Okay. It's all about relaxing all your muscles except your wrist.
Take your strumming hand and put it in your lap. Now bang your wrist against the top of your thigh. Lift up your wrist and do it again. You are now stumming.
Keep your hand relaxed. Now stick a guitar in there. Only touch the strings sometimes, but keep your wrist moving up and down constantly.
If D means touch on the downstroke, and U means touch the strings on the upstroke, try this pattern:
D D U D U D U
