Magic Exercise: Hold for a Facelift
Palming the backs of your calves for at least 20 minutes a day has a magic effect: it helps regulate the temperature in your body (especially in a very warm climate), it relaxes the muscles in the body and it moves the deep skin energy to clean, purify and regenerate the skin (so good for all skin conditions). I have a friend who practises this hold every morning because she wakes up feeling a bit tight and stiff – she was delighted when I said to her: ‘Oh, no wonder you look vibrant and so much younger than your years.’ Hold 20 minutes every day for two weeks, and no doubt your friends will start asking if you’ve had a facelift.
Cross your arms, and place the palm of your RIGHT hand (with fingers facing down towards your feet) on the LEFT calf (lower leg). Do the same for the palm of the LEFT hand on the RIGHT calf. If you’re working on someone else, lie her face up, stand at her feet facing her and place your LEFT palm on her RIGHT calf fingers facing up towards her head, and your RIGHT palm on her LEFT calf, fingers facing up towards her head (in this case you don’t cross the arms).
