Have the person who is to receive the massage remove their shoes and socks and soak their feet in the warm water for about ten minutes. Do not make the water too hot. Dry their feet well. You may wish to light incense or candles and darken the room someone to increase the feeling of relaxation. Before beginning the massage, the recipient may be a bit hesitant.
Many people are quite sensitive and ticklish on their feet.
Reassure the person that you will use firm, slow strokes rather than light, quick ones. Have the recipient get comfortable in a chair with their feet propped up on a footstool or another chair. Urge them to close their eyes and relax. Place your hands gently around their feet for a few minutes. Simply leave them there and allow the warmth from your hands to connect with their feet.
