For those wanting to go further with their lymph / fascial / nerve work, beyond their rebounding, dry brushing, Big 6, heel drops, breath work, these are some of the others I use : As always, slow your breathing first + get present. Tune into your body. Warm mug of lemon water. Practice long, slow, smooth, steady inhales + exhales. Let your body receive these. + Popliteal Hollow Hold : This is a deep leg drain. Place your hands behind your knees, right into the soft hollows. You want no movement. Just a gentle, sustained hold for 90 to 120 seconds. This supports our lymph return from the lower legs and can shift heavy + stagnant obstructions. + Inner Ankle Channel Hold : This is a medial leg and pelvic drainage spot. Your fingers slide just behind the inner ankle bone, into the soft groove between bone and tendon. You want lighter pressure. Do 60 to 90 seconds each side. This influences a deep return from the feet upward into the pelvic basin. It is also our Kidney 3 point (Great Stream) in acupuncture, an absolute bastion of our Yin. You can also make a fist + hit this point with the soft side of your fist for 108 times to wake up this stream & reap its benefits. + Sacral Still Point Hold : This is a pelvic lymph and nervous system regulation area. Lie down and place one or both of your hands under your sacrum. Let the weight of your entire body rest into your hands. I would do palms-in as that also allows the Qi in your palms to flow into this area. Stay completely still for 2 to 3 minutes. This shapes + assists pelvic congestion and calms one’s entire system down. Practice presence in it. + Axillary Fold Melt : This is an upper body and chest drainage one. Lift one arm just slightly and use your fingers to sink gently into the front fold of your armpit. Now just practice a slow, sustained contact for 60 to 90 seconds. Then after, gently massage the poof/pit “puff” or under arm hollow -whichever you have. This helps open a major but often underworked drainage area. I use my middle three fingers to gently massage both clockwise + counter clockwise on each side. + Ear Traction Hold : This is auricular and cranial drainage which I often post about on this page, since our ear points can treat the entire body. Hold your ears gently and draw them outward and slightly back. Maintain a soft traction for 60 to 90 seconds. Grab different areas in this general way and do each for 60-90 seconds. Experiment on differing locations to see if any for you produce any more relief than others. This can reduce head pressure, jaw tightness + temporal congestion. + Soft Palate Lift Awareness : This is a cranial & airway regulator. With lips closed, gently lift the back of your tongue & soft palate as if creating more space in the upper throat. Breathe slowly through the nose for 2-3 minutes. This can subtly improve sinus drainage & cranial fluid movement. + Sub Occipital Skin Glide This is a superficial cranial drain. Place fingers at the base of the skull and gently glide the skin upward a few millimeters to cm, then hold for 60 to 90 seconds. This can (more superficially) shift head pressure. + Plantar Arch Compression : This is a full chain fascial/fluid return point. Using your thumbs (or a ball) apply slow, sustained pressure into the center of your arch. Stay on each point 30-60 seconds. This influences your entire posterior chain + upward movement of fluid for you. + Lower Rib Margin Hold : This is diaphragm & thoracic duct support. Your hands rest along the lower ribs. On exhale, allow your fingers to sink slightly inward & hold for a few slow breaths. This restores diaphragmatic motion (one of the primary drivers of lymph flow) + Medial Elbow Crease Hold : This one is an arm lymph & fascial release exercise. Place your fingers into the inner elbow crease & hold gently for 60 seconds. This supports drainage from the forearm & reduces tension through this arm line. I have an entire book of these, so will list more soon x
