Re: The Ancient Massage Foundation Re: thumb walking

I use the rhythm of my breath as much as possible through out the practice. For
extended sessions: over 90 minutes I do some of the sen lines along the legs as
well as foot pressing the hamstrings (different angle) while they are in
sidelying position.
