Shoulder Sweep and Clearing Chest Congestion

 As with all these techniques get you doctor’s permission and take the time to ground and relax using your ritual and resting hands to begin.  Left hand’s four fingers on your baby’s shoulder, thumb on your baby’s chest.  Thumb sweeps from baby’s chest center toward fingers five times and fingers are then dragged from shoulder to chest.  Gently lift whole hand off baby and start again.  Repeat technique with right hand on baby’s right side.

Forehead and Skull Sweep
We all love a great scalp massage. Place four fingers
on top of your baby’s head and your thumb on  baby’s
forehead.  Sweep thumb up from the brow to join the
fingers on top of the head, and whole hand continues
with light pressure on the scull in a round motion.
Use your knowledge of getting your hair cut and
remember what the stylest does when shampooing your
hair and scalp.  The fingers and hand are one unit
working together like one of those hand held back
scratchers.  Your movement comes from your whole arm.
Repeat technique with other hand.
