Adding to the scraping post of the other day, I want to make clear that while scraping marks are sometimes very dramatic and potentially alarming visually (as in the picture in the last post), when done correctly, scraping is not painful. It can feel excellent (like an itch being scratched) and it can feel uncomfortable; something that you have to breathe through a little bit; but if it is painful then the practitioner needs to lighten their touch. The sensation of being scraped should never come close to what the marks make it look like it would feel like.
Also, scraping should never be done on extremely depleted weak people as it is inherently a depleting therapy (as are all detoxifying therapies. They are removing things from the body as opposed to nourishing therapies such as heat, application of oils, and nurturing touch). Everything has its place.
