and Care
Licking Practice
Materials:
Essential oil (What I had at home was extra virgin cooking oil)
Towel
Your magic potion (Herbal tea of your choice)
Observation:
It is suggested that in order to carry out this practice, you should be in the warmest place of your home (wherever you are) or where the sunlight can reach.
If you can be naked, if not with as little clothes as possible so that the practice is more tasty.
It is desirable that you are lying down to perform this practice, if you cannot make sure you are sitting, feel your hamstrings and do not have your back resting on anything.
Lie (Or Sit) on a soft enough surface to feel your bones, weight and gravity.
With your eyes closed, notice your breathing (be aware, perceiving your breath is not changing the intensity of how you are already breathing, just pay attention to the air that comes in cold and comes out hot)
Be silent for a while
Awaken
Take your oil and spread it on your fingertips and in that first moment rub a little on your nostrils, try to smell it…
Spread more oil on your hands. Be generous. Touch yourself. Make your hands travel across your face, ear, neck, shoulder blades, ribs, belly, lower back, hips, thighs, leg and feet.
Whenever you need it, put more oil on your skin, feel the aroma, feel your skin in the sunlight, try to perceive the softness of your touch, your temperature, what is this feeling? Drive the end at your own pace and complete.
