Mindful hand massage
Hello lovely mindfulness community. How are you doing today? Today I like to propose a short hand massage. 
If you like you can use an oil or cream your body is used to, to avoid any allergy reactions but this is optional. During the massage focus on your breathing and the sensations you are feeling.
Find a space where you feel comfortable and if wanted put some relaxing music on. Breathe deeply in and out for 3 times. Rest in the present moment for a count of 5.
If using oil/cream rub a little of it over the entire hand and wrist in slow and gentle strokes.
Use the thumb to rub small, gentle circles around the opposite wrist feeling the small bones located here and the sensations being felt.
Then use the thumb to continue to rub in small circles between bones on the tops of the hands. Follow the natural lines along the hand towards the fingers.
Take each finger in turn and use the thumb to rub in the same circular motion along each finger from base at palm to fingertip.
Pull each finger softly by the fingertip.
Clasp hands together, entwining hands (like in prayer) and move hands and wrists back and forth, left to right and in soft circular motions.
Turn the hand over and use the same small, gentle circular motions of the thumb to rub the palm of the hand starting at the thumb base and then working your way up the palm to the top near the fingers.
Repeat on other hand.
Complete the massage by giving your hand one more rub down like you did in the beginning.
Lay your hands in your lap, take three more deep breaths and continue your day.
I would love to hear how it worked.

@amiablePeace77 oh I love hand massage. Someone told me that there are nerve endings to every part of the body in the hand. I love to find the sore places and then gently rub them. They seem to be calling out to me to touch them. I feel so much better afterwards.
I absolutely adore a hand massage, what a great idea😊
@LottieHappy I agree great idea.
@LottieHappy
Lottie, me too, whenever i have to wait somewhere i either do a quick hand massage or listen to my favorite music

Oh I love hand massages! They are so relaxing :) my friends say that I am really good at them so usually after an exam they will ask me to give them hand massages hahaha
@peppermintlove
what a lovely way to help others!
I can't wait for my massage on Friday. Counting the hours until the relaxing time.
@DanaMH
Dana, I am happy for you that massage helps you to relax. Massage sessions can be like an oasis in the desert - you just want to go there
@amiablePeace77 Hi Peace! This hand massage was so soothing and relaxing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!
@SaimaK
SaimaK, I am glad that you enjoyed it and found it relaxing =D
@amiablePeace77
That was amazing! Usually if I try to rub my hands it doesn't feel as good, but this technique - being really mindful with it - really worked! Wow... thank you so much for sharing!
