My name is Melissa Klehammer.
We are here to do a quick lymphatic facial massage.
Now I already have a 15 minute lymphatic facial massage on Insight Timer.
Which offers a good amount of instruction,
Description on the lymphatic system.
This video is pretty much what I do every morning and or evening.
So it's more realistic,
It's more accessible,
And it just takes a couple of minutes.
So let's begin.
So I want you to find your collarbones.
And in the hollow of the collarbones,
You're gonna draw very gentle art.
Or a JNL.
My left hand draws the letter J,
And my right hand draws the letter L.
And you're going very gently.
Opening up this area,
There's a big colony or cluster of lymph nodes just underneath this area.
So we have to open you here first.
And then we're going to take the pinky side of the hand and gently draw it down the neck.
So when I'm doing this morning or night,
I'm doing three or four passes and that's it.
And then I'm going to my ears.
I've got kind of Spock fingers and I'm taking the skin very gently down.
It's not up and down,
It's only down.
And I do again three or four of these.
Swallow.
And do one more.
Go down the leg.
Into the collarbones.
Now we're going to do little rainbow strokes from the chin.
To the ear.
Again,
I do three or four.
So gentle.
.
.
Pulling of the skin,
But pull is a strong word.
It's just enough that the skin moves and bounces back when you release the hands.
One more.
Chin to ear.
We do the same thing basically all the way up toward the forehead.
So now we're going above the lip.
Three little rainbow passes.
Top of the lip.
To your ear.
We'll do one more.
And then I take a couple swipes down the nose.
And then,
But same little rainbow,
I do three little ones.
On my cheekbones.
Going toward the top of the ear.
Okay.
And then I go up the forehead.
Couple swipes,
And then those little rainbow strokes.
So from the forehead to the temple.
Okay,
So now we go back to the ears.
Swallow.
And then down the neck a couple times.
And then we end here at the collarbones.
So this was three minutes.
I talked a little bit in the beginning,
So three minutes of time.
If I have a little more time or if I'm really tired or feeling extra puffy around the eyes,
I'm gonna pinch my eyebrows.
So this is kind of bonus or extra.
Not something I do every day.
Let's be honest sometimes you know you just you're rushing it's not ideal but so i'll spend again three or four passes just pinching the eyebrows always going in the direction of the ears.
And then I'll take those little rainbow strokes that we were doing and I'll go even more gently under the eyes because this area is really thin skin.
Really sensitive.
Always in the direction of the ears.
And then I'll just,
Little taps.
Again,
And it's not random,
It's.
.
.
I'm going in the direction.
Of the ears,
That is the way the direction or the way the lymph flows.
I just kind of go on the.
.
.
Eyebrows and under.
So we're sending that fluid to the ears.
Now we're finishing.
Behind the ears.
Down the neck.
And at the collarbone.
And that's it.
We begin and we end here.
And then I go on with my day.
But let's just take a breath or two.
Hopefully feeling lighter.
More clear.
Because literally what we are doing is clearing the face of excess fluid.
And inflammation.
So I hope you have found this helpful.
I hope that you return to this.
Often until you remember the movements for yourself and can start to do it on your own.
Thank you so much.
Again,
My name is Melissa Klehammer,
And thanks for practicing this with me.
