This is what you're actually touching when you massage your belly ☝🏻 1. Diaphragm release Press and hold for 2-3 seconds along the lower edge of the ribcage, starting from the centre and moving towards the sides 2.Press and hold halfway between the point where your ribs meet and your navel. This is a pivotal point: it collects all the lymph coming from your lower abdomen and your legs 3.Inguinal lymph node opening Tap rhythmically to activate the lymph nodes. The abdomen is the area with most lymph nodes in the body 4. Thoracic duct stimulation The thoracic duct collects all the lymph from the lower part of the body and pushes it back up to your lett collarbone, where it goes back into your bloodstream to be filtered and drained 5. Colon stimulation Draw small circles following the shape of your colon. Imagine you're drawing an ILU with your fingertips, going from the right side of your belly to the left (never go in the opposite direction). It helps break up trapped gas and activate your colon's natural movement 6. Colon flush Gently glide your fingertips following the colon shape from the right to the left. It helps move the waste towards the exit 7. Final push Make a fist and gently glide your fist from left side of your belly towards your pubic bone. A final push to help relieve constipation 8. Lymphatic sweep Gently glide your hands from the sides of your waist towards the pubic bone to drain fluids from the sides of your belly I usually do these movements at night, when I'm in bed. The next morning I wake up with a flatter belly and I go to the toilet without issues #bellymassage #abdominalmassage #lymphaticdrainagemassage #constipation #constipationrelief - @carlottagagnaofficial
