Step by Step Hand Reflexology Headache Relief Technique by Brenda Layou

Hand Reflexology Headache Relief Technique  by Brenda Layou

  So lets start by with some water, a nice big glass please. Water really helps with the transporting of waste and toxins out of your body. Also a well hydrated body moves qi and blood flow more efficiently.
Step 1
Rotate your wrists in large circles in both directions and back and forth. Stretch your fingers in all directions. This will be reflexing to the many bones in the skull, jaw, neck and shoulders. This step of the reflexology headache relief technique sends energy, increased blood circulation and relaxation to all bones in the skull.

Step 2
Hold your thumb near the base joint (where thumb and hand connect) and rotate the thumb in a big slow gentle circle, one way and then the other. Do this at least 5 times each direction, nice, full, big circles. You may find it easier if you place your hand on your tummy, see which feels best to you.
This is a very relaxing technique, after doing 5 full circles do it again but this time pull on the thumb to stretch it at the same time.
Step3

Now move up to the next joint (middle of your thumb ) gently rock that joint side to side-slowly- and then rotate in a circular motion one way and then the other. Support thumb from behind so that you are only moving it at that one joint at a time.
Step 4

Repeat on all fingers, note that the fingers have one more joint than the thumb- so that’s a full rotation on the joint closest to your hand and then gentle side by sides and circles on all other joints. Go slow and methodical. 
Step 5
Now with a gentle but firm squeeze go up and down the thumb on all sides, then do same on fingers, one by one and slow. Take your time, be relaxed, be present and remember to breath.
Step 6
Now do exactly the same thing on your other hand.
Cool Huh?
Reflexology will improve your blood circulation and promote harmony within your body whilst it deeply relaxes you.
