Foot Massage (do-it-yourself)

Found another great article especially when you feel so stressed. a few minutes of foot massage they say is like having a full body massage since everything is all interconnected anyway. that's what i think. hahaha. this foot massage is based on the principles of ayurvedic reflexology.

1. Wash your feet with warm soap and water, then wipe them dry.
2. Apply a small amount of sesame seed or almond massage oil mixed with lavender essential oils. (whatever massage oil that you have will do i guess)
3. Start rubbing at the base of your little toe.
4. Move over to the base of the next toe and continue rubbing.
5. Apply slight pressure on the flesh between your little toe and the next toe over.
6. Now move to your middle toe.
7. Massage, stretch, and pull your middle toe in a circular motion, then do the same with your other toes.
8. With your fingertips or the palms of your hands, gently apply pressure to both sides of your heel just below the ankle, and then rub around your ankle clockwise to boost energy and circulation.
9. Finally, knead and squeeze your calf muscle to release tension.
10. Repeat on the second foot.

but of course nothing beats having someone do this massage for you. =)
