Apply a body oil or lotion to clean skin to ensure a smooth, comfortable glide.

Use moderate pressure and repeat each movement 5 to 10 times. As a general principle, work along the length of the limbs toward the heart and across wider areas from the centre outward.

• Legs: Starting at the ankles, glide upward toward the knees, then from the knees toward the groin using long, deliberate strokes.
  
• Thighs: On the inner and outer thighs, sweep upward toward the hips.
  
• Arms: Begin at the wrists and glide upward toward the elbows, then from the elbows toward the shoulders.
  
• Abdomen: Use gentle clockwise circular movements following the natural direction of digestion, then sweep outward from the navel toward the sides of the waist.
  
• Waist and Flanks: Glide upward and inward toward the torso, finishing with strokes toward the underarm area.
  
• Calves and Ankles: Use upward strokes toward the knees to help relieve the sensation of heaviness.
  

For a deeper ritual, use after a warm shower when the muscles are relaxed and the skin is receptive.
