This is assume is to re-create the effects of a breeze & stimulate the plant into stronger growth to resist it. (See I know what you're talking about).

I think just running you finger gently over the plant is all you need to do.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I think the Japanese gently brush seedling with a sheet of paper to harden them off, as DD suggests to strengthen the plants.
