No. 12
SHOULDERS AND UPPER CHEST
[Sidenote: 10 sec.]
Massaging (stroking and pressing) transversely over the left
shoulder, downward over the upper left chest with the right
hand; then across the right shoulder and downward over the
upper right chest, in the same way, with the left hand, and so
forth, alternately.
[Sidenote: 15 sec.]
Deep Breathing
No. 13
BOTH FRONT ASPECTS OF OPPOSITE THIGHS, HIPS AND SIDES
OF LOWER BODY, INWARD AND UPWARD ACROSS CHEST AND
DOWNWARD ON BACK AND BUTTOCKS
[Sidenote: 15 sec.]
Massaging (stroking and pressing) each upper leg in front
simultaneously, from just above the knees, upwards over hips
and lower sides of body, with arms crossed (the right leg, hip
and lower side with the left hand, and the left leg, hip and
lower side with the right), continuing inward and upward across
chest, outward to armpits, and downward over each side of lower
back and buttocks; at the same time bending the trunk forward
and backward.
[Sidenote: 15 sec.]
Deep Breathing
No. 14
UPPER AND LOWER CHEST—TURNING
[Sidenote: 15 sec.]
Massaging (stroking and pressing) from the lower right side
of the upper body with the right hand, and from the upper
left side of the upper body with the left hand simultaneously
straight across the lower and upper chest to opposite sides and
back again; at the same time turning the trunk to the right and
left.
No Deep Breathing at this Interval
No. 14 A
[Sidenote: 20 sec.]
Massaging (stroking and pressing) straight across the upper and
lower chest, as in exercise No. 14, but instead of turning,
roll the trunk around in a circle.
Three times each way around is equivalent to five executions.
[Sidenote: 15 sec.]
Deep Breathing
[Sidenote: Total 10 minutes]
(_Without considering the pauses between the massage exercises
and the deep breathing exercises._)
Practicing thus all the combined massage exercises five times each, and
using fifteen seconds for the deep breathing at each of those intervals,
where indicated, will require about twelve minutes, provided, of course,
that the pauses between the massage exercises and the deep breathing
exercises are not too long.
The five-times-limit is purely arbitrary and has been selected merely as
an illustration.
Practicing all the massage exercises ten times each, and in the manner
just explained, will not necessarily make the whole performance last
twice as long, as when they are practiced five times each, because the
time for the breathing exercises will remain the same.
