of Self-Massage
If you cannot find anyone to give you a
massage, you can easily massage yourself. This is not quite as
enjoyable as being massaged by someone else, but if you work slowly and
rhythmically, you will find that you can soothe away tension and
practically send yourself to sleep. You alone know all your aches
and pains, so you can use the healing power of self-massage to alleviate
them.

The face collects tension during the day, and giving yourself a simple face massage can help you to unwind and prevent headaches from occurring. It also stimulates the circulation and lymph glands.

Arm Massage
