How to Perform a self massage/ Abhyanga
1. Choose your infused herbal oil.
2. Heat up your herbal oil. Warm the oil in its container in a sink full of warm water or a large Pyrex measuring cup filled with warm water or at least oil in a very warm space.
3. Next apply oil to the entire body beginning with the neck and arms. Remember to do circular motions over the joints and long strokes on the limbs.
4. Clockwise circular strokes will be performed around the breast area and on the abdominal area.
5. Continue sequence to hips, buttocks, legs and ending on the feet.
6. Let the oil soak in for 13-22 minutes for maximum benefit. Be sure to stay out of drafts and in a warm space at this time.
7. Take a warm bath or shower. Use gentle soap, it is good if a little oil remains.
8. Repeat daily.
9. Once a week or once a moon cycle, incorporate your head into your massage ritual. Begin by applying a small amount of oil to the top of your head. Massage the top of the head in a clockwise manner with the center of your palm. Massage oil into the rest of your scalp and hair. Let the oil soak in for at least 22 minutes to overnight. Cover your head to keep warm. If leaving overnight, I’ll sleep with a thick towel on my pillow case or wrap my head, so I do not get my sheets oily. To wash hair, I will wash with shampoo, rinse and then wash with shampoo a second time.
10. Take your time, be gentle and soft with yourself and enjoy this grounding nervous system routine.
