Today we are doing a facial reflexology routine for lymphatic drainage.
I am going to use a facial reflexology tool.
You can use your finger.
You do not need to have a tool.
This is the kind of thing you can do on the go.
You can do it at night,
Morning,
While you're watching TV.
And the reason we do lymphatic drainage is because our bodies build up a bunch of residue.
And this helps our body drain and release.
So after you do this practice,
Drink a bunch of water.
It'll be really good.
Start by putting our hands over our hearts.
Taking a few slow,
Deep breaths in and out.
Arriving here.
We'll start with our hands and warm up the face.
Along the edges of the face.
Do the sides of the face over here,
Along the ears.
Behind the ears.
If you have earrings in,
You might want to take them out,
But you can do it with earrings in as well.
Again,
You can use your finger.
Or you can use.
.
.
A tour.
We do about 10.
10 of each point.
Very simple.
Start here on the inside of the eye.
We're going to do long hair.
And then we'll go to the other side.
We're keeping very,
Very light.
Pressure.
We're not pushing hard.
At all.
We don't need to push hard.
Isn't that true for so many things?
And then we're gonna come right here.
Along the top of the nose.
This is one of my favorite routines and it's so quick and so fast.
And then we're going to go right here.
The side of the nose,
Both sides.
Doesn't matter if you start on the right side or the left side.
You know how it works.
This is a great routine to do at night if you've had a busy day or an active day.
Just to get the lymph and circulation and everything moving inside the body.
Okay,
Along the side of the nose,
And then we're gonna go right here along this labial fold.
I have a mole right on the center of that fold so if you have a mole or anything going on on your face.
Again,
Just be really gentle if you have acne or a sore and you have the tool use like the larger end of the tool.
Just do whatever feels really good.
We're not trying to cause any harm or damage.
And being gentle.
I'm going right along here This is so easy.
You can combine this with a little prayer or meditation.
Go right here.
This one's so easy because it just follows all the creases in the face.
It's going right here in this little fold in the chin.
And then as we do with all,
We come down the front of the ear and we go around the back of the ear.
We do this about 10 times too.
So gentle.
If you get your hair caught,
That's okay.
You'll get better.
I always do better using my right hand than my left hand.
Okay.
You can set your tool down.
There's so many acupressure points in the ear.
Boost to another little thing.
Set everything in.
And there you go.
So simple,
So easy.
Facial reflexology,
Or lymphatic drainage.
All right,
I'm Jessica Amos.
Until next time,
May you stay with yourself today and always.
