Always brush towards the heart. Start at the feet and use long, gentle strokes toward the knees, working your way around the lower legs. Do the same for the thighs, brushing upward, from the knees to the hips. Move to the lower buttocks, sweeping upward towards the outside of your hips and back. Gently brush from the back of the hand to the elbow and from the elbow to the shoulder. For the stomach, start in the pelvic region and brush in a clockwise direction to aid digestion. Next, brush from the stomach over the lower ribs - and finally, from the collar bones towards the heart.
