One of my favorite recommendations to help clients slow down and have more presence and intention with their personal gua sha and roller practice is to 'pick a number'. Pick a number of passes to complete for each region of the face or body that you are working on with the tool
Today I'm using the CJB Tiger Eye gemstone roller . I picked 3 passes and I'm taking 5 seconds to complete each pass.
If you're short on time consider 3 - 5 passes for each region and with more time try 15 - 30 passes and focus on the seconds or a count to complete each pass.
How does it feel to complete a fast pass vs a pass that takes 5-8 seconds? I notice an ease in tension, relaxation and again, the opportunity to be present and mindful during your day and with the work.
Let me know if you give this method a try and how much different it feels to slow down your practice ❤️
