Part 3/7:
As the routine progresses, Schellea advocates for self-massage as a form of self-care. By thanking one’s body for its hard work and massaging different areas such as the arms, waist, and legs, participants cultivate a nurturing mindset. This section demonstrates how self-appreciation can bolster emotional well-being, especially during times of isolation.
Waking Up the Body
After a relaxing start, participants are encouraged to fully activate their muscles through tapping exercises on the legs and foot massages. Schellea notes the importance of nurturing one’s feet as they carry all the body’s weight. This self-care practice not only feels delightful but reminds practitioners of the pleasure embedded in taking care of oneself.
