil. Put both feet in the water and just let them relax for a
minute.
1. Starting
with your right foot, move it slowly in a clockwise motion in the water
3
times and then 3 times in a counterclockwise motion. Repeat with
the left foot.
2. Place
the chocolate caramel in your mouth and let it slowly melt.
3. Dry
off your foot and put a small dab of lotion in one hand. Rub the bottom
of your
foot from
heel to toes in long, sweeping motions - 3 times.
4. Move
your big toe in a circle 5 times, then in the other direction 5 times. Repeat
with the next toe and so on until all toes have been gently circulated.
5. Form
your hand in a fist, and rub the arch of your foot with those fisted knuckles
of the other hand, with as much pressure as feels comfortable, for
at least one
minute.
6. Rub
the top of your foot in long strokes from your ankle to your toes 3 times
and
put your foot back in the warm water.
7. Now,
repeat the above steps with the other foot or change feet after each step.
(Pun intended!).
