Discipline and determination play a large role in doing my exercises. If it’s worthwhile to do at all, it’s worth doing well. Whoever thinks to massage their ears? We do! They need stimulation too. Realize how much massaging you did in such a short time. Whoever thinks to massage their nose? We do, of course. Our noses will thank us in many
ways.
The facial exercises with the 3 right leg positions are now complete.
We will now begin the facial exercises with the 3 left leg
positions.

Straight up in the air above the body-hamstring
stretch
2 -

stretch
3 -

replacement.)
Note: May be done with leg bent to 90 degrees, therefore more controlled
stretch

Hair needs to be rejuvenated. The cells in the hair follicles need to be stimulated to repair themselves.
Massaging the hair and head with your fingers will encourage this process and make your hair be and look healthy and
strong.

Third head/hair
exercise
•
The total head exercise count should be 90 seconds. Enjoy the stimulation you have created for your whole head. I am discovering that the colour of my hair is changing and improving. It is not getting lighter and whiter. I can see a hint of strawberry colour. This hair colour is definitely not from a package!
I realize it will take a while to master these instructions. Why use legs with facial exercises? Elevating the feet keeps the legs light with a lot of consistent energy. It is a wonderful way to rest and relax tired feet. It helps the entire body to feel good. And it is a simple way to help prevent and relieve varicose veins. As you move the legs to different positions the back muscles are strengthened and relaxed. This exercise helps and improves balance in your body.
I don’t have any difficulty so far doing these exercises. I have yet to have a falling spell in my
house.
REFLEXOLOGY & MASSAGE
First, study the reflexology hand chart carefully and follow the directions.
Correctly stimulating reflex points in the hand can induce relaxation and relieve stress and tension in the corresponding glands, organs and tissues in the body. This exercise may slow down the inflammation progression of osteoarthritis in the fingers. As well, it can increase flexibility in the muscles, stimulating blood and energy circulation. Remember there are 4,000 nerve endings in our
hands.
Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Energize your body.
Slow down.
Be patient.
Be determined.
Remember: read the chart and directions carefully.
Practice makes perfect. Do
it!
Reflexology On Fingers
Self-reflexology massage on
fingers.
There are 4 parts to the self-reflexology massage on each
finger.
There are 2 pull parts, and there are 2 push
parts.
The first 2 pull parts
are:
•
Begin on the right little finger with the left hand
•
Grasp the base of the right little finger
•
Pull and twist in one direction to the tip count 1
•
Grasp the base of the same finger
•
Pull and twist in the other direction to the tip count 2
•
Do this to the count of 10 on the right little finger
The next 2 parts are 2 push parts of self-reflexology massage on each finger. The energy is being pushed back into the
body.
•
Grasp at the tip of the right little finger and push to the base of the finger.
•
Push and twist in one direction count 1
•
Push and twist in the other direction count 2
•
Do this to the count of 10 on the right little finger (You have now completed self- reflexology massage on the right little finger)
Next begin to work on your right ring finger. Follow the above directions. Remember to count to 10 with each pull and to the count of 10 with each
push.
Again, begin at the base of the finger and follow the same two-step pull-push pattern. Complete the reflexology on every finger and thumb of the right hand. Now, repeat this self-reflexology massage on the fingers and thumb of your left hand using the same two-step pull-push
pattern.
This exercise is not as tedious as it sounds. You will be surprised by what you have accomplished so far. Check the reflexology hand chart from time to time. Remember: reflexology means releasing blocked energy in energy pathways of the body. These 12 pathways connect to all of the organs, glands and tissues and culminate in the hands and feet. These pathways should not be blocked if we wish to enjoy vibrant good
health.
So far you have worked only on the fingers of both hands. Now you will do reflexology on the right palm with the left
thumb.
