      Ill. 10

      In their dynamics, the circling movements reach their climax at the farthest point from the spine at the far outside on the sides of the back.

      Thus my hand contact while enclosing the ribcage comprises the greatest engagement on the outside, while a supporting ‘gesture of levity’ arises on the inside:

      For a moment, therefore, the flow of the motion comes to halt so that something ‘musical’ flows into the movement and the patient can feel a sense of inner expansiveness.

      Then I release and finish the two circles by swinging my hands back to the spine. In conclusion, after several loops, I stroke the outer sides of the hip area downwards with both hands simultaneously. The whole execution is repeated several times.

      EFFECT

      Animation and stimulation of the breathing; harmonisation; a sense of expansiveness arises.

      INDICATIONS

      Asthma; respiratory disorders; neurasthenia; fears; fatigue; convalescence.

      NOTE

      The emphasis is created at the periphery of the back, not near the spine!

Variations of two-handed circles on the back

      In a variation, the two-handed circles on the back can also be counterclockwise. Here my right hand starts towards the lower right, the left hand towards the upper left.

      The emphasis does not change as a result; it still stays at the periphery of the back.

      EFFECT

      Enlivens and stimulates the circulation; a feeling of finding oneself again arises.

      INDICATIONS

      Circulatory disorders, listlessness, hyperactivity, hysteria.

6. The Good Morning lemniscate

      In this Einreibung, the upper back is covered; the lower back and buttocks remain uncovered approximately to the coccyx.

      I remain in my position on the patient’s left side. Throughout the treatment, my left hand rests lightly on the left side of the patient’s waist.

      During the Einreibung, the fingertips of my right hand are placed to the right of the lower lumbar vertebrae, creating there a permanent centre of rest.

      The actual movement comes from theheel of my hand which describes a ‘harmonious eight’ form below thefingertips. It starts in the middle with the loop to the bottom right, at the same time dipping in to engage.

      Ill. 11

      This emphasis is released towards the outside halfway up the right loop. With warm skin contact, the heel of the hand now glides over the top inwards in the direction of the spine.

      Ill. 12

      On the arc downwards – away from the spine – I engage again and then slide theheel of my hand softly over the sacrum.

      This engagement continues up half the height of the second loop. At the outer arc, I release it again until the left loop descends inwards towards the spine.

      Ill. 13

      There is renewed engagement on the inner arc before the ‘harmonious eight’ is finally completed at the point of intersection, and the patient becomes aware of the latter through an intense build-up of warmth (‘small fire’). In its dynamics, therefore, the movement breathes between emphasis (below) and release (above).

      During emphasis, a warm, soft contact by the heel of the hand increases the intensity of the movement in this area. Having performed this several times, I finish the Einreibung after a right loop with a downstroke in the centre. During this downstroke, too, my fingers point towards the head.

      EFFECT

      Warming; waking; raising; activating; stimulating initiative.

      INDICATIONS

      Morning ‘grouchiness’; listlessness; depression; tired legs; sciatica.

      NOTE

      Use only in the morning! Do not perform energetically!
