Yogasana for Eyes: Palming
- Rub
your hands together for 10 to 15 seconds until they feel warm and energized.
- Then
gently place your hands over your eyes, with the fingertips resting on the
forehead, the palms over the eyes, and the heels of the hands resting on the
cheeks.
- Don’t
touch the eyeballs directly, but hollow the hands slightly and allow them to
form a curtain of darkness in front of the eyes.
- Close
your eyes, breathe deeply, and relax.
- Envision
the eyes absorbing the darkness like a sponge, while also welcoming healing
warmth and energy from the hands. Invite the eyes to grow soft and spacious,
and enjoy this break from visual stimulation.
- Continue
this palming action as long as it feels soothing—for just a few seconds or up
to five minutes.
- When
you are ready to emerge, gently remove the hands from the face and slowly open
the eyes.
- This palming technique can
also be done after the eye exercises that follow to further rest the eyes.
