Step 1
Pinch your thumb and index finger together. In this massage technique, none of your other fingers touches the body.
-
Step 2
Place your pinched hands on each ear lobe of the recipient. Apply just a slight amount of pressure. Think of the amount of pressure it would take to hold a coin between those two fingers.
-
Step 3
Pull the ear lobe away from the body toward the recipient's shoulders. You may also lift slightly. Stop when you feel a small amount of tension from the position you are holding.
-
Step 4
Hold the cranial ear pulls for several minutes. Check in with the recipient to make sure this technique is comfortable and effective for them. The longer the hold, the greater the release of tension in the cranial area.
