Step by step, as we teach it at Palm Ritual
This is what the class walks through, in the order we teach it.
Read it at home, then come and feel it with someone beside you. A page can't tell you when your thumb is pressing too firmly.
Sit at a table if you can, sleeves pushed back, a little hand cream within reach. Go at the pace of the slowest move, and let each one take its time.
Rub them together, add a little cream.
It should feel like holding a warm cup.
Thumbs in slow circles from the heel of the hand outward.
Firm enough to notice, never sharp.
Hold each at the knuckle and slide to the tip.
Unhurried, like smoothing a ribbon.
Small circles around it, then one long stroke up the forearm.
Easy and even.
Start again with the other palm, from the warm cup onward.
The second one is usually easier, because now you know the way.
Shoes off, a chair with a back, and a little cream warmed between your palms first. Then one foot at a time.
Back supported, one foot across your knee.
It should feel settled, not like a stretch.
Both hands around it for a breath.
Just warmth.
Thumbs from heel to toes in short, slow strokes.
Steady, never digging.
A gentle hold and a small circle.
Light, almost playful.
A few slow circles, then the other foot.

Four things we say at the table most evenings, written down so you can keep them beside you at home.
If a spot feels sore or sharp, skip it. Comfort is the whole point. Move on to the next part, and come back to it another evening if you like.
Leave out any broken, cracked or irritated skin. Work around it, or save that hand or foot for another day.
Slower is almost always better than firmer. If a move feels like too little, try it again at half the speed before you press any harder.
Unsure about anything? Ask at the table, or check with a qualified professional first. Nobody minds a question; that is what the evening is for.
