Now, stroke upward over the calf muscles and thighs, the palms of the
hands here stroking the outer sides of the latter, the four fingers
underneath and the thumb on top, at the same time raising the trunk to an
upright position (Fig. 5 B and C).
While the hands continue upward over the sides of hips, turn them around
so that the fingers point inward (Fig. 5 D). Continue thus with the right
hand on the right side until it is just above the crest of the ilium, or
hip bone. The left hand, at the same time moves a little higher upward
on the left side until its thumb is nearly horizontal with the nipple of
the left breast. The trunk is now in an upright position, the shoulders
thrown well back (Fig. 5 E).
With the fingers of both hands thus pointing toward the middle of the
body, continue stroking with both hands simultaneously from each side
across the front of the body, to the opposite sides, the left hand above
the right, passing each other at the middle line. Bend the trunk slightly
forward at the same time (Fig. 5 F). In other words, the right hand
strokes from the right side underneath the ribs directly over to the left
side, above the crest of the left ilium, or hip bone, and around as far
as possible on that side. The left hand strokes at the same time from
the left side across the lower chest, underneath the nipples over to and
around as far as possible on the right side. The left forearm is thus
crossed over the right (Fig. 5 G).
Then continue stroking with both hands simultaneously from each side
inward and upward over each breast and upper chest. The right hand thus
moving from the left side strokes inward and upward over the left breast
and across the upper chest to the right side and ceases underneath the
right armpit. The left hand moving from the right side, strokes inward
and upward over the right breast and across the upper chest to the left
side and ceases under the left armpit. At the same time, the trunk which
has been bent slightly forward, while the hands were stroking across the
lower chest and abdomen, is raised and bent slightly backward. In thus
stroking inward and upward over the chest, the hands and fingers are held
in the same way as when they were on the sides of the body. When moving
over the breasts the left forearm is of course crossed over the right
(Fig. 5 H), but when reaching the middle of the chest the hands cross,
the left hand being directly above the right (Fig. 5 I), and from there
they continue stroking transversely over the chest to their respective
sides under the armpit (Fig. 5 J).
