Dry Bathing is sweeping the hands down the body to brush off any excess energy accumulated through the day from stress or activities, social engagements, or recreated from kinesthetic mirroring with others. The brushing off is a physical and symbolic mindset practice for letting go or extra energy and mimicked impressions of the body tension picked up on from others, while it also provides soothing sensation with palms and fingertips. Dry Brushing can be done from head to toe starting with the scalp and neck, shoulders and arms and continue down through the torso and legs. It can also be for only a portion of the body if a limb is starting to tense up or take on additional energy beyond comfortable. Similar to how a shower clears away, so to can Dry Brushing. Animals like cats and dogs experience dry brushing from us when they brush against our legs or receive pets and brushing from our hands.
