Procedure: Mist, Compress and Massage

1.      Mist your client’s body using Sleep Time Body Mist. Hold the bottle 2 – 3 feet from client with the nozzle facing toward the ceiling and spray the mist upward. The mist           will fall gently on the skin and feel like the mist in a rain forest.

2.      Wring out the hot water from the hand towel that is in the crockpot and lay over the body area you just misted. With a flat hand press the hot water into the body tissue. Using your thumb you can press firmly into Trigger and Shiatsu points for deeper release.

3.      Massage your client with Sleep Time Body Oil using very firm, flat and slow strokes. Maintain a spirit of assurance as you massage your client, communicating to them in your touch that all is well and they are safe to let go and deeply relax.

Note: Starting your client prone or supine is the therapist’s choice depending on preference. In this treatment it is better to mist, compress and then massage a section of the body at a time.
