Guidelines for Gentle Techniques

1. Relax yourself first; enter the moment listening to music, focused on your sensations and breathing (applies to the receiver as well).
   
   
2. Light pressure – superficial tissues.
   
   
3. Incline/stroking with a lateral movement for more superficial tissues.
   
   
4. Large, broad superficial maneuvers.
   
   
5. Speed – keep within the rhythm, relaxed.
   
   
6. Use the “spider” tools and both of them.
   
   
7. Emphasize the feet, the spinal column, the head and the face.
   
   
8. For a 45-minute full program, on average 30 minutes back and 15 minutes front.
   
   
9. Connect two points.
   
   
10. Gentle, soft stretches (leg with the scapula of the same side or the opposite side – so the client feels a lengthening sensation).
    
    
11. Use more oil.
