WYLDE BODY BRUSHING RITUAL | Sacred Practice for Flow, Detox, and Embodied Radiance

Not only is dry brushing an energetic reset, and sacred self-touch ritual, dry brushing move your lymph, wakes your skin, and encourages nervous system regulation. Dry brushing encourages that full-body glow, detox, and nervous system support.

✧ What You’ll Need:
A dry body brush with firm natural bristles (long handle optional).
A quiet 3–5 minute window, ideally before your shower or bath.
Optional: soothing music, breathwork, candlelit moment

STEP-BY-STEP: Full Body Dry Brushing

  • Always brush toward the heart — this is key for lymphatic flow.
  • Use long, light strokes, and breathe deeply. This is a nervous system ritual.

Feet Legs

  • Start at your feet and brush upward toward your knees (3–5 strokes per section).
  • Then from knees to hips — front, sides, and back of thighs.
  • Don’t forget the backs of knees and inner thighs (lymph-rich areas).

🌀Why: Feet + legs are where stagnation builds — this helps circulate blood and lymph upward.

Glutes + Hips

  • Brush in upward circular motions across the bum + hip area. Sweep in toward the centerline of your body.

Abdomen

  • Gentle clockwise circles around your navel (direction of digestion).
  • Then brush diagonally upward toward your heart.

Arms

  • Start at fingertips and brush up toward shoulders.
  • Don’t forget underarms — use lighter strokes (lymph drainage center).

Chest & Décolletage

  • Very gently brush from breasts outward and upward toward the collarbone.
  • Avoid brushing directly over nipples.

🌀 This area is energetically sacred — move slow, with reverence.

Back

  • Use a long-handled brush or ask a partner for support. Sweep from lower back up toward shoulders

Closing
Pause. Breathe. Place your hands over your heart and say: “I am alive in this skin. I am flowing. I am free.”

Aprés Brushing

  • Shower to rinse away dead skin + toxins. 
  • After drying, apply your favorite balm or oil in upward strokes.
  • Hydrate internally (water, herbal tea, minerals).

HOW OFTEN? 2–3x/week is plenty. Best done in the morning for energizing or before cold plunging. Avoid broken or sensitive skin.
