  • Sequence of movement

    With the index finger, draw a line that looks like a two on the upper back between the shoulder blades of the person being addressed. This symbolizes a bed or a pillow with a blanket. Then you form your hand into a kind of claw, but with only your thumb, index and middle fingers tucked away. Ring finger and little finger are firmly bent. The fingertips of the three fingers are now also placed between the shoulder blades and this hand shape is used to draw about two to two and a half circles on the back, which are turned to the left.
